Excellent blog. Important information pre...Fatima,<br />Excellent blog. Important information presented in this area for Alzheimer's. <br />Do you know of any studies that speculate on which areas of the brain are affected more early on than others? Example right vs left hemisphere. Since language is often affected early on, (naming of objects etc. would that imply left frontal and left temporal regions are affected more early on in the course of the disease?<br />I have always wondered exactly why music can have a calming affect on aggitated AD patients, <br />Also if the amygdala and limbic system are affected more than we realized, that must explain why many AD patients are anxious, panic stricken and often depressed.<br />Keep up the good blogging.<br />Joseph J.
