  • Hartman noted the company that made the 4D theater had never been asked to make wheelchair-accessible motion-simulated platforms before.

    “Before, when someone was in a wheelchair, they just sat and watched,” Hartman said. “We asked them to actually work with us to where we could put a wheelchair on a platform to where those people would have the same feeling. They had been around 30 years and no one had ever asked them to do it. Now they’re doing it, they’re saying, ‘Hey, we want to do this in other places now.’ That’s how it will start to really move forward.”

    What an amazing movement they’ve started. I love when someone’s passion infects others in a positive way to help others. And the ticket prices are actually super reasonable. Love that they make it free for those with disabilities. Outstanding.









  • Important bit:

    In experiments on postmortem human brain tissue donated from patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and Pick’s disease (a form of frontotemporal dementia), the novel antibody medicine not only cleared away tau tangles but also stopped the release of ‘tau seeds’, which travel via connected neurons to tangle up proteins in other parts of the brain.

    Many open questions remain, including whether this treatment delivered intranasally in humans will allow penetration of the antibody in effective doses throughout our much larger brains and whether there are any potentially dangerous side effects like inflammation, which is a concern in all of the amyloid-directed immunotherapy trials," write Meftah, Durrant, and Spires-Jones.
