Cognitive Decline

Description
The Movers and Shakers are back in the pub and this week they're staring fear square in the eyes, and talking about a major fear: cognitive decline. What is the difference between Parkinsonian dementia and Alzheimer's? How does Parkinson's impact your chances of getting dementia? And when does forgetting your keys, of the neighbour's son's wife's surname, stop simply being a function of getting older? To answer all these questions, and provide practical tips for keeping the brain fit and healthy, the gang are joined by expert neurologist, Professor Rimona Weil. Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot. Additional production by Ewan Cameron. Music by Alex Stobbs. Artwork by Till Lukat. PR by Sally Jones. Movers and Shakers is generously sponsored by the Judge's old chambers, and by the contributions of private donors. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
