On today's episode, we're joined by Boston-based neurologist, researcher, and author, Dr. Andrew Budson, for a conversation about normal aging and dementia in honor of Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month. We discuss memory changes due to normal aging versus the warning signs of dementia, why you should go to the doctor if you're experiencing memory concerns, and the theory of consciousness and dementia.

To register for an upcoming educational program featuring Dr. Budson, and a free virtual educational series in honor of Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month, visit alzwareness.org.
