Many topics were discussed by Dr. Rosenberg during the seminar: what alzheimer's disease and dimentia really are, what causes the disease, how we stay sharp as we age, and whetherr or not it is possible to prevent alzheimer's disease. Dr. Rosenberg also shared some of the basics about alzheimer's, the newest and latest medical understanding, and the work and research currently being done to learn more and educate more on Alzheimer's Disease. Caregivers also took away from the seminar many preventative measures they can practice today to avoid dementia and alzhermer's later in life. Bringing caregivers together is social therapy as they discuss their struggles and connect with one another. It is important for them to know they are not alone.

His areas of specialization include: depression, agitation and related behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer's disease; development of state-of-the-art treatment for dementia; development of brain imaging and blood tests for Alzheimer's disease; and the study of neuroinflammation as a target for new Alzheimer's therapies.
