The nervous system is the most intricate system in the human body—responsible for everything from memory and movement to balance, vision, and sleep. Navigating neurological health can be confusing, but Dr. David Schick, a licensed neurologist based in New York, brings decades of insight to help patients understand what their symptoms really mean—and how to treat them. Having earned his MD from Rutgers R.W. Johnson Medical School and completed post-graduate training at Beth Israel and Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Schick has dedicated his career to addressing a broad range of neurological conditions, including headaches, neuropathic pain, dizziness, seizures, cognitive decline, and more. Here are some of his most valuable insights for maintaining and improving your brain and nerve health. 1.

Therapeutic Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with abnormal protein modification, inflammation and memory impairment. In many ways, Alzheimer's can be considered as the epidemic of the 21st century. An entity associated with age and that, according to WHO data, affects around 50 million people worldwide, of which around 60% live in low- and middle-income countries. About 10 million new cases are registered each year. It is estimated that between 5% and 8% of the general population aged 60 years and older suffer from dementia at any given time. The total number of people with dementia is expected to reach 82 million in 2030 and 152 million in 2050. Much of this increase can be attributed to the fact that in low- and middle-income countries the number of people with dementia will tend to grow increasingly. Alzheimer’s disease is a multifactorial pathology, for which no cure is currently available. To date, we do not have any effective treat...

As a result of the disease, the production of dopamine (a molecule that allows neurons to communicate with each other, especially present in a region of the brain essential for controlling movements) decreases, which results in impaired motor functions.
