Welcome to the UCSF Memory and Aging Center channel. The videos shown here are intended to educate patients, caregivers and health professionals about the various forms of neurodegenerative diseases.

FOCUS ON CJD: We are currently featuring videos about CJD (Jakob-creutzfeld disease), a rapidly progressive dementia. In this way, we hope to support families coping with CJD and to educate the broader public about one of the most notorious dementias known. We welcome your participation in our site.

Our overall video goal is twofold: promote earlier, accurate diagnoses -- in order get more patients into research studies and clinical trials; and to help families cope with these devastating illnesses.

The UCSF Memory and Aging Center is at the forefront of discovering the causes, treatments and cures of dementia.

All of the dementias -- including Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia(FTD), Creutzfelt Jakob disease (CJD), Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease with Lewy Bodies -- share common features. They all are illnesses in which normal proteins are misprocessed.

It is our hope that our YouTube channel will help us engage an even broader audience in the fight against these illnesses.
