APS talk - Dementia and the Brain: Awareness and Wellbeing

The 38th APS talk in the APS talks series, ‘Dementia and the Brain: Awareness and Wellbeing’, is presented by Prof. Charles Scerri, who shares his lifelong fascination with memory and how his research on Alzheimer’s disease evolved into a wider commitment to understanding the social and educational aspects of dementia in Malta. He explains the distinction between Alzheimer’s and dementia, outlines key risk factors, and highlights how lifestyle choices — including regular physical activity, mental engagement, and a Mediterranean diet — can help reduce the risk. The talk also explores the importance of dementia-friendly environments, family support, and community awareness in improving quality of life for those affected. It offers a thoughtful reflection on how greater understanding and compassion can help build a more inclusive society.
