Over the weekend, I went to Baltimore and saw for the first time the BODY  exhibit.  This is the amazing display of 200 real human specimens that have been showcased to show everyone else what the human body is made up of-all preserved through a
remarkable process called Plastination.  The exhibit is called Body Works & The BRAIN– Our Three Pound Gem features the
latest neuroscience findings on brain development and function; brain

disease and disorders; and brain performance and improvement. There was a section dedicated to Alzheimers and the brain that stood out for me.  It compared a healthy brain to a brain with Alzheimers.  In the Alz. brain it has sections in the memory and language area of the brain that have shrunk.  It was a visible way for me to see what people with Alzheimers struggle with.   I highly recommend those who are caretakers or have family members with this disease check out this exhibit.  It will help you understand on a different level what your loved one is going through.  Check out their website to see when the exhibit will be in your area. - www.bodyworlds.com
