Kerala University has embarked on a drive to create awareness among school students on the increasing prevalence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in the State.
It also aims to shed light on the neurobiology research that is under way into the contributing factors of neurodegenerative disorders including the role of the gut-brain axis and incompatible food choices.
Spearheaded by the Biochemistry department in association with the Commerce department at the university, the programme also aims at imparting knowledge in caring for a family member afflicted with Azheimer’s in view of the difficulty faced by several families who could not afford trained caregivers.
