Welcome to kurkinengroup.com, an experimental work in progress of KURKINEN GROUP. We do research on Alzheimer’s disease, the most common neurodegenerative disease, a most devastating disorder of the human mind and the major cause of dementia. Alois Alzheimer called it “eine eigenartige Erkrankung der Hirnrinde” (a peculiar disease of the cortex).
We can think, live in the past, today or even tomorrow and beyond, if we want to, we can walk and talk, hear and see, feel happy and sad, and have a conscious awareness of all that because of synapses (interfaces) and what they do in connecting neurons.
kurkinengroup.com is an interface accessible to everyone interested in dementia, science and society. At kurkinengroup.com we think, therefore we are not robots.
Vive la différence. We are different at kurkinengroup.com because of you and what you do, and we are interested in what you do. At you can post your comments, concerns, ideas, stories, or whatever you have in mind, anything goes. Checkout to see the posts.
The road to treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease has been long and winding, 40 years of research and clinical studies, cul-de-sac with no end in sight. Tomorrow is a new day.
