Research shows that a new drug helps to preserve brain cells for a time after stroke. University of Calgary-led international study reports promising results for neuroprotection by combining endovascular therapy with nerinetide.  In February 2020, the University of Calgary released the results of a multi-center,...

Pacific Neuroscience Institute brain health specialists are striving to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, which is the most common type of dementia. In the United States, about 5.5 million people are affected by Alzheimer's disease, and the worldwide prevalence is estimated to be as high as 24 million. Watch this video to find out about research and clinical trials at the Pacific Brain Health Center at PNI.

At the Pacific Brain Health Center in Santa Monica, our experts treat a wide range of neurocognitive conditions that affect the brain such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. As these are not curable at this time, clinical trials and research are necessary to develop new and more effective ways of halting and even reversing cognitive decline in these diseases.
