SUMMARY:Cannabis and Alzheimer's: Exploring New Potential Treatments for Agitation
DESCRIPTION:Summary: \nThis webinar will review the different ways that substances from the cannabis plant might help to manage dementia and related responsive behaviours\, such as agitation\, in people living with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have been studying cannabinoids\, the active parts of cannabis\, to see if they can reduce agitation\, a common and distressing symptom. While non-drug approaches are usually tried first\, medications are sometimes needed. However\, current options can have serious side effects. Cannabinoids may work differently and could offer a safer alternative\, but more research is needed. \nThe session will also highlight a new study testing whether a cannabinoid called cannabidiol (CBD) can help reduce agitation in people living with Alzheimer’s disease. This study builds on earlier research using a similar cannabis-based substance called nabilone\, which showed promising results. The new study will help researchers understand whether CBD can offer similar benefits\, with fewer side effects\, and how it might be used in future dementia care. \nThis webinar is free to attend and is presented in plain language. You will have the opportunity have questions. \nFor more information on the study\, visit:  https://tdn.alz.to/research_study/calm-it/  \nThis webinar is presented in partnership with the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance \n  \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Krista Lanctôt is a senior scientist at the Hurvitz Brain Sciences Research Program and the director of the Geriatric Psychopharmacology Research Group at Sunnybrook Research Institute. She holds the Bernick Chair in Geriatric Psychopharmacology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto. She is also the research co-director of the Department of Psychiatry at Sunnybrook. At the University of Toronto\, she is a professor in the Department of Psychiatry\, where she is also the Vice Chair\, Basic and Clinical Sciences\, and a Professor of Pharmacology and Toxicology. \nHer research focuses on understanding mood\, thinking\, and behaviour changes that happen in illnesses like dementia and stroke. She studies the brain chemicals and body processes that cause these symptoms and looks for new treatments\, including medicines\, brain stimulation\, exercise\, and diet. Her goal is to find safer and more precise ways to treat these symptoms and improve care for people living with dementia and other brain disorders.

SUMMARY:Brain Stimulation and Dementia: Exploring the Current Landscape Through Diverse Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:To mark Alzheimer’s Awareness Month\, the Alzheimer Society of Toronto\, the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health\, and the Toronto Dementia Research Alliance have partnered to bring you a virtual panel exploring innovative approaches in Alzheimer’s disease research and care. \nSummary: \nCurrent medications for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias have limited effectiveness and often come with significant side effects\, highlighting the urgent need for new and safer treatments. One promising area of research is brain stimulation\, which uses electrical or magnetic signals to influence brain activity. These treatments can be done invasively\, with small electrodes placed inside the brain\, or non-invasively\, with electrodes on the scalp. Already approved for treating conditions like depression\, brain stimulation shows promise in early studies for reducing symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other dementias\, as well as for slowing cognitive decline and preventing progression to dementia. \nDuring this panel\, we will: \n\nProvide an overview of brain stimulation therapies\, including different types\, their applications\, risks\, benefits\, and limitations\nShare insights into the latest research and opportunities for participation\nHighlight the perspective of a research participant who has firsthand experience with brain stimulation\n\nThis event will be presented in plain language\, and include opportunities to engage with the panelists and have your questions answered. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDr. Mina Mirjalili  is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). She completed her PhD in computational neuroscience at the University of Toronto. With a background in electrical engineering and computer modelling\, Dr. Mirjalili’s research focuses on creating new treatments to improve cognitive function in people with mental health conditions. Her work involves developing personalized brain stimulation techniques and studying how the brain works during thinking processes. \n  \nDr. Luca Pisterzi is the Vice President of Research\, Programs\, and Evidence at the Alzheimer Society of Canada. He is also a member of Canada’s Ministerial Advisory Board on Dementia. Dr. Pisterzi holds a PhD in Molecular Pharmacology and Biophysics and a Global Executive MBA in Healthcare and the Life Sciences. Having spent the last decade in various roles related to Alzheimer’s and dementia research\, he focuses on turning research findings into practical solutions that improve the quality of life for those affected. \n  \nVince Pancuska has valuable perspectives and insights through his lived experience with mild cognitive impairment\, caregiving for someone with dementia\, and participation in clinical research studies at CAMH.
