- The Tangled Neuron started as a personal site chronicling my search for answers on my father's dementia. Although it's too late to help Dad, I hope to provide the information other people with memory loss, their families and caregivers need to make decisions, identify resources and find new ways to live with memory loss. Inclusion of links, advertisements and content generated by others does not imply endorsement. Remember, nothing on this site is meant as a substitute for professional medical advice or for using your own judgment!
Thanks for sharing Mona. the correlation of recurrent brain injuries with elevated risk for dementia is so intuitive that it's amazing it's taken so long for pro sports to act.

Danny, we saw Invictus last night. I can only imagine the state of rugby players' brains!
