| Annotation | In the fifth of this series of six articles on the brain and dementia care, the author looks at the way the brain processes emotional responses and assesses the impact of dementia. She focuses on the circuitry within the brain that is implicated in coordinating and controlling a person's emotional responses and the impact that dementia has on this circuitry. The evidence is reviewed to show why environmental and personal factors, as well as neurological, need to be considered in trying to understand the behaviour of a person with dementia. (RH). |
