Resources used in our final video priject are as follows:

'What Is Alzheimer's Disease?'' Dir. David Shenk. Youtube. AboutAlzOrg, 26 Oct. 2010. Web. 26 Nov. 2011. .''' We used this resource for one quote in our project. "Plaques are formed when specific proteins in the neurons of cell membrane are formed differently. Meaning when proteins are formed, a mistake is made and fragments of the protein detach and eventually form with other detached fragments and compound on each other growing larger and eventually becoming a plaque buildup. " This information was used to show a visualization of how plaques are formed in the brain. This video was also used for one short clip of animation that we were unable to recreate. The inside of the neuron and breaking down of the structure was borrowed from this video for visualization purposes alone.

'Inside the Brain: Unraveling the Mystery of Alzheimer's Disease.'' Dir. Alzheimer's            Universal. Youtube. Alzheimer's Universal, 29 July 2010. Web. 26 Nov. 2011. .'''This video as well was used as a resource for vizualization purposes as well. As we were unable to recreate the animations, we borrowed a short animation and cited this video in our project. It was important because it gives a microscopic look into what happens when tangles are formed and what will happen to the neurons after these form.

'''Staff, Mayo Clinic. "Dementia: Risk Factors - MayoClinic.com." Mayo Clinic. 16 Apr. 2011. Web. 26 Nov. 2011. .''' This source above was used to provide some common risk factors for developing dementia. We used alcohol use, and high blood pressure as examples in our project. This website explores all demensions of dementia, in regards to causes, effects, risk factors and many more.

'''"Plaques and Tangles." American Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF): Alzheimer's     Disease, Macular Degeneration and Glaucoma. 26 Sept. 2011. Web. 27 Nov. 2011.      .''' This source above was used for gaining jsut a general knowledge of the topic. To give some insight on what causes the different forms of dementia. The website gives a brief explanation of how plaques and tangles attack the brains different areas.

'''"General Information." National Institue on Aging. Alzheimer's Disease Education & Referal Center, 8 Dec. 2010. Web. 27 Nov. 2011. .''' This source above being a govenmental site profided a lot of information and insight on dementia as a whole. It provided causes, risk factors, and medical prevention of dementia which is very limited.Most importantly in our project we used the statistic of 2.4-5.1 million people living with dementia today. This provides an insight on how detrimental this disesase is to the world.

'''"What Causes Alzheimer’s? | UCI MIND." UCI MIND - ''Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders''. University of California Irvine. Web. 27 Nov. 2011. .''' This source was useful because these are not just facts found on the internet but rather information that has been scientifically proven and easily researched on the university website. The quote “don’t fully understand what causes AD (Alzheimers Disease), but it is clear that it develops, because of a complex series of events that take place in the brain over a long period of time” was used in the project to show that while scientists are working diligently there is unfortunately a long way to go before understanding why somethings happen in the brain.

'''"FCA: Dementia with Lewy Bodies." Family Caregiver Alliance. National Center on        Caregiving, June 2010. Web. 28 Nov. 2011. .''' This source again was helpful to gain a general knowledge of dementia and one of its most common forms. It provided insight on testing used, preventative methods, and some information on the relation and different between Alzheimer's, Lewy Body, and Parkinsons disease.

'''Kamble, Pravin, and Hua Chen. "Use of Antipsychotics among Elderly Nursing Home       Residents with Dementia in the US." An Analysis of National Survery Data (2009): 1-8. EBSCOhost. Web. 25 Nov. 2011.''' This journal was used not in the presentation itself, but was used to give the group members a peek into some of the statistics involving dementia patients and how antipsychotic medications can affect the individuals.

'''Peters, Ruth. "The Prevention of Dementia." ''International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry'' (2008): 452-58. EBSCOhost. Web. 25 Nov. 2011.''' This journal was useful to us because it gave once again more information on preventative methods against dementia of various kinds.

'The Pharmacotherapy of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Demetia: A Cross Sectional Study in 18 Homes for the Eldely in Berlin'' 107.18 (2010). CINAHL Plus with Full Text. Web. 14 Nov. 2011.''' The source above was an article we had found online and decided it could be helpful to understanding dementia. The trouble with this project was the fact that dementia was so broad a term that to understand it we needed to explore all of its types. In doing so many of our sources were used to gain a "general knowledge" mainly because there was so much information to be learned about each type of dementia.

The youtube videos cited below are each used for the same purpose. To provide examples for how physical damage to the brain can cause dementia in an elderly person. These were very helpful to seeing how concussions may occur to individuals.

'Badr Hari vs Stefan Leko.'' Perf. Badr Hari and Stefan Leko. Youtube. Souli911, 04 Dec. 2009. Web. 03 Nov. 2011. .'''

'MMAPKO/ Rampage Jackson Insane Slam!'' Perf. Rampage Jackson and Ricardo Arona. Youtube. PureMMAKnockouts, 06 July 2011. Web. 03 Nov. 2011. .'''

Each of these sources were found on different dates as seen above, however they were compiled and put into this Wiki on November 27-28, 2011.
