Degenerative diseases like dementia are being thoroughly studied to determine causes and develop treatments. HealthMaker Bruce Miller, MD discusses the current state of therapies in this video.

Bruce Miller, MD, is a professor of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco. He directs the UCSF dementia center where patients in the San Francisco Bay Area receive comprehensive clinical evaluations.
