Monthly talk about brain health and research
Bonn, September 15, 2025. On the occasion of the “Dementia Awareness Week” in Germany, DZNE is launching a new monthly podcast with radio and TV host Marco Schreyl starting September 23.
In this podcast, Marco Schreyl talks to experts from science and practice – and to people who are affected (either directly or indirectly) by dementia or other neurodegenerative diseases. The podcast covers developments in research, treatment options, the situation of relatives – and the question of what you can do yourself to keep your brain healthy. The focus is on dementias such as Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases in which neurons are damaged as a result of neurodegeneration. The title of the podcast “90 Milliarden” (90 billion) refers to the number of neurons in the human brain: Current estimates put their number at up to 90 billion – or perhaps even more.
For more information about the podcast, please refer to the German version of this press release.
