A new study from UCLA found, “Alzheimer’s doesn’t strike at random,” but in fact, there may be four distinct roadways or patterns that funnel people toward Alzheimer’s.

According to Dr. Jonathan Fellows, head of the MIND Alzheimer’s Disease & Memory Disorder Center, "No matter which pathway may indicate the course of disease, the following lifestyle maneuvers are paramount in preventing dementia onset and progression."

1. Exercise regularly — Aim for 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic exercise, as well as strength and resistance training twice a week.
2. Follow a Mediterranean or MIND diet – Rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
3. Protect your heart health – Control blood pressure and maintain/optimize strong cardiovascular wellness.
4. Stay mentally and socially active – Keep your brain stimulated and connected.
Small, consistent changes today can have a big impact on brain health tomorrow.

What You Need to Know About MRI at MIND

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a safe, non-invasive, and radiation-free way to capture detailed images of the body. While MIND specializes in neurological care, we offer MRI services for a wide range of clinical needs—not just brain scans.

No harmful radiation – MRIs use magnets and radio waves, not X-rays
No pain or downtime – Most scans are completed in under an hour
Trusted technology – Used safely for decades on millions of patients

Whether you’re being evaluated for migraines, memory loss, MS, or even joint pain, spine issues, or injury, our team ensures every scan is performed with your safety and comfort in mind.

Have a referral for an MRI? You don’t need to be a neurology patient to schedule your scan at MIND. We offer two wide-bore MRI machines at our Farmington Hills imaging suite, with some evening and Saturday appointments available.

Visit mindonline.com/diagnostics or call (248) 553 0010 to learn more or to schedule an on-site MRI.

Diagnostics & Imaging Convenient. Patient-oriented. Supervised by board-certified neurologists. Welcome to the MIND Diagnostic & Imaging Center. In order to accurately diagnose, understand and manage a patient’s condition, neurologists often must use special diagnostic and imaging tools. MIND is p...
