November 5, 2018
3:30 p.m. - 4:30p.m. PST
Session Description
The aging of populations around the world has escalated the need to identify effective strategies to prevent, treat, and manage diseases such as vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Vascular dementia refers to a decline in thinking skills resulting from impaired blood flow to the brain. New research sheds light on the relationship between white matter inflammation, cardiovascular exercise, biomarkers, and vascular dementia. This opens doors to further discovery in understanding the process of neurodegeneration and potentially allows for early interventions.
