Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIA: Vascular Consequences of TBI and Implications for Aging

November 16, 2023
Evidence suggests that TBI can progress to accelerated aging and Alzheimer’s Disease. Vascular perturbations in TBI and AD also share similarities. Using a range of methods, we highlight vascular structure function alterations in TBI and AD.

Cognition & Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIAs: Roles of subcortical neural dysfunction in AD

November 9, 2023
Speakers present that substantia nigra integrity associates with poorer recognition memory for novel stimuli in early AD and that reduced LC-transentorhinal cortex connections in DTI relate to higher CSF tau burden in healthy older individuals.

Biofluid Based Biomarkers in Neuropsychiatric Syndromes - The Diagnostic Challenges Webinar

November 8, 2023
Biomarkers and behavioural features may signal dementia onset or differential diagnosis between dementia syndromes, though sensitivity and specificity are highly variable. We address such diagnostic challenges in this interactive webinar.
