Event Description

This course will investigate the complex biological, clinical, and societal dimensions of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Through a series of lectures, students will explore the cellular foundations of network abnormalities, covering topics such as functional genomics, autophagy, and proteasome dysfunction, along with the roles of the microbiome, inflammation, and glial cells in neurodegeneration. The course also adopts a clinical perspective by exploring advanced neuroimaging techniques, emerging therapeutic interventions, and the impact of cerebrovascular health in vascular dementia. The curriculum concludes with a focus on caregiving and the behavioral and psychological symptoms associated of dementia.
