WED 16 DECEMBER 2020 | 16.00-18.00 EET
Elders’ Brain
Dr Valia Rodriguez
Lecturer in Neuropyshiology, Aston University (UK)
Seminar Overview:
Ageing causes changes to the brain size, vasculature, and cognition. The brain shrinks with increasing age and there are changes at all levels from molecules to morphology. Incidence of stroke, white matter lesions, and dementia also rise with age, as does level of memory impairment and there are changes in levels of neurotransmitters and hormones. In this lecture we are going to discuss these changes and how they affect elders’ performance.
18.00-19.00 EET
Youthful Brains in Older Adults
Dr Alexandra Touroutoglou
Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School (USA)
Seminar Overview:
Decline in cognitive skills, especially in memory, is often viewed as part of “normal” aging. Yet some individuals “age better” than others. In this lecture we will examine the hypothesis if superagers (older individuals with youthful memory performance) would exhibit preserved neuroanatomy in key brain networks subserving memory.
