1st International Conference on Cognitive Reserve in the Dementias (ResDem)
In-Person Event
Nov 24 - 25, 2017
Munich, Bayern, DE
OVERVIEW
1st International Conference on Cognitive Reserve in the Dementias (ResDem) is organized by Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) and would be held during Nov 24 - 25, 2017 at Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Munich, Bayern, Germany.
Research on protective factors in different dementias has received growing attention during the last years. A key finding was that higher levels of life experiences such as cognitive, social and physical activities are associated with a later onset and decreased risk of dementia. The brain mechanisms underlying these protective effects yet remain largely unknown, even though it is crucial to further understand these mechanisms so that this knowledge can be used to develop effective therapies and preventive strategies.
ResDem is the first conference entirely dedicated to reserve and its underlying mechanisms. Leading experts from different scientific areas, including imaging, genetics, intervention and preclinical research, will be brought together. Reserve mechanisms across different types of neurodegenerative diseases will be discussed.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
