Health Policy PIA: Detect Early, Treat Better, Live Better? Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease — From Technology to Policy

Recorded on May 5, 2021
Recent technological advances offer tremendous possibility to shift the detection of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias to its early stages. This webinar will provide an overview of novel technologies and emerging biomarkers for early disease detection. The panelists will also address issues around the value of early detection and practical considerations from the clinical perspective and health policy perspective.

Speakers:
Michelle M. Mielke, Gill Livingston and Darius Lakdawalla

 

Reserve, Resilience and Protective Factors PIA: Resistance Against AD Pathologies: The Role of Sleep, Exercise and Stress Management

Recorded on May 5, 2021
The focus of this webinar is to understand the role of three lifestyle factors (sleep, exercise and stress) in lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. We have invited three expert panelists who will discuss the mechanisms through which these lifestyle factors can provide resistance to AD pathologies and discuss cutting-edge research in their areas of investigation.

Speakers:
Alessandro Bartolomucci, Bryce Mander and Henriette van Praag

 

Electrophysiology and Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIAs: EEG and Neuroimaging Methods to Probe Ascending Neuromodulatory Systems in Alzheimer's Disease

Recorded on May 4, 2021
During this webinar, we will share and discuss methodologies at the intersection between electrophysiology and functional imaging that are widely used in neuropsychiatric research and bear major potential also in the Alzheimer’s field. These methods are highly promising but still little used in Alzheimer’s research so that we want to foster exchange and inspiration across the disciplines.

Speakers:
Lea Grinberg, Christoph Mulert and Claudio Babilioni

Nutrition, Metabolism and Dementia PIA: Can We Combat Chronic Inflammation Through Nutrition to Decrease the Risk for Dementia?

May 18, 2021
10 a.m. CT

A healthy diet has been hypothesized to protect against chronic inflammation, which leads to the development of chronic diseases including dementia. This webinar will focus on findings from observational and intervention studies which investigated the anti- and pro- inflammatory potential of nutrients, foods, food groups, dietary indices and dietary patterns within the context of dementia research.

Speaker:
Debora Melo van Lent

Nonpharmacological Interventions PIA: The Forgotten Utility of Case Studies: Examining Non-Pharmacologic Interventions in Individuals with ADRD (Part 3: Managing Dementia Related Visual Impairment)

May 19, 2021
10:30 a.m.

Keir Yong will speak on developing non-pharmacological support for individuals living with dementia-related visual impairment, in particular posterior cortical atrophy (occasionally referred to as ""visual-spatial Alzheimer’s disease""). This presentation will feature cases who have advanced understanding of disabling visual and space perception deficits arising from neurodegenerative disease, and methodological considerations regarding informing and evaluating compensatory strategies supporting patient autonomy.

Part 1 was recorded on Oct. 27, 2020. Part 2 was recorded on Feb. 24, 2021. Both webinars are available on demand.

Speaker:
Keir Yong

DSAD PIA: Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease Development in the Context of Down Syndrome; Using Preclinical Models

May 26, 2021
11 a.m. CT

Individuals who have Down syndrome have a greatly elevated risk of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. We use Down syndrome mouse models to understand the combination of chromosome 21 genes that modulate aspects of AD pathogenesis when in three-copies, including the formation and accumulation of amyloid-β.

Speaker:
Frances Wiseman
