This year's theme will be "Cognitive Reserve", and will focus on variables
that moderate the influence of neuropathology on cognitive function. The
data will come from the Memory and Aging Project from the Rush University
Alzheimer's Disease Center. This is a longitudinal study that recruits
educationally and culturally diverse elders who are non-demented at the time
of enrollment and agree to annual evaluation and brain autopsy. The data are
from over 1200 individuals who have been followed for up to 12 years.
Available data include results from a detailed neuropsychological test
battery, with neuropathology results for over 200 cases. In addition, there
is extensive data on life experience including exposure to cognitively
stimulating activities that might protect against effects cognitive effects
of neuropathology and exposure to resources that would promote cognitive
development. The principal investigator of the study, David Bennett, M.D.,
will attend the meeting in Friday Harbor, as will Yaakov Stern, PhD and
other experts on cognitive reserve and aging.
