Initiatives
-
Determine if there are individuals especially resistant to brain aging as evidenced by a long cognitive heath span (CHS), Identify circumscribed quantitative aging phenotypes that best predict CHS and Establish which neuropathologic signs of brain aging best explain changes in the quantitative phenotypes associated with CHS.
