I am pleased to invite you to attend the MiNDS Colloquium TODAY Thursday March 21st at 3:00 in MDCL 3020. Bring your coffee cup for coffee and cookies before the talk at 2:45.

Dr Carl Cotman is a professor of Neurology at the University of California in Irvine. He is the founding Director of the UC Irvine Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders. In 2008 Dr Cotman received a lifetime achievement award for his research on Alzheimer's disease at the 11th International Conference on Alzheimer's Disease in Chicago.

Dr Cotman's research focuses on understanding the mechanisms causing neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease and the development of interventions to promote successful aging, and to evaluate intervention strategies in elderly humans in collaboration with other investigators in the field. 

 

His talk will focus on the short-term and long-term effects of lifestyle-based interventions and the accompanying molecular changes in the aging brain.   

 

We look forward to seeing you all at the talk today.

 

Regards

 

Kathy
