Health Matters 2024: Brain Power - How Science Is Revolutionizing Cognitive Health

We’re living in a neuroscience revolution, with more ways to detect and treat disorders of the brain than was imaginable just a few decades ago. Hear from Dr. Longo, a leading expert in the research and treatment of neurological conditions, about the work being done at Stanford to transform the field and offer hope to the millions of people suffering from cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative conditions. From novel blood tests and brain imaging approaches to emerging treatments, Dr. Longo will explain the ways he and his fellow scientists are working to detect problems earlier, create strategies to delay onset of cognitive loss, reverse impairment once it begins, and increase brain resiliency for all people. He’ll also offer information you can use, starting now, to help protect your own brain health far into the future.
