Rethinking the link between Alzheimer's and aging | Courtney Glavis-Bloom | TEDxSanDiego

Why does aging dramatically increase the risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and yet, not everyone is equally affected? We seek to understand the age-related biological changes that distinguish between those who maintain cognitive resilience and those who succumb to decline, paving the way for groundbreaking preventative measures and cures for Alzheimer’s Disease. We are seeking answers that could transform the future of aging and cognitive health. @cglavisbloom,   / courtney-glavis-bloom-265b431  ,   / cglavisbloom  , @courtneygb

Dr. Courtney Glavis-Bloom, a neuroscientist at the Salk Institute, conducts groundbreaking research on the neurobiological changes that occur with aging, and their link to cognitive decline and resilience. She leverages nearly two decades of experience from roles spanning both industry and academia to uncover novel approaches for intervention by utilizing non-human primate models. Her educational foundation includes a BA in Cognitive Science from Yale and a PhD in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior from Emory. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
