During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Every 3 seconds, someone in the world develops dementia. Mid-life obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are modifiable risk factors for dementia, whereas higher education level and physical activity may be protective. In this talk, I will discuss when and how these risk and resilience factors affect the ageing brain, using multi-modal MRI to characterise brain structure, function and vascular health. I will describe findings from the Whitehall II Imaging Sub-study and the EU Lifebrain Project (“Healthy Minds: 0-100 years”), a large collaboration of 13 European neuroimaging studies.
