Study results suggest that cognitive health in later life is in part the product of lifetime exposure to cognitive enrichment: hubs.la/Q044rGvy0 #NeuroTwitter @andreazammit @alifkapasi1

In our new study @rushalzheimers @neurology we created a person-specific cognitive resilience index based on the aggregation of 52 cortical proteins. Index was a/w slower cognitive & motor decline, less odds of MCI/AD dementia & w less AD pathology. n.neurology.org/content/earl…

Via @GreenJournal: Study by @andreazammit @rushalzheimers et al reported that certain cortical proteins associated with #CognitiveResilience may help slow cognitive and motor decline and offset the negative effects of #Alzheimers. bit.ly/3IVCvCD #NeuroTwitter
