This project will investigate the role of the pre-frontal cortex in cognitive ageing and dementia. New neuroimaging techniques will be used to precisely measure this cerebral structure in a large ageing cohort The new brain measures will be used to identify risk and protective factors of cognitive ageing and dementia. This project is highly significant because it will contribute to the identification of at risk individuals and guide future intervention and clinical studies.

这个项目将调查前额叶皮质在认知老化和痴呆症中的作用。新的神经成像技术将被用来在一个大规模的老龄化队列中精确地测量这种大脑结构。新的大脑测量将被用来识别认知老化和痴呆症的风险和保护因素。该项目具有非常重要的意义，因为它将有助于识别高危个体，并指导未来的干预和临床研究。
