Prevention and management of mental disorders in older Australians

痴呆症、轻度认知障碍和抑郁症是澳大利亚老龄化人口在未来50年将面临的主要神经精神问题。随着神经科学的快速发展，我们需要一批年轻的研究人员，他们可以将这些知识转化为老年人更好的健康结果。新南威尔士大学（UNSW）的大脑和老龄化项目（B和AP）已经确定了潜在的未来领导者，他们将发展关键的研究主题，以改善澳大利亚老年人的心理健康。这笔赠款将使他们能够接受这项挑战。

Dementia, mild cognitive impairment and depression are the major neuropsychiatric problems that Australia’s ageing population will face in the next 50 years. With the rapid advances in neuroscience, we need a cohort of young researchers who can translate this knowledge into better health outcomes for older Australians. The Brain and Ageing Program (B and AP) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has identified potential future leaders who will develop key research themes to improve the mental health of older Australians. This grant will enable them to take on this challenge.
