Goal

This seminar aims to give professionals/participants knowledge of the two constructs  of Cognitive reserve and Motor reserve and their role in cognitive efficiency in the particular population of the elderly.

Seminar content

• Knowledge of the construct of cognitive reserve, brain reserve, brain maintenance and their correlation with brain structure and brain metabolism.
• Correlation with an ageing population and drawing the trajectory of cognitive decline.
• construct of Motor reserve and correlation with cognitive efficiency in the elderly
