Session Description
Glucose is a crucial energy source needed for healthy brain functioning, and disruptions in its metabolism have been implicated in both diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. New research is investigating the link between these diseases. Researchers will discuss how diet and excess blood glucose influence Alzheimer’s pathology, as well as how our new understanding can lead to new therapies targeting glucose pathways.
