Arterial spin labelling Initiative in Dementia (AID) Abstract Dementia is a major clinical challenge with care costs approaching 1% of global GDP. Recent estimates suggest that delaying disease onset by 5 years would halve its prevalence. As new disease-modifying treatments will be specific to causative diseases, expensive and bear significant side effects, early diagnosis of dementia [...]
“Correlated neurodevelopmental of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in children with specific language disorders: Evidence with brain evoked potentials”
"Correlated neurodevelopmental of implicit-explicit learning mechanisms in children with specific language disorders: Evidence with brain evoked potentials" This project will study, for the first time, the functioning of procedural and declarative memory in children with Language Development Disorders (also known as Specific Language Impairment - SLI), in pre-school age.
