The Cognitive Aging Summit III was convened on April 6-7, 2017, by the National Institute on Aging and made possible by the McKnight Brain Research Foundation through a generous grant to the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. This Summit, held at Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center North Bethesda, MD, brought together experts in a variety of research fields to discuss the most cutting edge advances in our understanding of age-related brain and cognitive changes, with a focus on resilience and reserve.
Summit III builds upon research directions identified through the two previous Summits (2007, 2010). During the Summit, the research advances and resources developed through the four McKnight Brain Institutes were highlighted. The long-term objective of the Summit is to improve cognitive health by continuing to raise awareness of the importance of research in cognitive aging and the factors that may influence resilience to impairment and the development of cognitive reserve.
