American Diabetes Association Research Symposium: Diabetes and the Brain

摘要

The workshop brought together scientists and clinicians working in disparate areas such as metabolism, psychology, imaging, and neuroscience who were all united by a desire to understand how diabetes affects cerebral structure and function. In the opening lecture, Dr. Gerald Dienel reported anecdotally that early in his career it was unusual for basic neuroscientists to consider diabetes as an influence on cognitive functioning, much less a risk factor for neurodegenerative disease.
