AdventHealth International Brain Health Symposium 2025

This symposium will create a forum for open dialogue, discussion, and debate about the etiology, progression, and therapeutic approaches for a better understanding of cognitive aging. This event will create a lively, respectful atmosphere, engaging scientists, and clinicians around the topics of brain health in late adulthood featuring didactic presentations and poster sessions led by experts in neuroscience, psychology, and related fields. Specifically, this event focuses on current advances in etiology, biomarker assessment, treatment, and prevention of cognitive aging, such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Additional topics of the symposium include cutting edge technology for measurement approaches, cognitive reserve, and maintaining brain health into late life.
The AdventHealth International Brain Health Symposium 2025 is best for neurologists, neuroscientists, geriatricians, psychologists, family physicians, and allied health professionals who want evidence‑based updates on cognitive aging, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and brain health research. It is designed for clinicians and researchers seeking interdisciplinary collaboration and practical strategies to improve diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of neurodegenerative conditions.
