forefront of new research focusing on the role of the
cerebrovasculature in the pathogenesis and evolution of Alzheimer's

There are two central questions for discussion at this conference. The
timing of cerebrovascular changes versus clinical onset of Alzheimer's
disease and the temporal relationship of amyloaid deposition in
vessels and cerebral tissue.
