Neurodegenerative and Neurocognitive Disorders

Neurocognitive disorders are a major global health concern. Given the current lack of disease-modifying treatments and the ageing of our population, early detection and finding ways to delay or prevent the clinical onset of neurocognitive disorders are of great importance from a clinical and public health perspective.
