Cognitive reserve/resilience is becoming the focus in the field of aging, Alzheimer’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease-related disorders. In humans, educational attainment, a form of environmental enrichment, provides resilience to age-related cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease. While it is known that environmental enrichment preserves cognition in the senescent brain, the brain structures and molecular mechanisms participating are only beginning to emerge.Corinna Burger is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her research program focuses on studying the molecular biology of learning and memory, and genetic mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative disorders. She is widely regarded as a leader and expert in molecular and cellular mechanisms of age-related cognitive decline, as well as a pioneer in viral vector applications to neuroscience.
