Project Description:

Our aims are to 1) establish the unique gait-related EEG activation as the neural signature and predictor of decline in CdF during the preclinical dementia period; 2) determine associations between dementia-related pathologies and incidence of neural signature of CdF; and 3) establish associations between a dementia risk factor, physical inactivity, and the neural signature of CdF.
