The first part will focus on healthy aging and will deal with:
- principal theories and models
- changes in specific cognitive functions (e.g., memory, executive functions) and in the neural mechanisms associated with such functions
- problems occurring with advanced age (e.g., anxiety, depression, insomnia, changes in personality traits)
- cognitive reserve and prevention of cognitive decline
- role of physical activity and diet in preventing cognitive decline
The second part of the course will deal with different aspects of pathological aging, which are the characterization, assessment and intervention of diseases, such as:
- Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)
- Dementias (e.g., Alzheimer, Parkinson, fronto-temporal)
- Cognitive impairment associated with cerebrovascular pathologies
The third part will involve the study and practice of the most commonly used neuropsychological tools and of the guidelines designed for the evaluation, differential diagnosis and the management of the diseases associated with aging.
