SUMMARY:Earlier menopause and brain health: What's the link?
DESCRIPTION:\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Jennifer Rabin\, PhD\, Sunnybrook Hospital\n\
 nDr. Jenny Rabin is a registered neuropsychologist\, an Assistant Professo
 r in the Department of Medicine (Neurology) at the University of Toronto\,
  and a Scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute. A major focus of Dr. Ra
 bin's work is on women's health and sex differences in two primary areas:\
 n\n 	Neuromodulation and Depression: As the Neuropsychology Lead at the Ha
 rquail Centre for Neuromodulation\, Dr. Rabin investigates the influence o
 f sex on the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTM
 S) in treating depression.\n 	Alzheimer’s Disease Risk Factors: Dr. Rabi
 n's research also explores hormonal\, genetic\, and lifestyle factors that
  increase women’s risk of Alzheimer’s disease\, leveraging multimodal 
 neuroimaging (e.g.\, MRI\, PET)\, neuropathological measures\, and sensiti
 ve cognitive assessments.\n\nDr. Rabin holds multiple external grants from
  CIHR\, NSERC\, the Alzheimer’s Society\, and the Alzheimer’s Associat
 ion. Her contributions to the field have been recognized with several awar
 ds\, including the Human Amyloid Imaging Young Investigator Award\, the De
 partment of Medicine Junior Investigator Award\, and the "Rising Star" des
 ignation by the Association for Psychological Science.\n\nTalk summary:\n\
 nDr. Rabin will present data from a series of studies that use advanced im
 aging techniques\, neuropathological examinations\, and cognitive assessme
 nts to investigate the set of factors contributing to the elevated risk of
  Alzheimer's disease in women. She will show findings that suggest earlier
  menopause\, combined with specific genetic predispositions\, vascular con
 ditions\, and lifestyle factors\, creates a "perfect storm" that accelerat
 es cognitive decline and Alzheimer's pathology in women. She will end by d
 iscussing how this research informs tailored prevention and treatment stra
 tegies to combat the disproportionate impact of Alzheimer's disease on wom
 en.\n\nAgenda:\n\n9-9:45 am PDT: Speaker presentation\n\n9:45-10:00 am PDT
 : Question and answer period\n\nRegister here
