Housed within the Wallenberg Center for Molecular Medicine, and Umeå center for Functional Brain Imaging our group seeks to explore the brain basis of cognitive decline in aging. Cognitive impairments impede the functioning of older people and create major individual and societal costs. Developing ways to preserve functioning in old age is thus of great importance.
