Our population is living longer and while this should be celebrated it brings with it the risk of additional health problems due to age being a major risk factor for a range of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. Professor Mark Yeoman will discuss how work using the pond snail has increased our understanding of the processes that allow learning and long-term memory formation and how these are affected by the natural ageing process. I will discuss some common medicines that can reverse age-related memory loss in snails, their proposed mechanism of action and the effects of these drugs at alleviating the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
Book your place here for 2 October
