Geriatric neurology focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and management of neurological conditions affecting the elderly. With aging populations worldwide, disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and peripheral neuropathies have become major public-health challenges. This field emphasizes maintaining cognitive function, mobility, and independence in older adults.

The Geriatric Neurology session examines how aging impacts brain structure, vascular function, and neural repair mechanisms. Researchers explore neuroplasticity decline, synaptic loss, and the role of oxidative stress in age-related degeneration. Understanding these changes is crucial for developing strategies that delay or mitigate cognitive and motor decline.

At the Geriatric Neurology Conference, experts discuss the latest advances in diagnostics, preventive neurology, and rehabilitation. Topics include early detection of neurodegenerative disease, exercise-induced neuroprotection, and polypharmacy management. Cutting-edge imaging and biomarker studies reveal mechanisms of cerebral small-vessel disease and white-matter aging.

This session attracts neurologists, geriatricians, and researchers seeking integrated care models for older adults. It also highlights the growing field of geroscience—studying how molecular and cellular aging processes influence neurological disease onset.

Findings from Neurobiology of Aging research continue to enhance geriatric care, linking preventive strategies with improved brain health and quality of life.
