The Effects of Blood Pressure on Cognitive Function in the Elderly
This is a very powerful study both for their novel use of mechanistic but also their preliminary implication of specific brain regions. And again they've actually created a list of as Ernesto mentioned of specific parts of the brain that can now be investigated by other researchers or probably primarily an attempt at replication would be made. So together with the data that was discussed in more detail by Jamie we believe that future studies that clarify pathways and perhaps treatments that affect these brain structures will help fight this terrible challenge of cognitive decline and dementia in the elderly. Goodbye all. Bye bye.
