HISTORY

 

The MCI Symposium series was initiated in 2003 by the Wien Center for Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Disorders, at Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, under the direction of Ranjan Duara, MD. The purpose of the first and subsequent symposia have been to provide a forum where new information is provided and in-depth discussions can take place about the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions that result in cognitive impairment in the elderly. The symposia have featured national and international experts in the fields of neurology, neuropsychology, psychiatry, geriatrics, epidemiology, genetics, imaging and neuropathology. The topics discussed at these symposia have included the biology, early detection, prevention and treatment of conditions that result in cognitive impairment in the elderly.
