Brain Training vs. Cognitive Decline: What Five Years Revealed
In this episode, Dr. Sylvie Belleville talks through the latest results from a trial involving older adults experiencing mild cognitive impairment. This work emphasizes how targeted cognitive training and memory interventions could potentially slow the progression of mild cognitive impairment and may help sustain long-term cognitive function. The trial results offer compelling perspectives on non-pharmacological interventions for delaying the onset of dementia in individuals experiencing early cognitive changes.Special thanks to ISTAART Ambassador James Brady for his contributions to the production of this episode of ISTAART Voices.LinksShow page: alz.org/ISTAARTpodcastISTAART: alz.org/ISTAART Featured paper: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dad2.12626/utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=IVS1_SB&utm_id=ISTAARTVoicesTAARTVoices Dr. Sylvie Belleville: https://recherche.umontreal.ca/english/our-researchers/professors-directory/researcher/is/in14272/Podcast CMEs: www.alz.org/ISTAARTpodcastCMEAlzheimer's Association International Conference® 2025 (AAIC®): alz.org/AAICAlzheimer's Association Scientific Meetings: alz.org/scientificmeetings Alzheimer's Association Journal Family: alz.org/journals Social: #ISTAART @ISTAART The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect those of the Alzheimer's Association.

Hearing, Conversation, and Cognitive Decline: Tracing Complex Connections
Hearing loss increases the risk of developing dementia in later years. In this episode of ISTAART Voices, researchers Dr. Joshua Stevenson-Hoare and Dr. Kouki Tomida dissect the ways in which hearing loss may accelerate dementia progression. Through studies conducted in Germany and Japan, their works explore how early hearing difficulties and reduced conversation could signal future cognitive decline, offering compelling perspectives on early intervention and prevention strategies.Special thanks to ISTAART Ambassador Michelle Chiu for her contributions to the production of this episode of ISTAART Voices.LinksShow page: alz.org/ISTAARTpodcast ISTAART: alz.org/ISTAART Featured paper 1: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dad2.12586/utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=IVS1_KT&utm_id=ISTAARTVoices Featured paper 2: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dad2.12624/utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=IVS1_JSH&utm_id=ISTAARTVoicesDr. Kouki Tomida: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7397-8224 Dr. Joshua Stevenson-Hoare: https://www.dkfz.de/en/clinical-epidemiology-and-aging-research/our-team Podcast CMEs: www.alz.org/ISTAARTpodcastCMEAlzheimer's Association International Conference® 2025 (AAIC®): alz.org/AAICAlzheimer's Association Scientific Meetings: alz.org/scientificmeetings Alzheimer's Association Journal Family: alz.org/journals Social: #ISTAART @ISTAART The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the guests and do not necessarily reflect those of the Alzheimer's Association.
