Education, the brain and dementia: Neuroprotection or compensation? (2010)
Journal Article

The potential protective role of education for dementia is an area of major interest. Almost all older people have some pathology in their brain at death but have not necessarily died with dementia. We have explored these two observations in large po... Read More about Education, the brain and dementia: Neuroprotection or compensation?.
