Neuroscientist Lisa Mosconi, PhD currently has 11 grants\u2014including four from the NIH\u2014to study Alzheimers, menopause, and the female brain. Dr. Mosconi is an Associate Professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), and the Director of the Alzheimer\u2019s Prevention Program at WCM/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. The program includes the Women\u2019s Brain Initiative, the Alzheimer\u2019s Prevention Clinic, and the Alzheimer\u2019s Prevention Clinical Trials Unit.\xa0\nThere are many things to love about Dr. Mosconi and her work\u2014one, that she\u2019s focused on an underserved group, i.e. women, but also because her insights dramatically expand the way we\u2019ve been conditioned to understand these hormonal shifts in our lives. The picture she paints of the female brain is not only fascinating, but it\u2019s inspiring: As we age and move through stages, our brains continually remodel, becoming leaner, meaner, and more empathic. The female brain is\u2026formidable. There are also many things we can do to make these turbulent transitions slightly smoother sailing, which we dive into throughout our conversation. Let\u2019s turn to it now.\n\nMORE FROM LISA MOSCONI, PhD:\nThe Menopause Brain: New Science Empowers Women to Navigate the Pivotal Transition with Knowledge and Power\nThe XX Brain: The Groundbreaking Science Empowering Women to Maximize Cognitive Health and Prevent Alzheimer\u2019s Disease\nBrain Food: The Surprising Science of Eating for Cognitive Power\nLisa\u2019s Website\nFollow Lisa on Instagram\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
