7th Annual Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) Symposium: Focus on Early Alzheimer’s Disease and Non-Alzheimer’s Prodromal Dementia
In the past decade, the concept of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has provided a way of identifying people at elevated risk of developing Alzheimer disease. MCI has been difficult to put in practice at times, but all the same has opened a window of opportunity for early detection, intervention, and some clinical trials. At the 7th Annual MCI Symposium, held 27-28 March in downtown Miami, Florida, 24 speakers covered the waterfront on this topic. Nineteen of the speakers graciously made their slides available to the Alzforum community, enabling writer Pat McCaffrey to bring you a comprehensive virtual conference report.

Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease: Promoting Interdisciplinary and International Communication and Collaboration (2nd U.S.-Israeli-Palestinian Brain Conference)
Computational neuroscientists, molecular biologists, biotechnologists, doctors, and students from Israel, the United States, Europe, and the Palestinian territories in the West Bank convened on 25-28 May, 2008, in Jerusalem, Israel, to present and discuss advances in early detection of AD. We post here a summary for the conference with links to the speakers' powerpoint presentations.
