Does concurrent pharmacotherapy enhance behavioral interventions for mild cognitive impairment? Evidence from the HABIT program - Zhigang Xie, Dona Locke, Anni Shandera-Ochsner, Hanadi Hamadi… | Zhigang X.📢 New Publication Alert I'm pleased to share our latest publication: "Does Concurrent Pharmacotherapy Enhance Behavioral Interventions for Mild Cognitive Impairment? Evidence from the HABIT Program" https://lnkd.in/e4TfNi64 This study examines whether concurrent pharmacotherapy provides additional benefits when combined with multicomponent behavioral interventions for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The findings contribute to the ongoing discussion about optimizing treatment strategies to support cognitive health and quality of life.

#blackmenswellnessday #cognitivehealth #healthyaging #communityengagement #chilllab #ohiostate | Madison McGuireI’m grateful to have attended Black Men’s Wellness Day hosted by the African American Male Wellness Agency this past Saturday with the CHILL Lab! At the event, our team had the opportunity to connect with members of the community by offering free cognitive screenings and sharing information about ways to support memory and cognitive health across the aging process. One thing that stood out to me was how many people stopped by our tent to complete a cognitive screening and learn more about brain health. One conversation that stuck with me was with an attendee who asked whether memory changes were a normal part of aging or something he should be concerned about. It led to a meaningful conversation about the importance of being proactive and how almost half of dementia cases worldwide can be prevented or delayed. Seeing so many Black men and families engage with us was a powerful reminder that our community cares. Thus, creating accessible, welcoming spaces for these conversations can be an important step toward promoting healthier aging. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to speak with us, and to the organizers and CHILL Lab team for creating such a meaningful opportunity to connect, learn, and serve the Columbus community! #BlackMensWellnessDay #CognitiveHealth #HealthyAging #CommunityEngagement #CHILLLab #OhioState

#aaic2026 | Jeremy Grant, Ph.D.My top 3 takeaways from #AAIC2026: 1) It’s an exciting time to be in dementia risk reduction research. Between LatAm-FINGERS, FINGERS-NL, Africa-FINGERS, and the newly announced PROTECT-COG trial, it’s clear that we are entering a pivotal era of multidomain, culturally-tailored lifestyle interventions designed to promote brain health. 2) Our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia risk reduction is incomplete without an understanding of women’s brain health. 3) Digital cognitive assessment is no longer just a cool alternative to paper-and-pencil tests; it’s an essential part of a modern diagnostic workflow for early detection of cognitive decline. Most of all, I’m grateful for the opportunity to share AAIC For All with my family members living in London, particularly my uncle (who is living with dementia). Thank you to the Alzheimer's Association® for making these resources available!
