Honored to be invited to join the Faculty at NYU Steinhardt School of Nutrition and Food Studies. Let's start with a talk about my favorite topic: Neuro-Nutrition. Feel free to join! 411 Lafayette Street, 5th floor, at 2pm

Many studies including our own suggest that keeping the brain and body spry in middle age staves off later cognitive decline. A new paper suggests that contrary to some thinking, it may have nothing to do with changing the course of Alzheimer’s pathology. Find out what I think in my interview for Reuters Health and AlzForum.

Expertly crafted assay on brain health and Alzheimer's prevention, featuring our research on nutrition, featured in Psychology Today. Read more here.

I had a great experience sharing our findings on brain nutrition at the annual reThink Food conference sponsored by the Culinary Institute of America in partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Thank you for having me.

Very honored that our interview on brain nutrition made the cover page. Drawing on swiftly evolving insights into how the brain ages, scientists bet that memory loss can be not only delayed but, at least in its early stages, stopped in its tracks. And the critical tools turn out to be appetizingly low-tech. Read more here.

Years ago, I had the privilege of designing and developing the so-called HipMask software with my former colleagues at NYU. That was quite an experience. Our program is now being routinely used by the Alzheimer's disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) to sample hippocampal metabolism on thousands on brain scans, to support the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's in people at risk. 

Honored to be interviewed for a documentary film from NYU Tisch documenting a young woman attempt the "10K Challenge." This doesn't relate to someone running a 10k, however, but instead consists of a healthy and active person consuming 10,000 calories in a 24 hour period.  This "challenge" is very prominent in the bodybuilder and weightlifting community. Looking at the 10k through a scientific lens, the director Mar-Walker Rippe explores the effects of an uncharacteristic surplus of nutrients on human behavior.

Dr. Mosconi's gives an inspiring talk at the Advancing Wellness Series at the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Lab. This lecture focused on the role of nature (genes) vs. nurture (lifestyle), and on biochemical individuality, as dementia-risk modulators, with an emphasis on brain imaging findings in the preclinical phase of AD. Such knowledge is critical prior to implementing lifestyle and dietary recommendations for prevention and treatment of disease. Watch her talk on Nutritional Medicine and bio-individuality in the prevention of Alzheimer's here. 

So honored to participate in the Bread Head documentary, a new film that explores the impact of our diets and lifestyles on brain health. With no known cure for Alzheimer's, accomplished filmmaker Max Lugavere is raising awareness about prevention.
