The MULTI-PARTNER CONSORTIUM TO EXPAND DEMENTIA RESEARCH IN LATIN AMERICA is launched with the generous support of Alzheimer\u2019s Association, NIH\/National Institutes of Aging, Tau Consortium – Rainwater Charitable Foundation, and Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI). The Consortium aims to improve dementia characterization and to develop new advances in dementia treatment in diverse and underserved populations across Latin America\u2014including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru\u2014and the US. These advances will broaden the understanding of the genetic and environmental aspects of frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s disease. This extraordinary collaboration brings together experts in the fields of neurology, neuropsychology, geriatrics, psychiatry, neuroscience, and genetics from across Latin America, thus promoting harmonization of global strategies to treat and, ultimately, prevent dementia. Congrats to the team, including Agustin Ibanez, Alberto Avila-Funes, Ana Luisa Sosa, Andrea Slachevsky, Bruce Miller, Diana Matallana, Francisco Lopera, Jennifer Yokoyama, Kate Possin, Ken Kosik, Leonel Takada, Mar\u00eda Isabel Behrens, Nilton Custodio, Ricardo Nitrini, and Victor Valcour.<\/p>\n
