The concept of a Cognitive Footprint

In 2015 Professor Rossor from University College London and Professor Martin Knapp from The London School of Economics published a paper in the Lancet entitled ‘Can we model a cognitive footprint of interventions and policies to help to meet the global challenge of dementia?’

In this podcast Piers Kotting talks to Professor Rossor and Professor Parashkev Nachev exploring the concept of a ‘Cognitive Footprint’ and getting behind the follow-up research has already undertaken in this field, and plans for the new work recently funded by the Health Foundation.
