  1. Thinking, Moving, Feeling Common underlying mechanisms? 4th Annual Bedside to Bench conference R13 AG028320 John A. Hartford Foundation American Geriatrics Society

  2. Special Thanks • Planning committee Lew Lipsitz Susan Nayfield Joe Verghese Mike Zigmond • AGS coordinator Christine Campanelli

  3. Welcome Travel Grant Awardees AGS and NIA have a special commitment to trainees and junior faculty

  4. The Bedside to Bench series • Knowledge flows in both directions: from bench to bedside and also from bedside to bench • Aging research can be fueled by clinical observations about important but understudied problems • Clinical and basic science investigators can work together

  5. Thinking Moving and Feeling • Disorders of cognition, movement and mood often coexist in older people • These aging problems are usually studied separately by investigators who do not interact

  6. Specific Aims 1. Present evidence for co-occurrence of disorders of cognition, movement and mood in the older adult. 2. Explore potential common causal pathways from multiple basic and clinical perspectives. 3. Propose methods to help discriminate common pathways from random co-occurrence and bi- or tri-directional secondary effects. 4. Discuss implications for clinical practice. 5. Identify knowledge gaps and future directions for multidisciplinary research.

  7. Agenda • Topical clusters • Brief discussion after each speaker • Topical discussion after each cluster • Moderators will keep us on schedule!!
