On Thursday, February 5, at 6.30 pm, Maria Borrell, a researcher at CIBERCV in the Molecular and Therapeutic Pathology of Atherothrombotic and Ischaemic Diseases Group at IR Sant Pau, will give a talk at Biblioteca Sagrada Familia entitled “If blood cholesterol reaches the brain, it’s a bad sign. Why?”.
Although we have a fairly good understanding of the mechanisms that regulate blood cholesterol, many questions remain unanswered regarding how it is regulated in the brain. This is particularly relevant when we consider that around 20% of the body’s total cholesterol is found in the head, where it is essential for neuronal function.
In this talk, we will explore the link between abnormal cholesterol levels and cognitive decline, and discover how advances in research are helping us to better understand these processes.
