Join us for the second AD/PD™ Live Journal Club webinar session discussing brain atrophy and the ATN classification in Alzheimer´s disease. During the session, Dr Ruitenberg will introduce Dr Cedres and their latest publication ”Brain Atrophy Subtypes and the ATN Classification Scheme in Alzheimer’s Disease“ (Neurodegenerative Diseases, Karger Publishers).
This initiative is made possible thanks to the help of Karger Publishers and the Neurodegenerative Diseases journal.
The author´s paper will be available free of access to all journal attendees at the following address:
Learning Objectives
