Emotional issues, language difficulties, and a lack of motivation are all prevalent signs. The consciousness of a person is frequently unaffected. Dementia causes a shift in a person's normal mental functioning as well as a faster decrease than one would expect from age. These disorders have a tremendous impact on the carers of those who are afflicted.
Track-2: Alzheimers Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD), generally known as Alzheimer's, is a progressive neurological disease that begins slowly and worsens with time. It is responsible for 60 to 70% of dementia cases. The most prevalent early sign is short-term memory loss, or the inability to recall recent events. As the condition progresses, symptoms may include linguistic difficulties, disorientation (including the ability to quickly become lost), mood changes, loss of motivation, inability to manage self-care, and behavioural problems.

Although there is currently no cure, there are therapeutic options available, including medication and surgery, to manage the symptoms.
Track-6: Dementia Management

Treatment of cognitive symptoms, behavioural symptom management, pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological treatments, and dementia-friendly environments.
Track-7: Neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases consist of a wide range of disorders characterized by nerve cell progressive degeneration or death. It affects the nervous tissue and also causes various neuropsychological effects. This is a term for a variety of conditions that affect neurons in the human brain in particular. The development of neurodegenerative diseases has demonstrated that genetic and environmental factors play an important role. Age is one of the main risk factors common to all types of neurodegenerative disease as it commonly progresses in older age.

Track-9: Genetics, Geriatrics and Neuropsychology of Alzheimer
At the molecular and cellular level, ageing is caused by the accumulation of a range of molecular and cellular damage throughout time. This results in a gradual loss of physical and mental capacity, increased disease risk, and eventually, death. However, these changes are not linear or consistent, and they are only tangentially related to a person's chronological age. It is about creating conditions and opportunities that allow people to be and do what they value throughout their lives to achieve healthy ageing. Being free of disease or infirmity is not a requirement for healthy ageing, as many older adults have one or more health conditions that, when well controlled, have little impact on their wellbeing.
