Hugo J. Aparicio, MD, MPH, assistant professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and a Framingham Heart Study (FHS) investigator, recently received a grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA)\/National Institutes of Health (NIH) to study the vascular risk factors, brain imaging, biomarkers and genetics associated with aging and cognitive decline among participants of the FHS.<\/p>\n
