Harvard Dementia A Comprehensive Update 2026 — from blood biomarkers to lecanemab and the law
Harvard Dementia A Comprehensive Update 2026 is the 29th edition of the review course built by clinicians for clinicians, recorded 27–30 May 2026 and supplied as videos with VTT subtitles and PDFs. Neurology faculty from Brigham and Women’s, Mass General, Beth Israel Deaconess, McLean and Banner Health take you from cognitive neuroscience and neuropathology through blood and PET biomarkers, every major dementia syndrome and anti-amyloid therapy, to behaviour, caregiving, capacity, driving and end-of-life care.

Inside the course
Harvard Dementia A Comprehensive Update 2026: the foundations
Human cognition, memory systems, attention and executive function, language and aphasia — the neuroanatomical framework that makes every later syndrome easier to recognise.
Diagnosis and disease-modifying therapy
Neuropathology, imaging and biomarkers, blood tests in 2026, practical office evaluation, MCI, experimental therapeutics and case-based teaching on the new anti-amyloid antibodies.
Living with dementia
Behavioural symptoms, disclosure of diagnosis and risk, caregiving, advocacy, CTE, delirium and uncommon dementias, then the medicolegal day — testamentary capacity, competence from finances to firearms, safety and hospice care.
