The Center for Vital Longevity is a research institute at the University of Texas at Dallas. The CVL brings together a group of research scientists who are using advanced brain-imaging technologies and research techniques in cognitive neuroscience to understand, maintain, and improve the vitality of the aging mind. Our research aims to identify who is most at risk of cognitive impairment and evaluate treatments that might prevent or halt cognitive decline.
