DESCRIPTION:Summary:\nThe intersection of infectious diseases and cognitiv
 e deficits is an growing area of research with significant clinical implic
 ations. Numerous infections\, including COVID-19\, have been associated wi
 th an elevated risk of cognitive deficits and dementia\, while certain vac
 cines—most notably the recombinant shingles vaccine—have been linked t
 o reduced risks. This talk will explore these relationships through findin
 gs from retrospective cohort studies\, natural experiments leveraging larg
 e-scale electronic health records\, and prospective cohort studies. The di
 scussion will focus on the associations between SARS-CoV-2 infections and 
 cognitive impairment\, as well as the protective cognitive effects observe
 d with vaccines against shingles and RSV. Mechanistic insights will be hig
 hlighted.\n\nBrief bio:\nMax Taquet is a Clinical Lecturer in psychiatry a

 e\, multimodal datasets to better understand neuropsychiatric disorders an
 d their intricate connections with physical health conditions. Before stud
