   Proposal Description:
   Association of white matter lesion burden on MRI with cognitive  dysfunction and gait dysfunction/falls. Comparison of white matter lesion burden in subcortical versus  cortical regions in terms of their association with cognitive and gait  dysfunction/falls. Type of cognitive dysfunction (executive ?) and association with  gait dysfunction/falls.  Identify other predictive factors for gait dysfunction/falls   As a second project, I'm also interested in exploring predictive factors for  dementia, gait dysfunction/falls for progressive supranuclear gaze palsy,  normal pressure hydrocephalus, corticobasal degeneration and diffuse Lewy body  dementia.
