Pilot grant winner featured on NHLBI website

The NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) introduced a new Fact Sheet this week, “Vascular dementia: Exercise, blood flow and the aging brain.” The Fact Sheet highlights Jill Barnes, PhD, assistant professor of kinesiology at UW-Madison, and her NHLBI-supported research into how aging and exercise training alters the responsiveness of blood vessels in the brain. Dr. Barnes was a 2014-2015 recipient of a Wisconsin ADRC Pilot Project Grant.
