Funded Activity Summary

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by clinical symptoms of memory deficits and cognitive function. It remains unclear what causes Alzheimer’s disease, but loss of a specific population of brain cells that are critical to cognitive function is generally accepted as a key feature of this condition. The aim of this project is to understand the mechanisms by which this cell loss occurs and how this relates to the loss of brain function.
