This grant opportunity supports research focused on understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD), specifically its impact on the brain. Researchers are encouraged to study which brain cells, activities, circuits, and regions are affected by AD, and to explore why some areas of the brain are more vulnerable or resistant to the disease. The goal is to better characterize these aspects and uncover the mechanisms behind this selective vulnerability in the context of brain aging and AD.

Prominent behavioral manifestations of AD include memory impairments and decline in other cognitive domains. AD is a heterogeneous, multifactorial disease that s… Show More
