How is the Human Brain Reprogrammed in Alzheimer's Disease?
Metrics of cognition such as dementia provide the first clues to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease. What are the early events that presage the onset of dementia? How is the brain reprogrammed in Alzheimer’s disease? Is there a hope of reversing Alzheimer’s disease? Do other neurodegenerative disease like Parkinson’s and Huntington’s show similar reprogramming? Do mechanisms of reprogramming offer a strategy for drug screening? Can we develop human brain models for AD? This talk will address these issues from molecular and cellular perspectives.
Dr. Janette Strasburger is a professor in the Department of Pediatrics with the Medical College of Wisconsin and Children's Wisconsin.
