ALZHEIMER

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reductions are a common symptom associated with neurodegenerative disease, which appears early in disease progression, and in the case of Alzheimer's disease correlate with the severity of cognitive impairment... My research program will aim to understand the mechanisms leading to blood flow reductions in mouse models of neurodegenerative disease. To achieve this, we will use in vivo multiphoton imaging, which allows us to follow the development and the progression of these reductions during aging in mouse models of dementia... Determine the mechanisms of capillary stalling and brain flow reductions in mouse models of ftd
