I am intrigued by your work in Neurodegeneration.
The problem with Neurodegeneration is that it directly affects the communication between neurons.
Partly because when we analyzed her cells we discovered the Neurodegeneration had returned.
Severe air pollution can speed up Neurodegeneration when the brain is at the peak of its development- during childhood.
The researchers also confirmed, in line with previous studies,
that youthful mutant flies were healthy but gradually developed Neurodegeneration as they aged.
The questions I had I never asked, partly because I didn't want to believe it, partly because when we analyzed her cells,
we discovered the Neurodegeneration had returned.
I first learned about the ability of a relatively unknown exercise-induced
molecule called“irisin” to improve cognitive function and protect the brain against Neurodegeneration in mice six years ago.
The presence of plaque,
a tangle of proteins that could eventually cause the Neurodegeneration of Alzheimer's disease,
is a risk factor- even so, Wolff might never develop the disease.
She will explore the hypothesis that defects in this interaction may cause cognitive impairments and look at potential new
treatments for the cognitive decay related to aging and Neurodegeneration.
Funded by the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging, one of our goals was to investigate
quality of life and how technology affects the lived experiences of persons with dementia.
