NIH grant awarded to Boston University for research on quantitative birefringence microscopy to study myelin pathologies in aging monkey brains, relevant to cognitive and motor impairments.
Description
This NIH grant supports research on high-resolution imaging of myelin in the central nervous system using polarized-light microscopy, with applications in neurodegenerative diseases and aging. The project involves validation and application of quantitative birefringence microscopy (qBRM) in monkey models of myelin damage.
