A West Virginia University neuroscience fellowship will study how amyloid beta destabilizes excitatory synapses and identify mechanisms that may help prevent synapse loss in Alzheimer's disease.
Description
Research project investigating how amyloid beta disrupts molecular signaling and PSD-95 organization at individual synapses, with the goal of understanding synapse loss in Alzheimer's disease.
