Hello,

I am a neuroscientist studying how specific regions in the brain are vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease (#AD). We are mainly interested in the neurons of entorhinal cortex and hippocampal since they are affected early in AD and important for memory. We use in vivo electrophysiology to understand the population dynamics of neurons affected by amyloid beta and tau pathologies. More recently, we've been interested in how locus coeruleus pathology impacts downstream regions.
Was awesome meeting so many fellow scientists at the #neuroscience meeting #sfn2022
