We would like to thank our amazing team for all of the work that goes into every episode of AMiNDR. Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Elyn Rowe, reviewed by Courtney Kloske, and edited by Anusha Kamesh. The bibliography was created by Satish Kumar and the wordcloud was generated by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). Big thanks to sorting manager Elyn Rowe and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, and to our managers Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch and Anusha Kamesh, for keeping everything running smoothly.

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.

Elyn Rowe would like to acknowledge her support from the Alzheimer Society of Canada, through the Alzheimer Society Research Program. The Alzheimer Society is committed to knowledge dissemination as a key pillar in their mission to  promote the search for causes, treatments, and a cure for Alzheimer disease.
