Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted, hosted and edited by Ellen Koch and reviewed by Anusha Kamesh. The bibliography was generated by Anjana Rajendran and the wordcloud was created by Sarah Louadi (www.wordart.com). 

Big thanks to the sorting team for taking on the enormous task of sorting all of the Alzheimer’s Disease papers into episodes each month. For November 2021, the sorters were Jacques Ferreira, Christy Yu, Kate Van Pelt, Kira Tosefsky, Dana Clausen, Nicole Corso, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Ellen Koch, Elyn Rowe, and Naila Kuhlmann

Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, Jacques Ferreira 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.
