AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

67 - More on Disease Mechanisms in Alzheimer's Disease: August 2020

Episode Summary

In this episode, Elyn takes you through a very diverse set of papers on Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms - catching all of the papers that didn’t slot nicely into other episodes. The topics span a wide range from how the reflex of your pupils adjusting to light may be an early indicator of AD, to potentially pathogenic crystals in post-mortem AD brain tissue. There are also several RNA-based papers and signalling pathway papers in the mix, so tune in to learn something new!

Today's episode was scripted and hosted by Elyn Rowe and edited by Sarah Louadi. All of this was made possible thanks to an entire team of volunteers behind the scenes.  

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.
