"Dementia for Scientists" Online CurriculumThe Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center was pleased to release the “Dementia for Scientists” online curriculum in September 2018. The curriculum is available to view on YouTube here. The goal of this curriculum is to provide a broad and current introduction to important aspects of dementias and dementia-related research. The target audience is junior investigators.
Why did we create this curriculum?
Dementia research is highly diverse in content, ranging from basic biophysical research to social science. While investigators entering the field from diverse research backgrounds are well-trained in their own discipline, they may lack broader knowledge of the many aspects of dementia and dementia research that are important in understanding critical issues in the field. This curriculum aims to provide a relatively sophisticated introduction to critical aspects of dementias across the broad sweep of the field. The ultimate goal is to enhance the ability of junior investigators to read and understand relevant literature outside their own disciplines.
The curriculum consists of 8 modules, each of which addresses an important area in contemporary dementia research. Each module includes several presentations. The presentations are relatively concise, PowerPoint lectures that can be viewed when convenient.
The modules include the following topics:
- Dementia Definition and Evaluation
- Dementia Pathology & Pathogenesis
- Dementia Genetics
- Dementia Imaging
- Therapy Development in Dementias
- Health Services and Policy Dementia Research
- Research Performance in Ethnically Diverse Populations
- HIV and Cognitive Decline
We encourage users to view all modules, though many may wish to focus on topics outside their areas of expertise. Modules 1, 2, 5, & 6 might be said to constitute core elements that everyone should know.
We hope you find the curriculum valuable. This is our initial effort and we welcome all comments, criticisms, and suggestions. Please send all feedback to Stephanie Nava at senava@med.umich.edu.

REC Junior Investigator Mentees – 2023-2025 Class
Andrew Brouwer, Ph.D., M.S., M.A.Andrew Brouwer, PhD, MS, MA (University of Michigan, Assistant Research Scientist) develops and uses computational epidemiology to enhance our understanding of the complex patterns and dynamics that underlie disease data, as well as the implications of those patterns for public health practice. Systems thinking is a fundamental theoretical framework in epidemiology, and Dr. Brouwer uses it to bring new insights about the population-level implications of transmission processes, disease etiology and progression, and behavior. Dr. Brouwer's work is data-driven, focused on developing models for inference in epidemiology and public health. His s work is united by the use of mechanistic frameworks as a lens to interpret real data, a focus on longitudinal patterns and dynamics, and by a quantitative toolset that includes compartmental differential equation models, stochastic multistate transition models, age–period–cohort models, among others. He is an expert in methods that address questions of parameter identifiability, estimation, and uncertainty.
Elizabeth Litkowski, Ph.D.Elizabeth Litkowski, PhD (University of Michigan) is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Kaczorowski Lab who returned to graduate school after a diverse background in technology businesses. She holds a B.S. in Mathematics and an MBA which enabled her to hold roles in businesses as varied as electronic component supply chain distribution to oil/gas drilling before moving to work with theoretical statisticians. Upon returning to school, she completed an MS degree in Biostatistics evaluating gene networks perturbed by ethanol exposure in a LXS mouse panel to identify potential targets for treating alcohol addiction. In her PhD in genetic Epidemiology, she studied the genetic risk between diabetes and dementia in the Million Veteran Program (MVP), a large biobank of U.S Veterans with clinical and genotype data. Using a technique called Mendelian randomization, she found evidence of causality between diabetes and dementia in MVP. In her postdoctoral research, she is pursuing the next step of the diabetes-dementia link through analysis of glucose tolerance with cognitive impairment in a gene by diet study in a mouse panel intended to emulate human diversity.
Norman Scheel, Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D.), Dipl.-Inf.Norman Scheel, Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D.), Dipl.-Inf. (Michigan State University, Postdoctoral Fellow, Research Associate) is on the cutting edge of multi-disciplinary academic training, the prestigious University of Lübeck, Germany allowed me to pursue my education at the cross-sections of computer science, medical informatics, and medicine. Connecting the fields of medical imaging and data science was my core interest during my higher academic education. With great pride, I received a German Diploma in Informatics (Dipl.-Inf., comparable to a combined B.S. and M.S. degree) under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.med.habil. Siegfried J. Pöppl († 2019), a visionary and early spearhead in medical image computing in Germany. My doctoral education focused on computational neuroscience at the Graduate School for Computing in Medicine & Life Sciences, University of Lübeck, Germany, for which I received a very prestigious Scholarship from the German Universities Excellence Initiative. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Amir Madany Mamlouk, (Institute for Neuro- and Bioinformatics and Center of Brain, Behavior, and Metabolism (CBBM), University of Lübeck, Germany), I evaluated machine learning methods on resting-state functional MRI data, especially in high dimension - low sample size scenarios. As advanced machine-learning approaches proved to be very sensitive towards noise and confounds in functional MRI data, a great amount of my doctoral research focused on artifact removal strategies and their effects on machine-learning-derived biomarkers. In my postdoctoral fellowship at the Department of Neurology, University Medical Center Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, I further investigated a method to measure the dimensional complexity of resting-state functional MRI recordings of the human brain and found significant changes in the complexity of brain function due to healthy aging. Based on this finding I was awarded a developmental grant to test the dimensional complexity of resting-state fMRI data as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease, by the Michigan Alzheimer’s disease research center (MADRC). In my postdoctoral time at Michigan State University, I have been able to work closely with Dr. David Zhu, and a multi-disciplinary multi-university team, co-leading the imaging cores of major NIH R01 clinical trials investigating the underpinning relationships of hypertension and the development of Alzheimer’s disease. All throughout my postgraduate career I have been teaching and mentoring students in the many aspects of data- and neuroscience and am proud that I was recently awarded Michigan State University’s 2023 Postdoctoral Excellence in Teaching and Mentoring Award.
Elisa Torres, Ph.D., R.N.Elisa Torres, PhD, RN (Wayne State University) is an Associate Professor at Wayne State University, College of Nursing. Dr. Torres’ program of research involves physical activity and the brain.

Connie Wu, Ph.D.Connie Wu, Ph.D. (University of Michigan) is a Research Assistant Professor in the Life Sciences Institute and an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Michigan. Her lab launched in January 2023 and focuses on (1) the development and translation of ultrasensitive single-molecule detection technologies for diagnostic applications in Alzheimer’s disease and cancer; and (2) multifunctional RNA therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy. Connie obtained her B.S. in chemical engineering from Yale University, where she worked with Dr. Paul Van Tassel in designing porous layer-by-layer polymer films for tissue engineering applications. She pursued her Ph.D. in chemical engineering at MIT in Dr. Paula Hammond’s lab, where she engineered a highly potent small interfering RNA (siRNA) nanoparticle delivery system via nucleic acid engineering and polymer chemistry approaches. She then transitioned to the diagnostics field for her postdoctoral research in the lab of Dr. David Walt at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Wyss Institute at Harvard University, where she pioneered ultrasensitive single-molecule detection methods that can measure attomolar (10-18 M) protein concentrations with versatile multiplexing capabilities. In parallel, she developed ultrasensitive digital assays for detecting the long-interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) retrotransposon-encoded protein ORF1p in blood as a highly specific multi-cancer biomarker. Connie is a Biological Sciences Scholar at the University of Michigan and was the recipient of multiple fellowships during her Ph.D. and postdoctoral training, including an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, MIT Presidential Fellowship, and NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein F32 Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Arthur Zhou, Ph.D.Arthur Zhou, Ph.D. (University of Michigan) is a Postdoctoral Research Investigator in the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics at the University of Michigan. His primary research interest is the discovery and analysis of structural genomic variation within human populations and its impact on health and disease. Structural variations (SVs) have long been known to shape population diversity and lead to many genetic disorders. By combining bioinformatics pipelines and the data from variable genomic technologies, we can explore the SVs' origins, distribution, and mutational processes. An outstanding problem in the field is that many SVs are potentially overlooked, lying in complex genomic regions that hinder the discovery by traditional methodologies and bioinformatics pipelines. One category of genomic variation, repetitive retrotransposable elements, is of particular interest to my current research. By developing novel analytical tools and leveraging cutting-edge genomic technologies, particularly the emerging long-read sequencing technologies, we can penetrate these intricate regions and resolve these cryptic SVs as we have never done before.

The “Dementia for Scientists” online curriculum debuted in September 2018. You can find it on YouTube here. The goal of this curriculum is to provide a broad and current introduction to important aspects of dementias and dementia-related research. The target audience is junior investigators.
Why did we create this curriculum?
Dementia research is highly diverse in content, ranging from basic biophysical research to social science. While investigators entering the field from diverse research backgrounds are well-trained in their own discipline, they may lack broader knowledge of the many aspects of dementia and dementia research that are important in understanding critical issues in the field. This curriculum aims to provide a relatively sophisticated introduction to critical aspects of dementias across the broad sweep of the field. The ultimate goal is to enhance the ability of junior investigators to read and understand relevant literature outside their own disciplines.
How the curriculum is structured
The curriculum consists of eight modules, each of which addresses an important area in contemporary dementia research. The modules begin with basic definitional material (Dementia Definition and Evaluation) and proceed through biology of dementias (Dementia Pathology & Pathogenesis; Dementia Genetics), clinical research (Dementia Imaging; Therapy Development in Dementias), and important policy and social science aspects of dementias (Health Services and Policy Dementia Research; Research Performance in Ethnically Diverse Populations).
- Module 1: Dementia Definition & Evaluation
- Module 2: Dementia Pathology & Pathogenesis
- Module 3: Dementia Genetics
- Module 4: Dementia Imaging
- Module 5: Therapy Development in Dementias
- Module 6: Health Services & Policy in Dementia Research
- Module 7: Research Performance in Ethnically Diverse Populations
- Module 8: HIV and Cognitive Performance
We encourage users to view all modules, though many may wish to focus on topics outside their areas of expertise. Modules 1, 2, 5, & 6 might be said to constitute core elements that everyone should know.

2022-2024 Funded Developmental Projects
"The Neurophysiological Mechanisms Linking Sleep Disturbances and Alzheimer’s disease"Dr. Gideon Rothschild, Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Michigan
Project Narrative: Studies in recent years have found that sleep disturbances, which are highly prevalent in the adult population, are a risk factor for the development of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the brain mechanisms by which sleep disturbances could promote cognitive decline remain unresolved. In this proposal, we aim to directly address this knowledge gap in mouse animal models by recording and manipulating neural activity in the hippocampus- a critical brain region for memory- as mice experience chronic sleep disturbances that model the human condition. Our overarching goal is to elucidate the neural mechanisms linking sleep disturbances, aberrant hippocampal activity and development of AD, with the hope of promoting novel therapeutic and prevention approaches for AD, which are in dire need.
"Dimensional Complexity: a new marker for cognitive elasticity and MCI/AD progression"Norman Scheel, Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D.), Dipl.-Inf., Department of Radiology, College of Human Medicine, Michigan State University
Narrative description: Even though functional resting-state MRI was first introduced more than two decades ago, it is still difficult to derive the global complexity of brain function from these recordings. In our early-stage research, introducing dimensional complexity measures to resting-state fMRI, we found significant changes in the complexity of brain function due to healthy aging. In this development project, we aim to lay the groundwork to establish dimensional complexity as a marker for cognitive elasticity, as it might prove to be valuable in diagnostics and the prediction of cognitive decline in dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
"Explore the functional impact of transposable elements in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias"Weichen Zhou, Ph.D., Research Investigator, Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics, University of Michigan
Project Narrative: This project, entitled ‘Explore the functional impact of transposable elements in Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias’, is proposed by Weichen Zhou (Research Investigator) and Ryan E. Mills (Associate Professor) at the Department of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics, University of Michigan Medical School. It seeks to explore the connection between the somatic transposable elements in the human genome and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. It will leverage large-scale datasets to extensively explore the genome-wide transposable elements and then stratify Alzheimer’s disease-relevant ones by using the rich clinical information from the cohorts. Further analysis pipelines and a predictive model will be built to investigate the functional impact of these transposable elements on Alzheimer’s disease and would improve the understanding of genetic causes of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias.
"A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of A Comprehensive Cognitive and Affective Intervention for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) (CoINTEGRATE- For Foreign-Born Arab Americans- a dyadic approach)"Hala Darwish, Ph.D., Associate Professor, School of Nursing, University of Michigan
2020-2021 Funded Pilot Projects
"White Matter Microstructure and Cognitive Plasticity: New Markers of Resilience in ADRD"Andrew Bender, PhD (Michigan State University)
Goal: The maintenance of cognitive abilities in older age despite neural decrements appears to reflect one’s capacity for cognitive and neural plasticity. Such resilience to neuropathological processes appears moderated by educational attainment and life course enrichment, but there are no established markers of resilience. The proposed pilot study seeks to establish feasibility for studying new markers of resilience against early neurocognitive decline in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by leveraging existing data and resources from the MADRC longitudinal clinical cohort. We propose evaluating the potential of novel markers from existing diffusion MRI neuroimaging and neuropsychological test data to classify early declines in MCI. Specifically, we will investigate novel measures of white matter crossing fiber complexity and cognitive plasticity (i.e., practice effects), as potential markers of neurocognitive resilience against declines in MCI. We will evaluate differences in baseline level and 1–2 year longitudinal change to test whether short-term changes in practice effects and crossing fiber populations are attenuated or absent in MCI. We will examine whether these markers are less biased by race and ethnicity than other neuropsychological measures of cognitive decline. The proposed pilot study will lead to development of a collaborative R01 proposal to investigate new markers of neurocognitive resilience.
"Cognitive Decline in African Americans: The Impact of Hypertension, Stress, and Coping"DeAnnah Byrd, PhD (Wayne State University)
Goal: Cognitive decline is a substantial and growing public health concern. The older U.S. population is expected to increase dramatically by 2030, growing from 35 to 72 million, and becoming significantly more racially and ethnically diverse. Most concerning are reports suggesting that Blacks have a higher risk of cognitive disease than Whites. In particular, Blacks have more chronic conditions such as high blood pressure (HBP), diabetes, and stroke, which can affect the brain and cognition. Likewise, Blacks are further disproportionately exposed to stress. Although, social support and coping resources have been shown to positively impact health outcomes and buffer against stress; few studies have examined whether health status, stress, and coping factors account for differences in cognitive decline in Blacks. The goal of this project is to explore innovative approaches to address individual variation in risk and protective factors contributing to cognitive changes and decline in Blacks. This project uses secondary data taken from the Baltimore Study of Black Aging—Patterns of Cognitive Aging to examine whether health and psychosocial factors that differ by race (e.g., HBP and perceived stress as risks and social support and coping as protective factors) underlie racial inequalities in cognitive decline in older U.S. adults.
"Brain Iron Accumulation as a Pathway of Hypertension-Related Risk for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia"Ana Daugherty, PhD (Wayne State University)
Goal: Hypertension is the most prevalent and pernicious vascular risk factor that exacerbates age-related neural cognitive declines. Adequate antihypertensive treatment does not rescue neurological health or cognitive function, which suggests that hypertension has secondary effects on antecedents of neural cognitive decline. Iron accumulation that drives oxidative stress and subsequent metabolic dysfunction is a plausible mechanism of hypertension effects on cognition, and brain iron via MRI is a promising biomarker of impending decline in aging, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia (ADRD). Iron preferentially accumulates in age-sensitive brain regions—e.g., striatum, hippocampus—which may be exacerbated by hypertension to explain greater cognitive decline. Brain iron accumulation is a putative biomarker sensitive to early stages of neurodegeneration, yet its interaction with hypertension is unknown. This proposal uses the existing Michigan ADRC sample to evaluate the effect of hypertension and vascular risk on subcortical iron concentration, two-year cognitive decline, and ADRD diagnosis. A subset of the existing sample will be recruited to undergo a state-of-the-art high-resolution hippocampal subfield scan to evaluate the possible correlation between hippocampal iron concentration and entorhinal cortex and subiculum volumes as additional biomarkers of ADRD pathology. The study aims to evaluate pathways for hypertension effects on ADRD and its progression.
"Age-Associated Alterations in Protein Translation Dynamics"Peter Todd, PhD (University of Michigan)
Goal: Studies in diverse model organisms ranging from yeast to mice and across tissue types, including the brain, demonstrate decreases in global protein synthesis with chronological aging. Age-related changes in the abundance of specific components of the translational apparatus, namely initiation and elongation factors as well as specific ribosomal proteins, suggest that an element of this decline in protein synthesis may result from direct alterations in the translational machinery. Intriguingly, nucleolar size (the site of ribosomal biogenesis) also decreases with age. Interventions that enhance longevity, such as Rapamycin treatment, directly impact translation, suggesting that altered translational dynamics in aging are both important and potentially modifiable. The brain is particularly vulnerable to age-associated declines in cellular physiology since it is made up of a finite number of post-mitotic neurons that rely on localized protein synthesis for certain synaptic functions, suggesting that alterations in translation could contribute to problems in the aging brain.
Despite multiple lines of evidence demonstrating global decreases in translation, we know little about the molecular mechanisms underlying this conserved aging phenomenon. This proposal will use recent advances in transcript specific translational profiling and comparative proteomic approaches to define alterations in the global translational landscape with age and following an intervention (Rapamycin treatment) in UMHET3 mice. My central hypothesis is that age-related alterations in the translational machinery abundance directly impact translational dynamics, leading to age-associated decreases in both global and transcript-specific protein synthesis. This proposal will define the aging “translatome” and generate specific testable predictions as to the molecular mechanisms underlying global decreases in protein translation with age as well as the dynamic changes that occur after rapamycin treatment.
2019-2020 Funded Pilot Projects
"Understanding retosplenial dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease to identify novel therapeutic targets"Omar Ahmed, PhD (University of Michigan)
Goal: By understanding the relationship between retrosplenial ion channels, neuronal subtypes, brain rhythms and memory in both healthy and AD-model animals, the significance of this project spans both basic and translational neuroscience. Specifically, we will 1) elucidate the learning and memory correlates of a recently discovered, unique high frequency oscillation (HFO) localized to the retrosplenial cortex and understand how these retrosplenial HFOs are altered in both a rat and a mouse model of AD; 2) construct a detailed circuit connectivity map among major neuronal subtypes of the RSC and deduce the computations each of these subtypes is ideally suited to perform; 3) test the causal role of high Kv1.1 expression in RSC FS cells in impairing memory function. This work is likely to open up a novel line of research and potential therapies focused on the retrosplenial molecular/cellular underpinnings of AD, and is not directly focused on amyloid-β.
"Magnetic properties of microvascular lesions as potential biomarkers for dementia"Norman Cheng, PhD (Wayne State University) and Scott Counts, PhD (Michigan State University)
Goal: The goal of this pilot proposal is to establish proof of concept that magnetic properties of cerebral microbleeds and microinfarcts can be biomarkers for incipient dementia. Currently, these MRI micro-objects are known to be strongly associated with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) and AD, but they also appear in healthy older people at a lower prevalence. From MRI, counting the number of microbleeds and/or microinfarcts is the only reliable method used clinically. However, the number of these putative lesions is subject to imaging parameters and it does not correlate well with the rate of cognitive decline in AD. As micro-objects with hemorrhagic components show magnetic susceptibility effects in MRI, here we propose to quantify the magnetic properties of these micro-objects from MR images of postmortem samples, validate the hemorrhagic components in those micro-objects from histological studies, and calculate the Cox hazard ratio between demented and control samples. We will request a total of 40 postmortem samples from MADC, all of which will be from subjects with vascular problems. Each of the demented and control groups will contain at least 10 samples. The samples among the two groups will be gender balanced and age matched, as well as be blinded to us.
"The impact of protein AMPylation on Alzheimer’s disease"Matthias Truttman, PhD (University of Michigan)
Goal: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects millions of patients worldwide. Despite concerted efforts, the precise cascade of molecular events underlying AD onset and progression remains elusive. Recently, we discovered that, along with histone proteins, the molecular chaperone Hsc70 is post-translationally modified by the attachment of an AMP nucleotide, a process called AMPylation. Intriguingly, the human AMPylase, Hype, accumulates in the nuclei of neocortex-derived neurons from AD patients (Fig. 1A), whereas Hype resides in the cytoplasm of control neurons. We hypothesize that nuclear accumulation of Hype alters the Hsc70 and histone AMPylation landscape, thereby affecting chromatin assembly and accessibility in AD. Our proposed research will address the impact of AMPylation on gene regulation in AD development.
"Mechanisms of tau-mediated retrograde transport inhibition"Benjamin Combs, PhD (Michigan State University)
Goal: Inhibition of fast axonal transport (FAT) is closely linked to neurodegeneration of synapses and axons as well as pathological modifications of the tau protein observed early in Alzheimer’s diseases and related tauopathies. It is well established that several of these tau forms can disrupt FAT in multiple models of transport. We have previously identified a molecular mechanism by which tau can disrupt anterograde FAT but do not currently know the mechanism by which they can alter retrograde FAT (rFAT). Here, we propose to use the toxic P301L tau to test two of the major mechanistic pathways that tau could disrupt rFAT: alterations to kinase signaling pathways or direct interaction with the dynein motor complex and its regulatory subunits. We will express wild-type and P301L tau in primary rat hippocampal neurons and measure changes to kinases known to regulate rFAT, perform pulldown experiments to identify relevant protein-protein interactions, and characterize specific changes to rFAT that will inform our understanding of this toxic mechanism. Completion of this proposal will further our mechanistic understanding of non-amyloid toxic effects on rFAT and provide the basis for future grant proposals to further elucidate mechanistic details and explore potential therapeutic interventions.
"Linking social isolation and cognition through functional brain network correlates in non-demented older adults"Patrick Pruitt, PhD (Wayne State University)
Goal: Social isolation has been linked to late-life dementia incidence and, as a modifiable risk factor, represents a target for intervention studies to preserve or enhance cognitive function in older adults. The effects of social isolation on brain
function, through which it impacts cognition, have not been determined. Functional connectivity is an early indicator of neurodegeneration, marking it as a valuable measure for intervention trials, for which early identification of risk is
critical.Here, we propose an investigation of the association between social isolation and functional connectivity of three core networks underlying cognition: default mode (DMN), frontoparietal (FPN), and salience (SN) networks. We hypothesize that social isolation will be associated with disrupted connectivity within the DMN and SN, as well as disrupted DMN/SN between-network connectivity. We further propose an exploratory analysis of associations between social isolation, network connectivity, and cognition.
We plan to test these hypotheses by analyzing resting-state fMRI scans, Lubben social engagement scores, and performance on neuropsychological testing, in 133 non-demented older adults across the pre-dementia cognitive continuum, for whom data has already been collected through the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Center.
"Toward a Culturally Responsive Intervention for Black Caregivers of Persons with Dementia"Sheria Robinson-Lane, PhD (University of Michigan)
Goal: Family caregivers of Black older adults with Alzheimer's disease and/or related dementias (ADRD) have an elevated risk for developing dementia themselves. Stress-related risk factors likely contribute to this risk and may be reduced through targeted interventions that aim to improve overall cardiovascular health and self-management of chronic disease. Although evidence has demonstrated that culture plays an important role in caregiver outcomes, few interventions have been designed to meet the needs of underserved ethnic and racial populations, leaving a critical need for caregiver informed health interventions that promote effective self-management of chronic disease and the use of personally-relevant ways of coping to manage stress. In addition to reducing ADRD-related disability, culturally rooted and strength-based interventions can improve caregiver health, perceived ability to provide care for a person with ADRC (self-efficacy), and increases the likelihood that caregivers will experience benefits from caregiving. The overall objective of the proposed work is to test the feasibility of a descriptive study designed to identify a culturally responsive approach to caregiver support that will promote adaptive coping and optimize health for Black ADRD family caregivers. The proposed pilot work expands an active study by testing the utility of an electronically delivered questionnaire along with the addition of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and a grip strength measure. It is anticipated that by integrating the additional cognitive assessment and grip strength measures described, and delivering the survey electronically, an exceptional study may be developed that will lead to a highly effective intervention. This work addresses a void in culturally responsive health interventions for Black ADRD family caregivers.
"Amyloid potentiates neuroinflammation and cognitive decline after sepsis survival"Benjamin Singer, PhD (University of Michigan)
Goal: Hospitalization is associated with increased risk of incident dementia among older adults, and patients with underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) neuropathology are particularly vulnerable to long-lasting cognitive effects of acute illness. Systemic inflammation, especially sepsis, results in long-lasting neuroinflammatory changes to the brain, especially persistent expression of damage-associated molecular pattern signals and activation of innate immunity. Similar pathways are activated in patients and animal models of AD. I hypothesize that AD results in increased vulnerability to systemic inflammation and potentiates the persistent neuroinflammatory response in sepsis survivors, and that delayed inhibition of neuroinflammation will protect sepsis survivors from persistent brain injury. 5xFAD mice, a transgenic model of AD with accelerated -amyloid production, and wild-type controls will be subjected to sepsis or sham operation and treated with an inhibitor of the innate immune response or vehicle control. I expect that 5xFAD sepsis survivor mice will exhibit impairment in contextual fear conditioning, increased pro-inflammatory gene expression and leukocyte recruitment compared to wild-type sepsis survivors, which will be reversed by inhibition of the innate immune response. Understanding mechanisms of vulnerability to systemic insults in AD will lead to targeted treatments that may prevent or arrest cognitive decline after systemic illness
