  • Province

    British Columbia

  • Date de Début

    2023

  • Montant total du financement

    $100,000

Aperçu du projet

People living in long-term care (LTC) homes are often socially isolated. Evidence shows virtual reality (VR) can be used to support the mental health of older adults. Virtual programming supports access to meaningful activities that may help combat boredom and loneliness. People living with dementia may not tolerate traditional VR…

Repairing nerve cell connections in Alzheimer’s disease

  • Domaine de recherche

    Neurodegeneration

  • Disease Area

    Alzheimer’s

  • Compétition

    Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP)

  • Province

    Alberta

  • Date de Début

    2023

  • Montant total du financement

    $100,000

Aperçu du projet

The loss of connections between nerve cells is an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease. The loss of these connections also causes difficulty thinking and processing information. Unfortunately, we do not yet understand why this connection loss occurs. Research has shown that the structures that make up the connections become unstable…

Aperçu du projet

Periodontitis, a chronic oral inflammatory disease-causing tissue damage, bone deterioration and tooth loss, has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a key bacterium causing periodontitis, has been found in the brain of Alzheimer’s disease patients, and it is believed to contribute to brain pathology. However, there is a lack…

  • Province

    Ontario

  • Date de Début

    2023

  • Montant total du financement

    $100,000

Aperçu du projet

Medical imaging has changed how we study and treat brain degeneration. The best tool for imaging subtle changes to brain proteins is positron emission tomography (or PET). But that has limited availability. An equivalent tool, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is more available. But SPECT lacks radioactive probes that generate…

Aperçu du projet

When brain cells are injured during Alzheimer’s disease, those cells may either die or become too electrically excitable. This study’s objective is to design drugs that prevent harmful levels of electrical excitability in brain cells. The expected outcome of is to discover a prototype new drug for Alzheimer’s disease. This…
