Alzheimer’s disease disproportionately affects women and emerging evidence suggests there may be unique biological and lifestyle factors that underlie these differences.

Over the past decade, the number of new cellular structures that have been identified with critical functions for life has expanded considerably.

Over the past several years, zebrafish have proven to be a valuable model to study motor neuron degeneration and search for new treatments.

Huntington disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease that affects approximately 1 in 7500 individuals in the Western world.

The Northern Lights collaboration for better 2-photon probes will combine the expertise of four very different investigators and laboratories from Montana and Canada with complementary interests and skills to tackle a fundamental problem in imaging of the activity of the living brain.

Recent studies have shown that damage to the small blood vessels in the brain (cerebrovascular disease) may increase the risk for Alzheimer’s.

In this Hudson project, the team led by Dr. Robertson will pursue a comprehensive understanding of the normal functions of C9ORF72 and provide a better determination of whether loss of these functions via mutation may cause or contribute to ALS.

One of the greatest advancements in science over the past 10 years is the development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

ALS is a disease that is characterized by degeneration of both upper and lower motor neurons, and while a significant proportion of work has focused on motor neurons in the spinal cord, the motor cortex in the brain, where electrical signals to your muscles originate have clear, but poorly
