When brain cells are injured during Alzheimer’s disease, those cells may either die or become too electrically excitable.

Dehydration can be dangerous for older adults.

Recovery of movement after a spinal cord injury starts in the brain.

MRI is a powerful tool for measuring how the brain changes across life and how conditions like preterm birth or concussion can disrupt the brain’s development.

We propose to develop a digital signature that identifies the level of care partner burden associated with person living with dementia (PLWD)/care partner dyads living in the community.

A major challenge in dementia care is determining the point at which driving becomes significantly compromised for people with dementia (PWD).

Improving independence and quality of life for persons living with dementia (PLWD) and their care partners can be realized by complementing human care with robotic assistive technologies.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of upper and lower motor neurons (MNs).
