UCI MIND Seminar: Clarifying the role of synapses, Tau & TDP-43in the development of memory impairment

In this talk, Dr. Flanagan will provide a brief background on Alzheimer’s disease, synapses, synaptic proteins, Tau, and TDP-43 in addition to describing key quantitative neuropathologic differences that were identified using in the development of amnestic and non-amnestic dementia syndromes on clinically and neuropathologically stratified post-mortem human brain tissue samples. Results demonstrate how the application of various quantitative neuropathologic approaches utilizing characterized human brain tissue samples clarifies the sequence of events in the development of AD and other clinical dementia syndromes.
