This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $636,342 to Trustees of Boston University's Boston University Medical Campus to conduct multiscale modeling and empirical studies of normal and pathological brain aging. The research aims to elucidate the relationships between myelin dystrophy, synaptic loss, and neuronal hyperexcitability in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, and how these changes contribute to age- and Alzheimer's disease-related cognitive impairments. The 5-year project will utilize computational models and empirical validation in rhesus monkeys to understand the impact of selective myelin loss and remyelination on neural circuit function and working memory. The findings are expected to inform the development of biophysically realistic models of working memory and therapeutic interventions for cognitive decline.
