This $107,948 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) aims to enhance understanding of the biological signatures that distinguish subgroups of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The key goals are to: Determine if AD subtypes can be identified solely using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived features through the application of machine learning algorithms. Integrate epigenetic profiles, including small non-coding RNA expression and DNA...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) for $385,612 aims to integrate experimental and computational models to study prefrontal microcircuit changes during healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease progression. The research team at the University of Wyoming will use in vivo calcium imaging, computational simulation modeling, and neural decoding to directly visualize and predict microcircuit changes in the prefrontal cortex. A sub-award of an...
This $6,226,692 project grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866) will support research to examine the role of neuronal hyperexcitability and proteostasis (protein homeostasis) in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The primary focus is on investigating how modifications in brain activity, particularly in the locus coeruleus (LC) and hippocampus (HPC) regions, can lead to the key pathological hallmarks of AD....
This Project Grant award of $353,391.00, provided by the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research), aims to validate the use of a "Personal Learning Curve" paradigm as a sensitive marker of early memory decline related to Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in a large, diverse sample of older adults. The study seeks to determine if this digital cognitive assessment tool, which measures learning over repeated evaluations, can detect subtle AD-related memory failures...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $203,278 to Brandeis University from November 2024 to January 2026 to conduct research on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying daily life activity participation in older adults and its relationship to Alzheimer's disease pathology. The project will use a multilevel, multimodal framework including behavioral, psychophysiological, neuroimaging, and naturalistic approaches to understand...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $128,321.00 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to systematically dissect the retrosplenial cortex (RSG) circuitry in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse models. The key objectives are to: Study biophysical changes in different RSG cell types in two AD mouse models and two age points, in both male and female mice, to generate a cell-type specific physiological map of RSG...
This Project Grant award of $372,690 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), aims to discover the heterogeneous causal pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The project will develop new statistical methods to uncover how amyloid-beta, tau accumulation, and cognition are causally related in different AD subpopulations. The goal is to reveal optimal treatment windows and target groups for therapies that reduce amyloid-beta or...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), provides $146,922 to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York to conduct research on the impact of Alzheimer's disease on genetic signatures of hippocampal memory traces. The key objectives are to determine the gene expression landscape that distinguishes memory-encoding cells from memory-retrieval cells, and how this landscape changes with age and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Southern California provides $622,401 over 5 years starting January 1, 2025 to research causal models of brain biomarker changes leading to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The project aims to: 1) fit novel deep learning models to predict ADRD pathology from diffusion MRI data, 2) generate individualized brain morphology prediction maps as "digital...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under its Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $4,622,818 Cooperative Agreement to investigate proteomic biomarkers for cognitive and brain changes prior to the onset of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). The project will measure 7,000 proteins and established AD/ADRD biomarkers in the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936, a well-characterized longitudinal study, at ages 73, 76, 82, and 85. The research aims to identify...
