New NIH Grant: Tools and Resources to Understand Pathophysiology with Post-Mortem Studies of in vivo Neuroimaging F — $20K at Unknown Institution
Researchers are receiving funding to study how brain imaging scans taken while people are alive compare to what they find when examining brain tissue after death. This work focuses on Alzheimer's disease and related memory disorders, and aims to confirm whether the imaging scans are accurately detecting the brain changes that cause these diseases.
WHY IT MATTERSThis research will help doctors develop better brain imaging tests that can catch Alzheimer's disease and related dementias earlier, potentially before symptoms become severe.
