CoNDA Center Seminar

The Cognitive Neuroscience of Development & Aging Center (CoNDA) hosts William Jagust, MD, Professor from the School of Public Health and Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at the University of California Berkeley, to present “Imaging the Molecular Pathology of Alzheimer’s Disease” on Friday, May 14^th from 12 to 1pm. Dr. Jagust’s career has been focused on understanding the aging brain, and particularly the borderland between normal cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease. His laboratory has pioneered in the use of multimodal imaging to understand brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease, employing positron emission tomography (PET) to measure amyloid and tau proteins in the brain, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate how these protein aggregates affect neural function and brain structure.
