New in #JNeurosci: aging dogs experience neuron death & brain atrophy, which underlie memory & thinking issues. @jessnoche @ElzHead @NorrisLab_SBCoA et al. show that social & cognitive enrichment may improve these outcomes. Jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

“A lot of people who have dementia do not have Alzheimer’s disease.” That is a statement that guides researchers at the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging as they aim to better define other causes of dementia. @UKSBCoA

The image captured by Pradoldej “Bob” Sompol @pfizoechst shows astrocytes surrounding a blood vessel in the brain of a mouse model from their study. Landing the cover image on a high-impact journal is a first for Sompol & the rest of the team @UKSBCoA

Congratulations @UKYNeuro faculty Dr. Adam Bachstetter @BachstetterLab and Dr. Marilyn Duncan!
Five researchers from three UK colleges are spearheading a five-year @NIHAging-funded pre-clinical investigation of the underlying biological mechanisms linking sleep disruption and the risk and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. bit.ly/41vbf7p @ResearchKY

Fresh preprint and collab w/ @LJohnsonLab : bit.ly/ApoE4Astros
APOE, Astrocytes, Immunometabolism, and multi-omics: ApoE4 drives dysfunctional astrocyte response to inflammatory challenge and these responses can be recovered pharmacologically by targeting cREL.
