Gowon Son, Ph.D. AAIC 2023 Conference Fellowship Award

Congratulations to Gowoon Son, Ph.D. for being awarded a Conference Fellowship for the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference® 2023 (AAIC®) will be hosted in Amsterdam, Netherlands on July 16-20, 2023. Her abstract titled "Selective vulnerability of the suprachiasmatic nucleus in...

A podcast with Connor Wander "Deep Brain Degeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease with Dr. Lea Grinberg & Research Team"

Connor Wander from the UNC-Chapel hill had a conversation with Dr. Grinberg on Deep Brain Degeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease and conversation with the Grinberg lab on Losing Control from the Locus Coeruleus.

Congratulations to Lea Grinberg and Daniela Ushizima winners of the PMWC Pioneer Award for developing a new and reliable technique for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and measuring the eficacy of experimental treatments.

Alzheimer's drug lecanemab slows cognitive decline but concerns linger

The lecanemab group also had substantial decreases to the number of misfolded proteins in the brain called tau tangles. These proteins increased in the control group. “Tau is the abnormal protein in Alzheimer’s disease that has the best correlation with clinical decline,” says Lea Grinberg at the...

Loss of Neurons, Not Lack of Sleep, Makes Alzheimer’s Patients Drowsy Reviving “Awake Neurons” Could Be the Solution to Their Sleepiness, UCSF Study Shows

The lethargy that many Alzheimer’s patients experience is caused not by a lack of sleep, but rather by the degeneration of a type of neuron that keeps us awake, according to a study that also confirms the tau protein is behind that neurodegeneration. The study’s findings contradict the common...

Ladders Inc.: This very normal habit could be a symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease

This article was updated on August 12, 2021. A report published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s and Dementia, posits that toxic clumps of a protein called tau might be what causes Alzheimer’s disease.

DGIST Ph.D. candidate receiving a degree from DGIST and Maastricht University, Gowoon Son, DGIST

Gowoon Son, an Integrated M.S. and Ph.D. student in the department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences, successfully completed the graduate program of Maastricht University in Netherlands to receive Ph.D. from both DGIST and Maastricht University.

Brain Cells Most Vulnerable to Alzheimer’s Disease Identified by Scientists Findings Could Lead to Targeted Treatments to Boost Brain’s Resilience

A major mystery in Alzheimer’s disease research is why some brain cells succumb to the creeping pathology of the disease years before symptoms first appear, while others seem impervious to the degeneration surrounding them until the disease’s final stages.
