This was a brilliant episode as I have long been looking into the research into a diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia in general. I for a long time for a paper on diagnostic markers for Alzheimer’s Disease and demetnai in general because it is one of the roadblocks to help us understand and eventually cure these diseases. We still cannot diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and most dementia’s until 15-20 years into the disease. And this paper is a big step forward looking at over 5000 proteins in the blood. So listen in to find out more.

Today is a unique episode. It is the first time I will have people interviewed on the show. I talked to both Professor Arne.D.Ekstrom and Sarah Seger who is a PhD student in his lab who did a lot of the work for the paper which is titled, ‘ Memory-related processing is the primary driver of human hippocampal theta oscillations.

Episode Description This episode is with Dr Titas is looking at retrograde zippering which is another way that neurons are able to correctly grow towards their correct final destination. What exactly does this system involve and how does this work? Listen in to learn all about it and we also explore why the C.elegans is a good model for neuroscience research- depending on the question you are asking. I am also looking for individuals who would be interested in contributing to the blog. It would involve posts about the recent neuroscience that has been published preferably that week. You would try to explain the science in an easy to understand manner and would also want to delve into the significance of the findings.
