Wayne State researchers examine the role of glutamate in aging cognitive diseases

(Wayne State University - Office of the Vice President for Research) A research team at Wayne State University hopes to give clinicians tools for identifying the early signs of impending disease by measuring subtle deviations in the way the brain modulates its chemistry during the formation of new memories. Their research project, " Task-related modulation of hippocampal glutamate, subfield volumes and associative memory in younger and older adults: a longitudinal ยน H FMRS study, " was recently awarded a two-year, $423,500 grant from the National Institute on Aging of the National Institutes of Health.
