Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias Summit 2019 (Day 2)
This Summit addresses special research priorities for Alzheimer ’ s disease-related dementias, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Lewy body, mixed, and vascular dementias. The goal of the 2019 Summit is to review and assess the progress on the research recommendations developed by the 2013 and 2016 ADRD Summits, refine and add new recommendations based on recent scientific discoveries, solicit input from diverse stakeholders, including the public, and update priorities and timelines for addressing the Alzheimer ’ s disease-related dementias.For more information go tohttps://www.ninds.nih.gov/News-Events/Events-Pr...

Can you catch dementia? Insights and solutions from prion disease
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The Department of Neurodegenerative Disease ’ s research portfolio encompasses prion diseases (predominantly within the embedded MRC Prion Unit), Alzheimer ’ s disease and related disorders, Huntington ’ s disease, motor neurone disease and frontotemporal dementia and studies of the pathways of cellular senescence. The research philosophy is to combine basic and clinical translational research; many of the key contributions towards understanding the basic biology of these diseases have come from clinical and neuropathological observations, and efficient translation of...

NIH Alzheimer's Disease Research Summit 2018 (Day 2)
The 2018 NIH AD Research Summit will bring together researchers and opinion leaders from academia, industry, federal agencies, private foundations and public advocacy groups working on Alzheimer's and other complex diseases with the goal to evaluate progress towards the AD research implementation milestones and to continue the development of an integrated, multidisciplinary, translational research agenda necessary to address critical knowledge gaps and enable precision medicine for AD. Key to achieving this goal is the identification of: 1) resources/infrastructure and multi-stakeholder partnerships necessary to successful...

From human genetics to therapeutic hypothesis for nervous system disorders: pain and Alzheimer ’ s disease
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Sheng is Vice-President, Neuroscience, and responsible for directing neuroscience research and drug discovery efforts at Genentech. An expert on synapse biology, Dr. Sheng is now focused on the genetic underpinnings and pathogenic mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer ’ s, Parkinson ’ s, fronto-temporal dementia. In this translational context, recent research activities of the Sheng lab have centered on the molecular and cellular mechanisms of synapse loss, regulation of mitophagy, microglial involvement in neurodegeneration, and functions of ...

Deconstructing lifecourse mechanisms of Alzheimer ’ s disease disparities
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. Manly aims to improve the diagnostic accuracy of neuropsychological tests when used to detect cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease among African American and Hispanic elders. This work clarifies the independent influences of language, acculturation, educational experiences, racial socialization, and socioeconomic status on cognitive test performance, with the ultimate goal of understanding more about the relationship between culture and cognition. Recent work focuses on the specificity of cognitive tasks in detecting subtle cognitive decline among illiterate and...

Systemic immunity protects the mind: Can immune checkpoint blockade combat Alzheimer ’ s disease?
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture
It is now widely accepted that immune surveillance is required for supporting brain functional plasticity and repair. Participating cells include the microglia, the resident myeloid immune cells of the brain, circulating monocytes, and CD4+ T cells. Over the years, we demonstrated that leukocytes supporting the brain can gain access to the brain through a unique compartment within the brain territory, the chroid plexus epithelium (CP) at the blood-cerebrospinal fluid-barrier (B-CSF-B), remote from the brain parenchyma. The CP serves as a selective gateway allowing leukocyte entry ...
