Understanding Cerebellar Contributions to Cognitive and Affective Functions in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease/Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias

Funds research on how the cerebellum shapes cognition and mood in both healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

ClosedNational Institutes of HealthUnited States

Cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease research have mostly looked at other parts of the brain, leaving the cerebellum's role in cognition and mood during aging comparatively unexplored.

This notice funds basic human and animal-model studies, plus secondary analyses of data aging and Alzheimer's studies have already collected, aimed at the cerebellum's physiology and neuroanatomy in cognitive โ€ฆ

Basic human and animal-model research, and secondary analyses of existing aging and Alzheimer's disease datasets, on the cerebellum's contributions to cognitive and affective function in healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, including work treating the cerebellum as a target for interventions that promote cognitive reserve or delay onset.
