Mechanisms Underlying Olfactory Dysfunction in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease-Related Dementias
Funds research into why smell declines with age or Alzheimer's disease, aimed at using it as a health indicator and finding new treatment targets.
Smell often fades with age and with Alzheimer's disease, but why that happens, and whether it is useful for more than an occasional symptom, is still an open question.
This notice funds research into the mechanisms linking olfactory decline to aging and to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, spanning approaches from cellular and molecular work to imaging, physiology, omics and other new me…
Cellular, molecular, imaging, physiological, omics and other new-approach studies of the mechanisms linking olfactory decline to aging or to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, in older adults and animal models, aimed at using smell loss as a health and risk indicator and at identifying circuit-level targets for disease-modifying therapies.
