Learning from a Guest Neuroscientist: Dr. Hussaini

7/17/2020

0 Comments

 
During Session 5, many students were lucky to learn from a professional neuroscientist, Dr. Hussaini, about Alzheimer's disease and his research regarding this disease and brain aging. Dr. Hussaini is currently a professor at Columbia University where his lab is working with rodents to identify neurons that are not functioning well and/or correctly during the early stages of Alzheimer’s and is looking at ways to block the progression of the disease. In the attached videos, you can see his presentation along with a short Q&A session with the students. The Reign of the Brain students are extremely grateful to have been able to learn from Dr. Hussaini, and thank you to him for taking the time to prepare and teach in this week's session. Below you can also find his email address where you can contact him to ask any questions you have about his presentation, his work, or any neuroscience-related inquiries!
