This Health Research Program opportunity is with Dr. Andres Grosmark, Department of Neuroscience.
Project Description: As the world population ages Alzheimer's disease (AD) has gained epidemic proportions, yet our understanding of the precise mechanisms by which AD leaves specific memories vulnerable to forgetting remain unclear. One type of memory that is profoundly affected by AD is long-term spatial memory. In my lab students will have the opportunity to help develop, test and implement 3D virtual reality devices built specifically for testing long-term spatial memory on mouse models for AD. Students with backgrounds in coding/computer science and/or biology are encouraged to apply.
