Background: Sleep disturbance is common among patients with neurodegenerative diseases. For instance, patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) experience excessive daytime sleepiness and sundowning. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) features hyperarousal and decreased homeostatic sleep drive. Sleep disturbance generally precedes disease-defining symptoms, often by decades, suggesting that dysregulation of sleep is...

The importance of histology to neuropathological research cannot be overstated. As a neurology lab, the histological characterization of proteopathies (including tauopathies, Aβ-amyloidosis, synucleiopathies, etc.) is core to our operations. From determining severity/progression of the pathology to identifying areas of selective vulnerability, immunohistochemistry and microscopy are critical tools for...

Despite intensive research on AD, effective disease-modifying treatments remain elusive, and novel tools for non-invasively assessing early brains lesions are needed. Our lab confirmed that the brain structures that consistently exhibit the earliest neuropathologic changes in AD, including neuronal loss, are not classically AD-associated cortical regions, but...
