Continued learning, sociability, and exercise promote resilience to memory impairment in AD These factors also increase the activity of the RSC, an early site of dysfunction in AD Here we perform an RSC deep-dive to examine this interaction (PV and PNNs matter!) www.jneurosci.org/content/46/9...

A little late posting this, but I defended my PhD thesis earlier this year! Big thanks to Jonathan Epp for his mentorship and support over the years - I can’t recommend his lab enough 🇨🇦 Also very excited to share that I’ve started a postdoc at @inmed.bsky.social with Rosa Cossart! 🇫🇷

Female brain holds the key to understanding Alzheimer’s disease. Epp-Sargin lab collaboration led by @dterstege.bsky.social featuring @liisagalea.bsky.social is out in Science Advances. We uncover the mechanisms that make females more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s - in mouse models and human brains 🧠
