But how does reward processing impact our decision-making? Chris studies how receiving a reward - or not - might change the next decision we make. By studying different dopamine circuits , we can understand how the brain tracks whether an outcome is expected and plan our next decisions.

Don’t you hate when you buy something from a vending machine and it gets stuck? Dopamine tells your brain that the outcome wasn’t what you expected. You've probably heard about dopamine as the "feel-good hormone", but it does so much more!

And even more importantly, how can we slow or stop this from happening? Nikki studies the impact of alcohol on the aging brain and how pathological tau protein might be behind increased risk for dementia later in life.

How does drinking alcohol shape the aging brain? @neuronikki.bsky.social studies how heavy drinking impacts neurons as we age. Research has shown that alcohol use disorder (AUD) in middle age increases the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia - but how?

"To me, it’s all about extending a person’s quality of life and getting the most years we can disease free. I hope this answers your question!" -Allison

Continued: "In my opinion, I think early diagnostics are important because there are lifestyle changes proven to decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s and can perhaps slow down the progression of the disease."

investNscience @investnscience.bsky.social · 13/06/2025

Thank you for your question. Please see Allison's response below: "While unfortunately the drugs that do exist for Alzheimer’s are geared towards reducing symptoms and not “curing” the disease, there are lots of researchers developing therapeutics aimed at treating the root cause of Alzheimer’s. "

Could a simple blood test help diagnose Parkinson's or Alzheimer's disease? Allison studies how neurodegenerative diseases develop with an eye towards tools for earlier detection. #neurosky #academicsky #parkinsons #alzheimers #dementia #earlydetection #diagnosis

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, *and* a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!
