Description:

Under the direction of Dr. Misha Zilberter, the postdoctoral scholar will work on dissecting the links between electrophysiological and metabolic function in the aging brain and their disruption during neurodegeneration. Specific focus within that context will be on elucidating the role of ApoE4 in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis.
