**GENERAL SUMMARY/ OVERVIEW STATEMENT**:
Aging changes the adult brain both structurally and functionally. Something about these changes increases the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease that affects millions of Americans and is the leading cause of dementia among adults. Clinical symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease such as memory loss, behavioral changes, and loss of bodily functions also worsen with age. Current treatments are unable to stop or reverse the progression of impairment. A major roadblock to effective treatment is our inability to disentangle how many age-related processes contribute to the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Understanding the interconnectedness of different biological processes and their role in manifesting symptoms is essential for designing and choosing effective treatments.
