Mallar Chakravarty (Canada) will demonstrate new findings regarding how we can causally examine the role of pathology in models of neurodegeneration and how we can map the spread of pathological proteins in the brain. We further demonstrate how we can connect neurodegenerative phenotypes to better understand neurodegenerative patterns and how they may impact behaviours. We further demonstrate how these findings may be relevant to the human condition and may provide important information in the realm of drug discovery.
