Patterns of Neural Network Degradation Differ in Alzheimer's Disease and Normal Aging
Functional MRI may someday be able to distinguish the neurodegenerative changes related to early Alzheimer's disease from those of normal aging.
Biography
Jasmeer studied biology and philosophy at Yale University, prior to earning his M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Emory University. He completed his residency in Adult Neurology at Partners, followed by a clinical and research fellowship in Memory Disorders at MGH and in the laboratory of Reisa Sperling, MD, MMSc. He joined the MGH Memory Disorders Unit as an attending in mid-2013, and completed an MMSc in Clinical and Translational Investigation from HMS in 2015. His research focuses on improving imaging biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), and applying functional and molecular imaging techniques to study how targeted network degeneration in AD leads to memory loss.
