Congrats to our Speakers and Keynote for making the ABI Symposium a sweeping success! None of which would be possible w/o the generous support of our donors. Read more about the day's insights on the Neuro-Immune Axis of the Aging Brain #Alzheimers : picower.mit.edu/news/immune-in…
A major MIT investigation provides a single cell transcriptome + epigenome atlas across brain regions & finds that resilience against Alzheimer’s progression depends on preserving epigenomic stability. #Alzheimer #epigenetics Read more here!: picower.mit.edu/news/alzheimer…
Join us August 5th at 4 PM in the Picower Seminar Room (46-3310) for Ramon Sun's (@RCSunlab) ABI Seminar series talk on metabolic drivers of Alzheimer's Disease.
The Aging Brain Initiative is excited to support 5 new research projects at MIT through seed grant funding! Read more here: picower.mit.edu/news/aging-bra…
Tonight, the MIT Club of Northern California is hosting Prof Li-Huei Tsai. Please join for, "Dementia: What we know, and the latest research using non-invasive methods" April 16th, 9 PM (ET), 6 PM (PT) Register here: alumcommunity.mit.edu/topics/23438/e… (proceeds go to the MIT Club)
Meet the neighbors🧠: picower.mit.edu/news/neurons-n… The multifaceted roles for glia in learning, memory and diseases like #Alzheimers
With 179 donors, we are getting closer to our goal of 300 donations for MIT's 24 HR challenge. Please join us to reach our goal today: mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br… If we meet the challenge, three generous families will donate an additional $30,000 to the ABI.
It's MIT's 24 Challenge time!! Give ANY amount here: mit24hourchallenge.mightycause.com/story/Aging-Br… 🧠💜

Take a quick look back on the work of the scientists of the Aging Brain Initiative in 2024 - and get excited for advances to come in 2025: picower.mit.edu/sites/default/…
Season's Greetings and Happy New Year from all of us at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory! As we reflect on the discoveries of 2024, we wish you a holiday season full of beauty and a 2025 full of wonder. vimeo.com/1038953105 #neuroscience #brain
📖New book alert: "Longevity Hubs" led by @MIT_AgeLab and including an essay by @DrLiHueiTsai looks at how innovation hotspots for the world's aging population may prove to be of vital economic and strategic importance in the years ahead. mitpress.mit.edu/9780262049214/… #aging
Brain waves, gamma power and a 'car wash' to reduce amyloid in the brain - listen to CBC radio's recent podcast interview with Li-Huei Tsai and Jonathan Kipnis (starts at 34:45). #Alzheimer cbc.ca/radio/quirks/n…
Thank you @psycheloui for a fascinating talk on "New Musical Experiences and Their Connections to Cognitive and Brain Health" at our first ABI seminar series of the academic year. We are happy you had a moment for art appreciation in MIT's Building 46!
