Sex differences in the application of auditory and visual stimulation to alter neuropathology in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease
@ Atlanta VA Medical Center
As a research scientist, I investigate how non-invasive audio-visual neurostimulation at specific frequencies (aka flicker) alters microglia's engulfment of amyloid plaques, and microglia morphology in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
