项目摘要
Project Summary/Abstract
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a devastating disease with enormous unmet medical need. It is likely necessary to
understand, detect, and treat Alzheimer’s Disease earlier in disease development. Patients often exhibit aberrant
neural activity even before pathology or cognitive decline. Amyloid-beta (Ab) and tau can perturb neural activity,
and activity can affect their levels, thus aberrant neural activity may be both a symptom and cause of Ab and
tau, forming a vicious cycle. This project will investigate the hypothesis that aberrant neural activity is a primary
driver of and tractable therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s Disease, and that targeting it can rescue cognitive
deficits. There is a lack of direct evidence on the causative role of aberrant neural activity in Alzheimer’s Disease,
let alone the mechanisms, a significant gap in our understanding. Human imaging methods have low resolution,
and human studies cannot use precise perturbations to test direct cause and effect. Yet, stimulation therapies
are used on patients, using limited data to inform protocols, resulting in promising but inconclusive results.
This
project will use cutting-edge systems neuroscience techniques to conduct single-cell resolution examination and
perturbation of the brain to determine the mechanistic role of aberrant neural activity in cognitive decline in
Alzheimer’s Disease mice, and to reverse it. To identify aberrant single-neuron and network dynamics, 2-photon
Ca2+ imaging will be used in Alzheimer’s Disease mice during cognitive tasks over disease progression. This will
be the first longitudinal study of single-neuron activity in Alzheimer’s Disease mice during cognitive tasks, and
the first lifelong study of neural activity. To discover activity-based anatomical connectivity changes, activity-
dependent neuron projection labeling will be used to label neurons activated during learning and recall. Tissue-
clearing will enable imaging of projections across the entire brain in 3D, along with Ab and tau, over disease
progression. This will discover specific brain regions, circuits, and cells that change in parallel to Ab and tau and
correlate with cognition. These will be the first brain-wide, activity-dependent projection tracing experiments, and
the first longitudinal study of anatomical connectivity changes in Alzheimer’s Disease. To test the functional role
of aberrant activity and to restore cognition, single-cell optogenetics will be used to recapitulate or reverse the
activity patterns changed in Alzheimer’s Disease, and circuits will be modulated to correct connectivity.
Optogenetics will be used in AD mice to determine if AD therapies improve cognition through effects on neural
activity. The investigator will receive technical, conceptual, and career development training from a mentoring
team of leading experts in world-class labs at Stanford University in preparation for transition to a faculty position.
This work will discover fundamental mechanisms of Alzheimer’s Disease. It will result in unprecedented, high-
resolution, comprehensive data on changes in neural activity and connectivity during Alzheimer’s Disease that
will identify the specific circuits, cells, and activity dynamics that drive cognitive decline, which will help inform
intelligent design of new, precise, and earlier biomarkers, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic treatments.
项目总结/摘要
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种具有巨大未满足的医疗需求的毁灭性疾病。可能有必要

甚至在病理或认知能力下降之前就开始了神经活动。β淀粉样蛋白(Ab)和tau可以干扰神经活动,
活动可以影响它们的水平,因此异常的神经活动可能既是Ab的症状,也是Ab的原因,
