Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s disease, the most common form of dementia, makes up roughly 70% of all cases. Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s causes progressive neurodegeneration \u0026ndash; a hallmark of the disease which is thought to initiate and track cognitive decline in those suffering with it. But while increasingly accurate biochemical markers are helping diagnose Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s disease earlier, treatments to stall the disease in its early stages remain elusive.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/early-alzheimers-research-team-awarded-38m-nih-grant-precision-robotics\u0022\u003ERead the rest of the story\u0026nbsp;here\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The team will use the technology to uncover the emergence of cellular and circuit dysfunction during the progression of Alzheimer\u2019s."}],"uid":"36123","created_gmt":"2022-10-12 22:08:00","changed_gmt":"2022-10-12 22:09:19","author":"Catherine Barzler","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2022-10-12T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2022-10-12T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"662052":{"id":"662052","type":"image","title":"Forest Rowan Alz","body":null,"created":"1665600095","gmt_created":"2022-10-12 18:41:35","changed":"1665602266","gmt_changed":"2022-10-12 19:17:46","alt":"A robotically controlled glass electrode enables single-cell electrical recordings in living brain tissue.
