Take a closer look at neurodegeneration; what it means, why it happens, and how it affects memory, behaviour, and everyday living. This session will introduce diseases such as Alzheimer’s and other related conditions, helping to make a complex topic easier to understand

We'll have talks from the following researchers:

- Chloe Flitton (PhD student at the University of Dundee), 'A protein behind Parkinson’s Disease'

- Dr. David Koss (Lecturer in Neuroscience at the University of Dundee), 'Gone but not forgotten: Unlocking Dementia with donated brain tissue.'

- Lauren O'Neill (Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Neuroscience at the University of Dundee), 'The brain's energy crisis: before symptoms even start'.

- Athina Grigoriou (PhD student at the University of Dundee), 'Tiny cells, big clues'.
