On Your Mind Neuroscience Podcast

This week on the On Your Mind Neuroscience podcast: Alzheimers and the Garbage Barge.  Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders are associated with amyloid plaques- aggregates of misfolded, aberrant proteins – throughout the brain. Our paper this week builds on the hypothesis that too much amyloid precursor protein (APP) is released from neurons because of impaired lysosome (Garbage Barge) functioning using Neu1 knockout mice. Also on our minds this week are computer models of peer review, medical hoaxes, and Vally-speak. For full show notes and links to everything we've talked about today head to www.OnYourMind.ca
