Researcher Bio
I am interested in brain structure and function particularly the hippocampal region. Therefore, the main focus of my research has always been on "memory" function.
Top Papers
1) Dr Dennis Selko Publications.

2) Dr Karl Weisgraber publications.

What is the greatest void to date in our knowledge of Alzheimer's Disease?
Our way of thinking.
What are the top three papers (not yours) you have read recently?
I think every article is unique and a source of information.
If resources were not limited, what research projects would you pursue?
I am involved in the right research project at the moment.
What is your leading hypothesis?
Stroke/TIA may be one of various factors that can cause vascular dementia and possibly Alzheimer's Disease.
What piece of missing evidence would help prove it?
At this point, I am working on it
What is your fallback position?
I have none.
