Speaker bio:
Alison R Weiss, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor in the Division of Neuroscience at the Oregon National Primate Research Center and in the Department of Neurology at Oregon Health & Science University. Dr. Weiss’ research program broadly seeks to map the neural circuitry involved in learning and memory impairments during aging and with neurodegenerative disease. Cognitive assessment using positive reinforcement training represents a core component of her research program. To map alterations in brain circuitry corresponding with cognitive deficits, she employs a combination of structural MRI, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), resting-state fMRI, and positron emission tomography (PET) brain imaging. Dr. Weiss’ current studies are focused particularly on neuroinflammation and glymphatic function during the transition from middle-age to senescence.
