Apathy and Reward Systems in Alzheimer's Disease
|
|
Dr. David Steffens
|
|
Apathy is a common feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that is related to functional decline, but its underlying neurobiology is poorly understood. In this application, we propose to use functional magnetic imaging and tasks that focus on the brain's reward system to examine apathy in AD and in late-life depression. Our aim is to identify new targets for intervention to improve apathy in patients with AD.
