The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) has awarded $2.3 million to a team of UCI researchers who are studying how air pollution drives the degeneration of neurons and how Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk genes interact with such environmental contaminants to exacerbate its neurotoxicity. AD is the most common cause of dementia among the elderly and is an apparent public health challenge in the U.S. as well as many other countries.
