Computational modeling and physiological studies of neural form and function in the aging brain.
Category
FP7 Project with U.S. partner
Short name and number
ANAMNISIS (219622)
Area
Socio-economic Sciences and the Humanities
Description
Aging-induced memory deficiencies are caused by dysfunctions of various brain regions, including the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex. Currently not much is known about the anatomical and biophysical properties or the underlying molecular mechanisms that enable these regions to contribute to memory formation or the effects of aging on neural learning and storage capacity.
Participating Countries
Greece and United States.
Name of US Partner
