Description:
In Alzheimer’s disease, the brain shows accumulations of toxic proteins such as amyloid-β (red) and tau (yellow). Brain cell types shown here include astrocytes (green), blood vessels (blue), neurons (white), and microglia (cyan).
Bio:
The Hof lab uses classical neuropathology and modern quantitative detection to investigate neuronal susceptibility in normal aging and in neuropsychiatric disease. We also study mammalian brain evolution, particularly in cetaceans and great apes.
