How Do We Learn, Retain & Recall Information and How Does Alzheimer’s Disease Degrade this Process?
This masterclass begins with an introduction into how neurons are structured, how they function, and how they can adapt to enable us to learn. Following this, you will look at how these critical neural functions are degraded in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and why such diseases are currently so debilitating and incurable.
Host: Harry is currently studying Medicine at Trinity College, Cambridge, having graduated with a First Class degree in Neuroscience. He is recipient of the Trinity College "Rashbass prize" for Medical Sciences and Physiology.
Duration: Suggested 1-2hrs, depending on the level of detail the student desires.
