NEURO360‑aligned research by Muriah D. Wheelock and Brian A. Gordon at WashU Medicine has received a $5 million NIH grant to study how early‑life stress affects brain aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Their team will use lifespan‑spanning neuroimaging and longitudinal data to explore whether early adversity primes certain brain regions for degeneration later in life. This work could pave the way for early interventions to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and other age‑related cognitive disorders.
