...hippocampus begins to malfunction early in Alzheimer's disease. Imaging studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's typically have smaller than average hippocampi.

Who am I? But it's not just with Alzheimer's: the hippocampus also goes at least somewhat awry in normal memory loss.

...will provide “significant” funding over three years, with the possibility of an extension at the end, for research in the laboratory of Harvard School of Public Health Professor Laurie H. Glimcher ’72. Glimcher’s groundbreaking research revealed a new pathway that regulates the cells that build bones, and indicated that a particular disruption in this pathway in mice resulted in the acceleration of bone formation. Her research could open new avenues to treat or prevent osteoporosis, a disease that affects approximately 75 million people worldwide according to a statement issued...
