What does it mean to inherit the possibility of dementia?
On November 12, the Brain Health Benefit: Roots of Innovation brings together #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Kolker; Annika Roll, co-founder of Cure MAPT FTD and a member of a family living with inherited dementia; MacArthur Fellow and stem-cell pioneer Sally Temple; and the next generation of brain scientists. Their stories follow the path from a disease-causing gene, to the uncertainty faced by families, to the human tissue and stem-cell models that make discovery possible. Proceeds sustain the Mount Sinai Neuropathology Brain Bank & Research CoRE—critical infrastructure for FTD, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, PSP, CTE, ALS, and related disorders.
