Learn about citizen science and how you can contribute to national Alzheimer's research.

 

In Stall Catchers, we “catch” stalls by looking at movies from the brains of mice and scoring blood vessels as “flowing” or “stalled." With your help, we could potentially find an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease in just a few years—quick enough to make a difference in the lives of people who have the disease now.
