| Popis: | Dr. Robert Terry (January 14, 1924–May 20, 2017) studied normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease for more than five decades. He was at a visionary neuropathologist who trained generations of researchers in the field of neurodegenerative disorders and was always at the cutting edge of incorporating ever advancing technology into the fields of neuroscience and neuropathology. He was among the first to study plaques and tangles using electron microscopy, described the effects of aluminum on neurons, and collaborated to develop new approaches to study synaptic pathology in the context of cognitive impairment in Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Terry made indelible contributions to our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In memory of Bob: veteran, physician-scientist, collaborator, friend, husband, and father. |
