The University of Arizona has received a $5 million gift from the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Research Foundation to establish an Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute, with the University of Arizona (UA) raising matching funds. The objective of the Institute is to uncover the neurobiological changes in the brain that cause memory changes as we age, and to unravel which changes are due to normal aging and which are due to disease states. By understanding the age-related brain and behavioral changes associated with aging, it will be possible to develop research directions that will lead to practical recommendations for pharmacological and lifestyle interventions for maintenance of cognitive health throughout life. The Institute will identify and promote cross-disciplinary and collaborative research initiatives in support of its objective.
