April 22, 2021 (BRONX, NY) Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have designed an experimental drug that reversed key symptoms of Alzheimer s disease in mice. The drug works by reinvigorating a cellular cleaning mechanism that gets rid of unwanted proteins by digesting and recycling them. The study was published online today in the journal
Cell. Discoveries in mice don t always translate to humans, especially in Alzheimer s disease, said co-study leader Ana Maria Cuervo, M.D., Ph.D., the Robert and Renée Belfer Chair for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases, professor of developmental and molecular biology, and co-director of the Institute for Aging Research at Einstein. But we were encouraged to find in our study that the drop-off in cellular cleaning that contributes to Alzheimer s in mice also occurs in people with the disease, suggesting that our drug may also work in humans. In the 1990s, Dr. Cuervo discovered

David Sulzer s debut book, Music, Math, and Mind, offers a lively exploration of the mathematics, physics, and neuroscience that underlie music in a way that readers without scientific background can follow.
Dr. Sulzer, also known in the musical world as Dave Soldier, explains why the perception of music encompasses the physics of sound, the functions of the ear and deep-brain auditory pathways, and the physiology of emotion. He delves into topics such as the math by which musical scales, rhythms, tuning, and harmonies are derived, from the days of Pythagoras to technological manipulation of sound waves. Sulzer makes accessible a vast range of material-styles from around the world to canonical composers to hip-hop, the history of experimental music, and animal music by songbirds, cetaceans, bats, and insects.
