A Conversation with Scott Small.

Abstract

Dr. Small: Well, the questions really were about Alzheimer’s and aging. We’ve now expanded to include other disorders, but they’re really organized around the hippocampus and that reflected, in many ways, my background. I trained in part with Eric Kandel, verymuch interested in cell biology. But then in medical school residency that was layered over with clinical questions and it seemed like a good way to start posing mechanistic questions.
