Network Models of Neurodegeneration: Bridging Neuronal Dynamics and Disease Progression
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the accumulation of misfolded proteins and widespread disruptions in brain function. Computational modeling has advanced our understanding of these proc...

In this paper, we connect local damage to brain vasculature to global progression of toxic proteins leading to neurodegenerative diseases.
