Over the last decade, the BU ADRC NC has been the catalyst for transformational research on post-traumatic neurodegeneration and changed scientific understanding of neurotrauma as an environmental risk factor for AD\/ADRD. The Neuropathology Core has also shown that exposure to repetitive head impacts (RHI) alters the deposition of beta-amyloid, alpha-synuclein, and TDp-43. Currently, the Neuropathology Core is collaborating with multiple ADRC&#8217;s and centers (UCSF, Mayo Clinic, Mount Sinai, MGH, UT San Antonio) to continue this ground-breaking research.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The aims of the Neuropathology Core are:<\/strong><br \/>\n1. Conduct state-of-the-art diagnostic neuropathological evaluation<br \/>\n2. To serve as a local and national resource to distribute CNS tissue, biospecimens including DNA, and digital slide images to qualified investigators to facilitate innovative collaborations<br \/>\n3. To provide deep neuropathological phenotyping on all brain donors including using innovative methods for quantitative and qualitative assessment of non-traditional pathologies<br \/>\n4. To provide local and national leadership to foster innovative multi-ADRC collaborations on AD\/ADRD research and train the next generation of AD\/ADRC investigators<\/p>\n<p><strong>Core Leaders
