SUSTAINING THE MIND: SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIPSDid you know that Alzheimer's disease alone affects 15 million people worldwide? Maybe you or a family member or friend is one of those people. As the population ages and this number increases, the need for neurological and neurodegenerative disease research becomes increasingly important. Brandeis University researchers in over 50 laboratories are already pioneering strides in the Eield of brain-‐related disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Scientists in the areas of neurodevelopment, neurodevelopment disorders and neurodegeneration are trying to understand the fundamental biological processes underlying brain function. These Brandeis professors and students are dedicated to the basic research that has already led to breakthroughs in our understanding of neurological diseases. Educating tomorrow's scientists is important; that's why investing in scientiEic research and scholarships at Brandeis is an investment in the future. Plus Brandeis is committed to ensuring that it meets the Einancial needs of students doing outstanding work in science's fastest-‐growing arena. We invite you to join the Brandeis National Committee's "Sustaining the Mind: ScientiEic Research and Scholarships" campaign to establish an important fund to foster research in neuroscience and neurodegenerative diseases, and to establish an endowed scholarship fund for students in the sciences. The vision and determination of a cadre of loyal supporters like you will help us reach our $3 million campaign goal and will ensure that Brandeis researchers and students are able to excel in their Eields of study and make important advancements in neuroscience.
