Mammillary bodies with nerve cells (green) and amyloid deposits (red/blue) characteristic of Alzheimer's disease, which impair brain function. Dr Oliver Barnstedt has received an ERC Starting Grant which will enable his team to  use state-of-the-art imaging and physiological techniques to uncover and explain the mechanisms in the mammillary body.
