The findings are expected to advanceadavnce mechanistic understanding of both biobehavioral and neurobiologfical pathways leading to NPS. Findings may also provide insight into novel therapeutic targets that can be advanced into interventions to treat and prevent the development of NPS in AD and/or ADRD.
