چکیده
PROVIDENCE – A unique curated multimedia art exhibit on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) opened in the Cohen Gallery at the Granoff Center for the Creative Arts at Brown on July 16. As you enter the gallery, the visual expression of the ravages of AD by neuroscientist PETER J. SNYDER, PHD, titled Collapse of a Memory Circuit, draws in the visitor by its size, scope and fluidity. It looks like a giant 3-D mobile of several dozen glazed ceramic neurons suspended on vintage rope and antique block-andtackle (which Dr. Snyder found on Ebay). A woodturner and ceramicist, Dr. Exhibit features work of 5 RI artists
