An agent-based model to investigate microbial initiation of Alzheimer’s via the olfactory system

Abstract Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disease. A novel agent-based modelling framework was developed in NetLogo 3D to provide fundamental insights into the potential mechanisms by which a microbe (eg. Chlamydia pneumoniae) may play a role in late-onset AD. The objectiv...
