<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif">Dr. Wilber’s research is directed at understanding how we get oriented in space so we can navigate our environment and what goes wrong when this system fails. He is currently
exploring why Alzheimer’s disease leads to difficulty navigating new surroundings, what brain changes may underlie getting lost, and treatments for reversing these impairments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
