40% of people in aged care receive NO visitors says @nhmrc_cdpc’s #ProfSueKurrle. They are lonely and spent most of their day in their room. This is very sad. The experience of growing old should be positive. Sydney Dementia Network

Brilliant talk at OHBM from Marilena DeMayo on her work examining the metabolite GABA in children with Autism. Exciting results show a relationship with age that may mirror structural brain changes. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your spectroscopy outcomes! Brain & Mind Centre

Another brilliant talk from Sharon Naismith, AM, FASSA explaining the critical link between sleep and dementia at the 2019 Forefront Scientific Meeting. Looking forward to hearing about the role of circadian change from Prof Ron Grunstein who is up next! Brain & Mind Centre

More effective screening techniques and definitive studies linking biomarkers to sleep disturbance as well as low cost, high impact treatments are required to optimize cognitive function and reduce dementia risk in older adults - we have a lot of work to do Sharon Naismith, AM, FASSA!!

Is cannabis any good for sleep in dementia? Anastasia Suraev shows ForeFront that older people are using cannabis much more now. There may be promise for sleep and for neuroprotection. RCTs now required! Lambert Initiative Iain McGregor @cogsleep Camilla Hoyos Brain & Mind Centre

Terrific to be at ctad to hear the overall results of the CLARITY trial. Benefits in cognition, function, amyloid and tau PET, CSF and plasma and hippocampal volumes. Some considerations for APOE4 and also re. other neurodegenerative markers Australian Dementia Network - ADNeT Healthy Brain Ageing Program, University of Sydney

Lecanemab also seems to have positive benefits on health related quality of life & support person ‘burden’ plus may delay symptom decline by years. This is important for the field, for clinicians & ppl living with MCI/ early AD Mark Butler MP NEJM CTAD Dementia Australia
