Not long to go now before the start of day 3 of the #ANZMNDsym. A great lineup of speakers. Thank you MND Research Australia and FightMND for putting together a great program.

Does hypothalamus size matter in #ALS? Patients with low hypothalamic volume with low BMI tend to lose fat mass and have increased risk for earlier death. Thank you to the #PALS and their friends and family who contributed to this work. doi.org/10.1111/ene.15…🧠European Academy of Neurology (1/4)

We are one step closer to understanding this tiny #blackbox as we begin to interrogate disease impact on the very diverse cell types 🧫 of the human hypothalamus and across #ALS disease subtypes. For updates on our progress, keep checking back UQ Medicine AIBN Research UQ News (3/4)

Early steps into understanding risk for weight loss and faster disease progression in some patients with #ALS. Possible only through collaborations between the Steyn_Lab Ngo Lab Group Thomas Shaw Cory Holdom Pamela McCombe, AProf Henderson, Dr Fripp @MarkusBarth2 Christine Guo (4/4)

Sharing perspective on participation in research to benefit understanding of #MND. So glad to be back to #F2F meetings. Thank you to MND & Me Foundation for providing this opportunity.

Excited to address the Year 1 Med Students for the first time in 2023; I always enjoy seeing their evolution in thinking over 18 months months of intensive #Biomed studies. Congrats to all for making it this far and I’m looking forward to getting to know you all UQ Medicine

Was a pleasure working with Chris McDermott Shyuan Ngo 🧠🔬🧫👩🏻‍🍳😻 @ldupuis_Inserm Albert and Ed on this review. Main message - metabolic changes in #ALS are complex, important, and a potential target for improving outcomes in disease.

Congratulations to all of the amazing research teams funded and FightMND for the amazing work that they do. My commiserations also to the fantastic #MND research teams not funded this year. Stay strong, don’t give up.

Looking forward to a great 34th ALS/MND Meeting. Always amazed at how this community of researchers and clinicians have grown over the past years. Thank you Ammar Al-Chalabi and the organising committee for finally bringing us all back together

Congratulations Jeryn Chang on proving a very easy to follow overview on brain responses to visual stimuli of food in people with #MND. Thank you also to the organisers of #alsmndsymp for this opportunity to share research from School of Biomedical Sciences UQ UQ Medicine and the Ngo Lab Group Steyn_Lab

Enjoying a very excellent overview on #heterogeneity in #MND by Steve Vucic. So happy to see attention on #PLS AND #PMA - thank you for reminding us of the importance of recognising these subtypes in clinical trials #alsmndsymp

Poor government funds rates means researchers have to rely more and more on philanthropy for their support. But as the economy tightens such funding is becoming harder to generate. Charities such as ours should be supplementing government funding not replacing it!

People living with #MND #ALS lose their ability to speak - do we ever stop to think of the impact this has? These champs are going ‘48hrs without Words’ to show those living with MND that they are not alone. Researchers are in their corner. To donate, follow the links 👇

Just finished my reeducation on the complexity of the human and mouse #hypothalamus by Giles Yeo - thank you for visiting us and sharing some of your discoveries on the human #hypomap. I’ll post the link to your nature paper as soon as I find it!!! A must read 📖
