The special issue that I co-edited for Experimental Brain Research on the topic of dopamine and impulsivity is out now! It includes 7 articles that advance our understanding of factors contributing to indiv diffs in DA transmission and resulting impulsive behaviors link.springer.com/collections/gj…

Happy to be teaming up with AD/PD - Advances in Science & Therapy and Neurology and Neuroscience | Karger again for another virtual journal club! This time we'll cover a paper on #Alzheimer, brain atrophy, and ATN -- if this is up your scientific alley or you'd like to learn more, check out the link below and consider joining us!

Join us and Marit Ruitenberg Nira Cedres AD/PD - Advances in Science & Therapy for the 2nd AD/PD Live #JournalClub webinar on #brainatrophy and the ATN classification in #AlzheimersDisease. The discussion centers on a paper published in #NeurodegenerDis. 📅 Apr 3, 2024, 16:00 (ZH) ✍ ow.ly/ESYy50R2WH6

Next week several of my and Judith Schomaker students will present their thesis/internship work at the #AAICNeuro conference, and we couldn't be more excited for them! Read more about their projects on AD and PD (and how they prep for the conference) here: universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2024/0…

Did you know that in addition to the characteristic affective symptoms, depression can also result in changes in the motor domain? We wrote a blog for Leiden Psychology to acknowledge the breadth of functions that depression may affect leidenpsychologyblog.nl/articles/more-…

Our latest work, lead by @VKoppelmans, suggests that manual motor measures may have discriminatory value for Alzheimer's classification. Check out our paper in Neurology and Neuroscience | Karger to learn more about the potential impact of motor function in this population! doi.org/10.1159/000539…

We're recruiting a PhD candidate to study ways to improve neurocognitive functioning in #multiplesclerosis 🧠 Join our international team 🇳🇱🇨🇭🇺🇸 and come work with @p_zuber_ Hanneke Hulst and myself on this project involving behavioral and mri techniques! universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…

🤓 Mark your calendars for the next AD/PD™ Webinar. This webinar will delve into the latest novelties in the treatment and lifestyle interventions of #NeurodegenerativeDiseases. Speakers: Dr. Suzanne Hendrix, Dr. Galvin James and Dr. Philip Scheltens Moderator: Dr. Marit

Next month @VKoppelmans and myself will discuss our latest AD paper during the AD/PD - Advances in Science & Therapy Virtual Journal Club session, hope to see you there!

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial Brain If you agree with the sentiments please RT. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/issue/14…

Sharing our latest article published in Journal of Parkinson's Disease! We found that practice effects on neuropsychological tests can serve as predictors of future cognitive decline in people with #Parkinsons. As such, they may aid early detection and tailored treatment doi.org/10.1177/187771…

As we age, we move slower and less precisely—but how much, exactly? We analyzed one of the largest datasets on motor control to date. Findings: Reaction time: –1.2 ms/year Movement time: –2.3 ms/year Precision: –0.02°/year tinyurl.com/f9v66jut

🧠 The intersection of #autoimmunity and #neurodegeneration is gaining attention—and for good reason. Join Dr. Marina Jendrach, Dr. Wesley Brooks, and Dr. Marit Ruitenberg as they dive into emerging research that could reshape how we understand and treat Alzheimer’s disease.
