New paper led by VETSA investigator Dr. Carol Franz shows that associations of air pollution (PM2.5 and NO2) and cognition are moderated by APOE genotype: content.iospress.com/articles/journ… UC San Diego Department of Psychiatry UC San Diego Health

Dear Twitter friends. Please help Marie R. Vermeiren and me with completing this survey on the use of #tau #PET in clinic and trials. The results will be used in my #AAIC plenary and eventually published. Please also SHARE and/or RETWEET! alzheimercentrum.nl/the-future-rol…



NEW: Ambient air pollution is associated with risk of Alzheimer’s disease & related dementias. Puckett et al. now report evidence of a potential pathway: damage to the locus coeruleus caused by PM2.5 ➡️ buff.ly/4cZ6xE6 Jeremy Elman Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging UC San Diego School of Medicine USC University of Washington


I'm very excited to announce our new paper investigating genetic subtypes of Alzheimer's disease is out now in Journal of Alzheimer's Disease! This work is a central part of my K award, and it was an absolute pleasure collaborating with Aaditya Rangan and Nicholas Schork. content.iospress.com/articles/journ…

So appreciative to be able to be able to study chronic pain and dementia risk thanks to The National Institute on Aging (NIA) and to present this work with excellent colleagues at #AAIC2024 Jeremy Elman Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging The Panizzon Lab Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center

Our new paper on cognitive resilience against Alzheimer’s pathology is out now! We explore common conceptual issues (i.e., differentiating resilience vs. low risk) and identify cortical regions that confer resilience against p-tau/cortical thinning 🧠 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
