Save the date! Please join Dementia Researcher and our Innovation Team this Thursday, to find out more about our innovation programmes, which aim to deliver products and innovations for people with dementia. See below for details:

Great to see our study shared! It helps us understand how individuals with high dementia risk and significant neuropathology show cognitive resilience in the presymptomatic stage. Led by Xulin Liu and supported by Alzheimer's Society

fMRI is key in studying brain ageing & dementia, but not all differences are neuronal! @Rikhens @corticalpete @camcan_tweets et al show how analysis matters, helping us better understand brain health in ageing and dementia! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hb…

There’s more mixed news on another Alzheimer’s disease drug as donanemab is approved by the MHRA but is not recommended by NICE for use on the NHS.

A motivated team at DPUK has been changing the dementia research landscape for a decade. We’re proud of our infrastructure which accelerates progress in research. Together our team is making significant steps towards a world free from dementia. zurl.co/eoTD

I am recruiting for 2 posts to join our FTD research! A research assistant or postdoc working on PET and coordination of a new study: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49140/ A biostatistician to work on blood-based markers in ONFIRE: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49134/ Deadline 8th Dec - share widely!

🚨 Brain Age vs Direct Models in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) 🚨 A thread 🧵 1/ Brain age is a powerful indicator of general brain health, trained on massive datasets. But does this translate to better prediction for specific outcomes, like AD? Preprint by Trevor Tan :

"Large language models surpass human experts in predicting neuroscience results" w Xiaoliang (Ken) Luo and BrainGPT.org. LLMs integrate a noisy yet interrelated scientific literature to forecast outcomes. nature.com/articles/s4156… 1/8

The impact factor is a bad thing. But this is not the fight we want right now. We are trying something amazing and it’s working. We don’t want authors or other journals to fear trying it. Clarivate know they have this control and are using it to squash innovation. It is bullying.

Are you a researcher with ideas for products to support people with dementia, but don’t know where to start? Apply to our Innovation Launchpad Programme by 13th of January! We have teamed up with Good Innovation to deliver support designed to help you to validate and pitch

Exercise training in older adults improves cognition🏋️News: now we demonstrated there's benefits for language!🤸 Randomized-controlled trial shows exercise leads to faster language comprehension in monolingual older adults -mediated by fitness increases: doi.org/10.1080/138255…

A simple blood test to help detect signs of dementia decades before it develops is being rolled out across the UK by the University of Cambridge. Part of a new study, the researchers are backed by @RacingDementia, the charity founded by Formula 1 racing legend Sir Jackie

A huge privilege to participate in the Research at ARUK debate, discussing hope for future treatments for devastating dementias but also practical barriers to delivering current therapies both in NHS CPFT and privately Spire Healthcare that need to be overcome for a true cure

I am taking the decision today not to attend this year’s Society for Neuroscience (SfN) meeting in protest at the USA’s treatment of the rest of the world (except Russia!) and especially Ukraine. The USA cannot succeed alone in science, economics, war or anything else and needs to learn this fast.

am honoured to be appointed an National Institute for Health and Care Research Senior investigator. I look forward to helping provide research leadership to the NIHR Faculty, and promoting the next generation of researchers working to improve outcomes for patients UCLH UK Dementia Research Institute Alzheimer's Research UK NIHR UCLH Biomedical Research Centre

I am pleased The Guardian showed the King's delight at our study of parallel transmit 7T MRI in Epilepsy. I am similarly delighted that it enabled a third of patients with negative conventional imaging to be offered a curative surgical treatment onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ep…

Some people with high amyloid and tangle load are more resilient to cognitive decline than others. A new synaptic protein measure could help explain why. Stanford University Hamilton Oh Tony Wyss-Coray @Brainresilience ow.ly/W2Xh50VuZbC

This June, I'm proud to support the #ForgetMeNotAppeal. As a researcher studying brain resilience, I see how people at risk of dementia can build cognitive strength via lifestyle & support. Your funding drives vital research and care. Together, we're building hope Alzheimer's Society
