Excited taking part in todayās symposium organised by Mario A Parra as part of his network, with colleagues & collaborators from Peking University to discuss harmonisation of cross-cultural & inclusive neurocognitive assessment, including some of our previous & upcoming work.


Excellent slide from Mario A Parra demonstrating utility of the visual short term memory binding task as a cross-cultural neurocognitive assessment tool for Alzheimerās Disease.


Now an excellent summary from Tam J Watermeyer on the work our B.I.N.D group has done/is doing including published remote validation of VSTMB, a version in Swahili, remote data I presented at AAIC24, and populations living with learning disabilities. With Mario A Parra


Now an excellent and thought provoking talk from Lynsey Stewart (she/her) on dementia assessments and risk in autistic folk.


With deep humility and admiration, we wrote this obituary for Dr. Lopera, a sensitive, compassionate neurologist and human being, and one of the foremost research leaders worldwide. A role model for many of us. Long life to his legacy. Javier AgustĆn SebastiĆ”n IbaƱez Randall Bateman Nature Aging


In memory of Dr. Francisco Lopera (1951ā2024), who was a member of LAC-CD, we honor his pioneering work in Alzheimer's research and his lasting legacy in neuroscience š t.ly/qQvk8 Grupo de Neurociencias de Antioquia BrainLat UAI Centro de Neurociencias Cognitivas Global Brain Health Institute Atlantic Fellows Institute of Neuroscience, Trinity College (TCIN)
