"Are we looking in the wrong place for answers to Britain's mental health crisis?" - me, for The Spectator spectator.co.uk/article/are-we…

Our new preprint is out 🤓🧠 we systematically explore the range and nature of changed behaviours across the FTD clinical spectrum (bvftd and semantic dementia) and their association with changes in cognition and brain volume #ftd MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Masud Husain Cambridge FTD

Article on Frontotemporal #Dementia featuring Cambridge FTD thetimes.com/article/a03192…

Very excited to share the preprint of one of my main PhD projects! Huge thanks to Cambridge FTD and Matt Lambon Ralph for the supervision of my PhD and to my fantastic co-authors Siddharth Ramanan, PhD Matthew Rouse Thomas Cope Ajay Halai and my mentor, the brilliant Karalyn Patterson! Read 👇

Ramanan et al. examine the evolution of clinical phenotypes in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or FTLD, and show that behavioural and cognitive profiles of individuals with the same initial diagnosis can converge or diverge over time. tinyurl.com/4c6ymf2x

New paper – Matt Rouse (Matthew Rouse) and colleagues assembled a neuropsychological battery to explore social-semantic knowledge in #FTD and its relation to general conceptual knowledge: doi.org/10.1093/brainc…

I'm thrilled to have been awarded the Milo Keynes Prize. I'm very grateful to my supervisors Matt Lambon Ralph, James Rowe Cambridge FTD and Karalyn Patterson for all the support!

You don't need high tech to get accurate diagnostic separation of dementia Simple item-level analysis of low-tech ("paper & pencil") short carer questionnaire gives high accuracy From Alex Murley NIHR Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre N=2500 people, 11 conditions alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… @alazassociation

Rouse et al. report that social- and non-social semantic memory are degraded in frontotemporal dementia following bilateral anterior temporal lobe atrophy. Read at: buff.ly/3BKsOsr Matthew Rouse Ajay Halai Siddharth Ramanan, PhD Peter Garrard Cambridge FTD MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit

Investigating semantic cognition in people with lvPPA, Shalom Henderson et al. report 2 key findings: Patients’ performance declines in line with increasing semantic control demands & pattern of decline is true for both verbal & non-verbal semantic tasks: doi.org/10.1093/brainc…

Rouse et al (Matthew Rouse) explore the similarities and differences in behavioural profiles between behavioural-variant and semantic dementia subtypes of frontotemporal dementia, and their neuropsychological and neuroanatomical underpinnings: doi.org/10.1093/brain/…

Delighted that our study exploring behaviour changes across FTD is now published in Brain 🧠

Henderson et al. developed a checklist to screen for primary progressive aphasia using picture description tasks, achieving high accuracy in identifying cases & distinguishing motor vs. lexico-semantic subtypes. Read at:buff.ly/40YCMPb @HendersonShalom@mrccbu@CambridgeFTD

Thanks to all the people who've been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.

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…

Last chance to apply to Summer CAMP at the Cambridge University!! A great opportunity for undergrads to flex those research proposal muscles to prep for PhD applications! psychiatry.cam.ac.uk/study-us/summe….
