Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

Multiple pathological processes appear to have contributed to the hippocampal atrophy and hypometabolism in a patient that has taught me so much about limbic-predominant amnestic neurodegeneration: doi.org/10.1111/neup...

Another small FO electrode study on AD patients showing interictal spikes absent on scalp EEG (>95% of all IEDs). Spikes were also asymmetric, with a bias towards the hemisphere with higher tau PET signal in medial and lateral temporal lobes. 🧠 academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

Can't understate the importance of this paper by Deepti Putcha & LEADS... EOAD is not an "earlier" amnestic phenotype. It's a fundamentally different disease. It's about time dysexecutive phenotypes receive the recognition they deserve. alzres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Thanks, Bryan. We all need to stand together. People say "We are all in the same boat", but that is wrong. We are all in the same storm! Some of us are lucky to be in a boat, but others in our community are in the water, and we need to help rescue them as we can.

The mimicker of Alzheimer’s disease. Progressive amnestic syndrome with: 1) Hippocampal atrophy 2) Older age ~ 80+ 3) Negative AD biomarkers • Caution with amyloid positivity common with aging • Tau PET ideal but not covered • FDG-PET medial > lateral Temporal hypometabolism = supportive

Additional evidence of brain network dysfunction early on in AD biology - amyloid pathology intrinsically linked to hyperactivity in a vicious cycle. Each time neurons fire -> APP expressed. Aging neurons with mitochondrial dysfunction struggle with hyperactivity. academic.oup.com/brain/advanc...

Large-scale studies often report findings about what seems to be an unusual "young-onset, aggressive" subtype of AD. Clinically we call this dysexecutive AD. We clearly define the distinct clinical and biological features of this AD variant here --> academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...
