What symptoms do people tell their GP about when they are developing dementia? Lots of non-cognitive symptoms - and in a highly diverse population we can see that it is culturally influenced. Recognising this is key to equitable diagnosis alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

Really excited this is out! We found polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were beneficial in models of C9orf72 FTD/ALS and the greatest benefit occurred when increasing levels specifically within neurons @ukdri.ac.uk @uclqsion.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk @cziscience.bsky.social rdcu.be/ebbZf

This was so powerful - few of us can imagine the reality of having a family devastated by familial FTD - and the response of Jordan/Cian to their own risk is incredibly inspiring. Find them in instagram/TikTok as the FTD Brothers and follow their story…!

Ha ha. I am indecently excited by this! I think there are so many amazing neuroscience stories that don’t get told it’s great to be able to show some of them off! I hope the kids (and adults!) that read this will be as excited as I am about the way the brain works.

This is really interesting. Known for a long time lysosomal enzymes are secreted- it’s the principle of cross correction for lysosomal Storage diseases. However the idea lysosomes are released or degrading plaques extracellularly is 🤯. Do they differ from EVs/EPs? www.cell.com/cell-reports...
