Come to sunny Puerto Rico ☀️ #HAI2025 and see our poster on the predictive value of plasma pTau217 on tau PET at the regional level! Please check out Poster No.80 on Thursday 16th! 🧠 🩸

Working in this paper was a really fun collaboration with folks at AMYPAD, Lyduine Collij, Ariane Bollack, Gill Farrar and many others. This should be a helpful piece for people who want to understand Centiloids! alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Our paper finally appeared on modelling the effect of age on the BOLD fMRI response, one implication of which is that many age effects previously reported may be vascular rather than neural… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

🚨 Please check out our new paper on a double (triple?) dissociation between early AD pathology and cognition: frontal-parietal Aβ increases related to executive function (EF) decline, but not memory; temporal tau increases related to memory decline, but not EF! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

‼️I am recruiting integrative neuroscience PhD students (fully funded) for this coming cycle Fall 2025 at SUNY-Stony Brook University.🧑‍🎓Email me if you are interested in cognitive aging, Alzheimer’s disease, and neuroimaging! 🧠 RT is appreciated! www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/psyc... #neurojobs

Join us on Thursday to learn about the peer review system, how to effectively respond to reviews, and how to push back against unfair or biased comments 🙄 This is the first @blackinneuro.bsky.social & @reviewerzero.bsky.social collaboration – session led by @mattgoldrick.bsky.social and me!

Ahm, Cortex - I have questions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky

🚨I’m recruiting PhD students interested in neuroimaging of aging and Alzheimer’s disease to join my new lab at Stony Brook University. Deadline Dec 15. For anyone interested and going to #SfN2023, feel free to contact me! I’d love to chat in DC and answer any questions you may have! 🧠#neuroskyence

Check out our new paper in NIMG:Clinical 👇🏽 #neuroskyence #neurosky

Hello CNS Members! Please consider voting for our symposium on "Translating cognitive neuroscience into the preclinical realm of Alzheimer's disease". Organized by Hwamee Oh and presented by me, Heidi Jacobs, @mnrajah.bsky.social and Nathan Spreng! Please RT. #PsychSciSky #neuroskyence #compneurosky

🚨Our new paper on different pathways of tau -> neurodegeneration -> memory decline in normal aging and preclinical AD is now published in Annals of Neurology! 🧠
