📣 Today is a turning point in what we know about brain health.

The results from the U.S. POINTER trial provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S.

The findings, shared for the first time today at #AAIC25, tested lifestyle programs that simultaneously targeted risk factors. The programs focused on:

✅👟Aerobic exercise
✅🧠Cognitive engagement
✅🥗Nutrition
✅🫀Health Monitoring

U.S. POINTER is the largest research commitment the Association has made in its history. The landmark results are testament to our commitment to our mission. Thank you to the study participants, our community, our donors, and the staff who made these findings possible.

🐳One week away from @AAIC2025, I will be in Toronto to meet old and new friends and colleagues! As we (@taviaevans @natvilortejedor ) step down from the Brain Imaging Genetics workgroup as chairs, our last missions are i) Immersive on "Basics of Genetic Analysis (https://t.co/pSOgv50M8j)", led by Tavia and Natalia, and ii) Alexa Pichet Binette and I will chair the FRS: "Integrative Investigation of Alzheimer's Disease and Aging Through Imaging Genetics and Proteomics"! Happy to connect for science and coffee!

We just wrapped up an incredible series of flash talks exploring how #AI is reshaping medical research and healthcare operations. Thank you to our presenters!

#2024CAIRColloquium

[Paul Thompson @PTenigma]

Andinet Enquobahrie (Kitware) explains how medical AI for clinical use has been helped by MONAI, an open source repository for high quality software that can be used in the highly regulated clinical environment. Start up companies often use it when their research staff is limited but they partner with academic institutions (plenary, Wake Forest CAIR #AI Day)

[Wake Forest AI @WakeForestAI]

Paul Thompson, PhD, of @USC delivered his keynote address to kick things off here at the #2024CAIRColloquium. His presentation covered how #AI is used in neuroimaging today, including challenges that can affect the accuracy and reliability of AI systems in medical imaging tasks.

We are growing, growing, growing! 🤖🌱

Wake Forest CAIR is happy to announce the availability of tenure-track faculty positions for researchers with an interest in #AI. This is a unique opportunity to join a dynamic center that is dedicated to revolutionizing #healthcare.

@PTenigma Thank you, Paul, it was very nice catching up and having the fruitful discussions as well!

[Da Ma @Da_Ma_DM]

Great workshop experience at #NeuroConnect 2024 thanks to the UNC EPIC team! Exiting topics and interesting discussions panel discussion, kick off keynote by Paul Thompson
@PTenigma with comprehensive overview of decades research on AI applications in Neuroimaging
