Our new paper @SciReports shows that pulse pressure (systolic - diastolic), and not just blood pressure, is important for cognitive health across the lifespan. We suggest that maintaining low pulse pressure may help to preserve cognition into old age. 🫀🧠

Could not be more proud of the brilliant @BBSRC PhD student @Deborah__King for passing viva! Her critical work on vascular ageing & cognition has been a joy to supervise over the past years. Massive congrats to this talented rising star!

[Dr Deborah King @Deborah__King]

PhDone! 🥳I showed multiple vascular risk factors - and not just BP - are important in cognitive decline. Paper coming soon. Thanks for the short & sweet viva @timrittman Sarah Bauermeister, and my supervisors @kamentsve and @rikhens, brilliant kind scientists, go work with them

Incredible collaboration by @FannyElahi @alladi_suvarna @fjwltrs @AtticHains, et al. to lower #Dementia burden by BP reduction & #Lifestyle change. What are implications of #SPRINT-MIND for current clinical practice & future cognitive trials? @CellReports https://t.co/vSpwehfreY

Brilliant to see #BNA2023 making space for climate crisis discussions. Our research advancing human health only matters if we have a hospitable planet. 🌏

Vascular risk factors, brain and cognitive ageing on my poster at #BNA2023. Poster 66, zone 3 ground floor. Come say hi 👋

Our paper looking at the natural history of white matter hyperinitensities in cerebral small vessel disease now out in @IntJStroke. We looked for evidence of lesion regression in three cohorts of SVD patients and found modest volume WMH reduction in few patients

Exciting news! Our latest project has been published in @NatureHumBehav. We call for a reevaluation of the cognitive benefits of physical exercise.

Endless thanks @rrarroca @mavadillo @DariasHolgado @luquecasado @ppandelis @SanabriaLucenaD for their contributions. More below ⬇️

A week to go until @theboatrace! 🤩

In 1993 Cambridge made a clean sweep of it and again in 2018! Here's hoping we can recreate this moment in 2023 🤞 Go #LightBlues!

An insightful two days at the @rotmanresearch Aging & Brain Health Conference and thrilled to win a poster prize #RotmanConf

[Dr Allison Sekuler 🧠 👁🥁🇨🇦 @asek47]

Congratulations on winning the #RotmanConf poster awards at this year’s @rotmanresearch Aging & Brain Health Conference: Deborah King, Lisa Moreel, and Phillip Johnston -- the future of #neuroscience and #aging is bright!

[Cambridge FTD @CambridgeFTD]

It's great to see the success and enthusiasm at the ECR day at #ARUKConf2023 @ARUKscientist

In just a few days I start my desert challenge to raise funds for @AlzResearchUK

BIG thanks to all supporters: we're already at 83% of target £5000!

Still time! https://t.co/vaY9J9WmNX

@CambridgePPF Are the highland cows still at Wandlebury? Thanks

[CamBrainCNS @CamBrainCNS]

On the 7th Feb at 7pm @ the Cambridge Tap we will host our next Neurotalk, themed Neurodegeneration!
🧠🥳

We have two very excting speakers lined up: from growing neurons in culture 🧪 to clinical trials in patients!

Speaker #3 will be announced soon 👀

Come and join us!

[Cambridge FTD @CambridgeFTD]

hot on the heels of the @ARUKscientist's great Check-in App, evidence from @camcan_tweets @kamentsve & Deborah King that Pulse Pressure (SBP-DBP) is associated with cognitive health across the lifespan

Its not just BP that matters, but pulse pressure!

[Kamen Tsvetanov @kamentsve]

New research! Vascular ageing is multifactorial with each factor having distinct effects on cognition.
