@DavidJonesBrain Anatomically consistent w one of the rATL syndromic variants (which sometimes can include bvFTD-like behavioral symptoms or both semantic-behavioral symptoms), usually caused by FTLD-TDP43

[DickersonLabMGH @DickersonLabMGH]

@DavidJonesBrain I agree w you Dave—sounds like this is syndromically a case of progressive semantic memory impairment for people, not simply prosopagnosia like in this early paper but multi-modal person-specific knowledge:

In our recent work, we elucidate the underlying mechanism of language abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease, such as overusing pronouns and verbs. The insights were gained from a comparison between English and Persian. https://t.co/yrwA94JhDo

Alz&Dem is pleased to share a special issue on the LEADS study, addressing an often-forgotten about clinical population with early-onset #Alzheimers.

@Wilcock_v2 No worries Donna!

Excited that this paper is published by PNAS today where we show how speakers maintain a balance between the complexity of words and syntax; and how this property may assist aphasia patients to better communicate
Big thanks to @DickersonLabMGH @LanguageMIT @kmahowald @raryskin

Fantastic neuropsychiatrist in our @FTDunitBoston @NeguineR Neguine Rezaii’s new paper with @LanguageMIT “A syntax–lexicon trade-off in language production” in PPA & healthy people is out today in @PNASNews: https://t.co/vmCxKdmMn2

Our new #superaging paper out now in Cerebral Cortex! https://t.co/bNNo33Kc1k

We show that superagers (older adults with youthful memory) retain their selective and efficient ability to process visual stimuli, allowing them to form distinct memories.

2 days down, 2 days to go! Great faculty, perfect co-directors (Drs. Brad @DickersonLabMGH & Lili Shaughnessy) & fantastic fun learning with everyone @ #Harvard #Dementia Course. United we will one day win the war against #Alzheimers & Related Dementias. Hope, ❤️ & perseverance!

Our annual Harvard Dementia Course is off to a great start with nearly 500 attendees! You can still register for this livestream CME course, with videos available for 30 days after the course. https://t.co/zD6LrsBPiL

Register for the upcoming annual Harvard Dementia Course, streaming for clinicians who want a comprehensive update on the field (with CME/CEUs). https://t.co/5CKZq7ahuX

Lea, it’s crazy how the world conspires against us and we, collectively, rise up to the challenge. Good teams prevail.

Thanks to @EdMarkey for talking w our @DickersonLabMGH @KatieBrandt6 about funding for Alz and related disorders funding

[Katie Brandt @KatieBrandt6]

https://t.co/gfLujqPERo join me at 7:00 for a great talk about Alzheimer’s research funding!

Today was surReality @ MGH... this afternoon was my first FTD clinic since March 9. Valuable safety protocols in place, but strangely quiet except for a few patients (after a very busy morning of virtual clinic)

Dear colleagues, please distribute broadly. This is a White House petition to allow F-1 students to stay in the US through the fall semester if instruction is online due to the pandemi https://t.co/y4DFRnnofQ

Great work led by wonderful colleagues—we are delighted to have contributed

Our behavioral neurology/neuro psychiatry field has lost a (too young) giant. We will miss you Dan, and our hearts go out to your family, friends, and patients

[Trey Bateman @RenegadeSynapse]

Behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry lost an important member of the field today, and I lost a mentor and friend. Ave atque vale. ⁦@UNCneurology⁩ #Neurology #neuropsychiatry #BNNP

@AFTDHope continues to work to help people living with #FTD and related conditions by bringing education into people’s homes—thank you!

[The AFTD @AFTDHope]

In a recent webinar hosted by @homeinstead, AFTD's Matthew Sharp & Deena Chisholm discuss caring for persons living with #FTD, ways in which FTD differs from #Alzheimers, and the many resources and services AFTD can provide to those facing this disease: https://t.co/jpOPvF1CAu
