Lifebrain

Lifebrain is an EU science project that aims to find out how environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors affect our #brainhealth throughout our lives.

Our latest @CORDIS_EU research has hit the headlines in Norway. “9 of 10 want to know their brain disease risk”. Thank you @HorizonEU for funding this work! @EUhorizon2020 https://t.co/7dJ3hDuN79

Our latest findings from the @LifebrainEU Global Brain Health Survey show high public interest in brain health testing: https://t.co/qz2XjmZwm2

New article by Lars Nyberg et al. in Cerebral Cortex on work from the Lifebrain project, “Individual differences in brain aging: heterogeneity in cortico-hippocampal but not caudate atrophy rates”.

We are excited to announce that the data from the Lifebrain Global Brain Health Survey has now been made available online. We know many partners and stakeholders have been eager to get a hold of this data.

Proud of this massive effort in the @LifebrainEU consortium led by Julia Binnewies 🧠: A meta-analysis in >3000 participants showing #depression symptoms relate to (slightly) smaller regional #brain volume 👉https://t.co/HtTcb2tTqG @PsychRes

Would you rather be smart or educated? We see that smart people show less brain change in aging, regardless of education and polygenic scores. 7000 longitudinal MRIs. Great work by @KWalhovd and the @LifebrainEU & @LCBC_UiO teams https://t.co/DvSILdk0FC

Sharing valuable knowledge on brain imaging data at the Lifebrain closing conference in Oxford with ⁦@OxfordWIN⁩ ⁦@OxPsychiatry ⁦@VidalDidac⁩

[PsychiatryAmsterdam @PsychRes]

You can now read about the key findings of @LifebrainEU in this short summary! https://t.co/Y2QA15FeLE

[Anders Martin Fjell @AndersFjell]

Definitely potential for improving accuracy in detecting longitudinal structural brain change. Great job Donatas Sederevicius! @LCBC_UiO @LifebrainEU

Hot off the press: 2x10 weeks memory training in 157 participants yielded improved memory for 3 yrs. In contrast, hippo volume increased during training, but did not differ from controls after 3 yrs. Great work @AnneCecilie17 @LCBC_UiO @LifebrainEU https://t.co/ypKa8F09p8

Our latest findings from the Global Brain Health Survey: Most people know lifestyle and mental health are linked to #brainhealth- women are more aware than men:https://t.co/SEvLy5AeQo @LCBC_UiO @Psykologiskinst

[Women's Brain Foundation @womensbrainpro]

What do people know about #brainhealth? In the largest survey ever done to investigate public perceptions of brain health, researchers found that the awareness level varies.
