Many congratulations to @IngaKoerte and Nikolaus Plesnila for an excellent @ENONeurotrauma meeting. Great fun, great hospitality and great scientific programme.
Can’t believe it’s been a week since our launch of Friend’s of the Care Research & Technology Centre (Friend’s of CR&T), fantastic event bringing together those interested in being at the heart of our research, find out more 👉 https://t.co/psOevLxOTn
Really interesting! Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with ⬆️ Alzheimer's risk and ⬆️ phospho-tau181, this study shows phospho-tau181 is not elevated in the first year after moderate-to-severe TBI

Fantastic to speak at this years @UKDRI Connectome event about…well….me. Really enjoyed speaking about my path, the wheel of skills and working in the grey (where the magic happens). Finding out about my panel members was an amazing bonus!
Super interesting review from @sj_marzi on the application of AI and machine learning in experimental medicine for dementia research👩💻👩🔬🧠

No big deal - solanezumab targeted soluble monomers the idea being to pull amyloid out of the brain like a sponge - but it didn’t clear amyloid. I really don’t understand why the company pursued it so long I would have dropped years ago (easy to say now)
Pleased to see this comment with @Neurosharp published looking at the great work of the TRACK TBI team on dynamic patient trajectories years post-injury.
More to be done to understand things at a mechanistic level but key implications for patient monitoring & treatment trials.
Reader in Brain Biomechanics @ImperialDyson@imperialcollege since today. Credit to the past and present members of my team and collaborators. Thanks team for the lovely cake.
This month's @Brain1878 contains a set of important articles on #Parkinsons and #LewyBody dementia, including reviews on alpha-synuclein and bradykinesia, papers on cholinergic loss, mechanisms underlying rigidity, impulse control disorder and cognition https://t.co/7VrjxBlByJ
So much respect for @englandcricket and @CricketAus for raising awareness of dementia in such a powerful way (and for entertaining us with such wonderful cricket all through this Ashes series)
By analysing videos of concussions in professional American football games and modelling the impacts, Zimmerman et al. show that loss of consciousness is associated with deformation in brainstem regions containing nuclei involved in arousal. https://t.co/u010Iopgi1
Interesting study need more like this please looking at dementia risk factors. Frustratingly ambiguous findings (primary outcome solidly negative) further targeted trial work needed for hearing aids, but some suggestive benefits in high risk subgroups. More biomarkers/ diagnoses?
Dr Giovanna Lalli, the UK DRI's Director of Scientific Affairs, is @BritishNeuro's Face of the Fortnight!🙌
Stay tuned to BNA's feed to hear from Giovanna over the next couple of weeks.

Fantastic to hear from our incoming Director, Prof Siddharthan Chandran, at the Dementia Mission event at #AAIC23 yesterday!
Prof Chandran discussed the important role the UK DRI can play in the Mission - both in discovery research and translation👏
Terrific news today as results from phase 3 trial of #Alzheimers drug donanemab presented at #AAIC23 confirm the drug significantly reduced amyloid in the brain & slowed disease progression👏 🧠
UK DRI researchers comment on the encouraging results🙌 👉https://t.co/sNalNZmFDZ
Fantastic day @ARUKscientist@UCLBrainScience speaking to interested members of the public about our @UKDRI work at the Care Research and Technology Centre @ImperialBrains using and designing technology with, and for, people living with dementia, well done team 🎖️
Wu et al. describe the clinical and radiological features of genetic leukoencephalopathies in a large cohort of 309 adults, and find that the most frequently mutated genes are NOTCH3 (25%), NOTCH2NLC (19%), ABCD1 (9%), CSF1R (7%) and HTRA1 (5%). https://t.co/8GEPl7mcP7
