We used biophysical modeling to explore the potential of TMS in space. 🚀🧠 Our research investigates how structural brain changes during long-term space missions might impact TMS efficacy.

Just released in time for #FTDAwarenessweek : the choroid plexus was found to be larger in #Frontotemporal #dementia patients and its dimension correlates with disease severity, NfL and #cognitive deficits!

🌍 Today marks the beginning of World FTD Awareness Week – a global call to #endFTD. The theme for today is self-care. Whether you're a caregiver, someone with a genetic link to FTD, or directly impacted by it, prioritizing your well-being matters. Here's how you can join in:

1️⃣ Start with a small act of self-care today. Meet up with a friend, take a stroll, relish a favorite spot, or indulge in a good book or some treasured music. Dedicate a few moments to caring for yourself.

2️⃣ Share your self-care journey on social media and inspire others to do the same. Visit this link for messaging and graphics you can share: https://t.co/byQs1SrUlb

3️⃣ Show your support by changing your profile picture on social media. Follow our simple instructions at the link above.

What is FTD?

👉 It's the most common form of dementia for people under 60. FTD is caused by degeneration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain. For information on FTD subtypes, please click here: https://t.co/YoL6RVz9Kn

[The AFTD @AFTDHope]

Join the "Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia, with a Focus on Frontotemporal Degeneration" webinar tomorrow at 3:30 pm ET.

Learn about the signs, symptoms, and available resources for this common form of dementia in people under 60.
