How will it all work in the near-term future as we integrate screening+treating folks for memory loss and use of digital technologies? Will it be critical for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's? You bet it will. Enter the Digitized Memory Clinic by Gramkow and colleagues as laid out in their new paper in @Nature Reviews Neurology.
Key Points:
- The authors suggest a simple tiered approach.
- Tiers 1-3 are diagnostic and monitoring and include critical person-centered assessments.
- Tier 4 is post-diagnostic care.
My take: I love that the construct does not make the physician the sun. The person w/ memory loss is the sun, and all healthcare team members, not just the doc, orbit around them, and of course use the digital technology. I love that this will bring care to more people and do it in their homes. The AI-driven software is squishy today, but I can see this developing quickly, and of course will feed much better clinical decision support tools. This will facilitate the critical need for disease tracking, All of this will be much better once we break through with more effective treatments for memory dysfunction. This idea will drive clinical trials faster and this will be a very good thing. We have not arrived at a digital memory clinic, however I think we can all close our eyes and imagine the near-term future.

Is hearing loss associated with an increased risk of new diagnosis of Parkinson's disease? Yep. Neilson and colleagues @JAMANeuro show us association in a dose-dependent manner. The risk was interestingly attenuated by hearing aids.

@NeuroWalid Don’t forget about the non-lemniscal (secondary) auditory pathway and auditory cortex association areas.

Introducing FReT, a simple solution to predict complex dynamics. With no hyperparameter tuning or critical model assumptions, FReT avoids many of the constraints imposed by complex forecasting models. #MachineLearning @UCalgary

We show that hypothalamic CRH cells show associative learning, forming enduring memories of independently of other brain regions.

Check out our latest publication from @stressynomics Lab at the @UCalgary. What an amazing work lead by @tfuzesi1! Hypothalamic CRH neurons represent physiological memory of positive and negative experience https://t.co/oxZkjkUeXg @ndaviu @BusyMolina @TCNeurodoc

@DaniBeckman Nice image! But why do you assume it starts in the hippocampus?

[tfuzesi @tfuzesi1]

Four days of lectures, seminars, demonstrations and hands-on experience learning a new technique for your behavioral neuroscience research.

For those interested, here is a great paper. While this paper does not capture all recurrence analysis uses in the literature, it is a very nice overview. https://t.co/M5LKHIxMnC

[Taylor Chomiak @TCNeurodoc]

Indeed, nonlinear dynamic theory including recurrence quantification analysis are becoming more popular for model building in medicine.

@NeuroscienceNew I agree. I think there is tremendous opportunity for digital technology and clinical medicine https://t.co/sVAyuE64QH
