Manera et al. report that their tool, VentRa, achieved an 84% accuracy rate in distinguishing behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia from psychiatric disorders, exhibiting a promise for #dementia diagnosis. @anitamanera

Historically, much of the gender gap in earnings could be explained by differences in education and occupational choices. However, this year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin has shown that the bulk of this earnings difference is now between men and women in the same occupation, and that it largely arises with the birth of the first child.

Most aging and dementia research is conducted on White individuals limiting generalizability to other populations. To improve generalizability of findings, we examined the influence of race on white matter hyperintensity (WMH) burden!

In this exciting preprint we found that race differences in WMHs are observed, but ONLY when vascular risk factors are not controlled for. Race differences in WMHs are influenced by higher rates of vascular risk factors in Blacks compared to Whites. https://t.co/qB8OzVp97B
