not sure why X gives the "warning sensitive content" - this is a great study, we are proud to support.

@racingdementia and @M_Malpetti are *sensitive* to the urgent need for better diagnosis and treatment

[Cambridge University @Cambridge_Uni]

A simple blood test to help detect signs of dementia decades before it develops is being rolled out across the UK by the University of Cambridge.

Part of a new study, the researchers are backed by @RacingDementia, the charity founded by Formula 1 racing legend Sir Jackie Stewart.

You don't need high tech to get accurate diagnostic separation of dementia
Simple item-level analysis of low-tech ("paper & pencil") short carer questionnaire gives high accuracy

It is brilliant to see one of the first projects out of my lab now published on @molpsychiatry!

Congrats to Alex, all lab members and collaborators involved - and huge thanks to the participants and families, and all our funders!

Enjoy the read:

The prefrontal cortex - it does so much that makes us who we are as people.

Inspired? puzzled? want to know more?

The @ESI_Frankfurt have published the definitive guide, to PFC in health, disease, evolution, structure, function, cognition & more

Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia #svPPA (#SemanticDementia)

Is it genetic ?

Looks increasingly unlikely, in puzzling contrast to other forms of frontotemporal dementia
