@GaetanBurgio Thanks for the summary, Gaetan. Not looking too great for discovery research, unfortunately

[University of Sydney @Sydney_Uni]

Can music slow the onset of dementia? 🎶🧠

Thanks to a transformative philanthropic gift, @BrainMind_Usyd and @sydneycon researchers are set to find out!

[Dr Carol Dobson-Stone @caroldstone]

Very excited to have played a small part in this study using long-read DNA sequencing technology to diagnose patients with brain and neuromuscular disorders

[Brain & Mind Centre @BrainMind_Usyd]

A single test for over 50 genetic diseases to cut the ‘diagnostic odyssey’ that can take decades, down to days.
We are proud to see this exciting work published today in @ScienceAdvances & to be part of this international team led by @GarvanInstitute

Our study examining delusions in >400 people with dementia is now out. We found ~10% of people with dementia experienced delusions, and were most common in behavioural-variant #FTD. People with delusions also had more cognitive impairment.
