Our new study shows the strongest evidence yet for brain adaptation to maintain cognition in ageing. Published in @eLife https://t.co/f2FLahCQP3

Outstanding collaboration with @ethanknights @rikhens @alexa_morcom and @djmitch81

🧠 Exciting News! Our latest work reveals compelling evidence for functional compensation in older adults, highlighting the remarkable resilience of ageing brains! A fantastic team effort, led by @ethanknights, with @rikhens, @alexa_morcom & @djmitch81

Our recent findings suggest long-lasting cerebrovascular impairment after COVID-19.

New paper by the brilliant Shuyi Wu, @CambPsych visiting student, showing the importance to model, rather than simply normalise for, cerebrovascular differences in fMRI studies.
For this, we developed a toolbox for commonality analysis in neuroimaging.

💥📢Our new preprint shows that multiple aspects of vascular health independently effect cognition https://t.co/Xlmc07tHci. A thread:

we show that maintaining cerebral perfusion into old age may serve to support brain function with behavioural advantage https://t.co/tSId2lvWBu

Our results provide insights into the role of semantic constraints elicited by the incrementally developing context in sentences such as “The experienced walker chose the path,” including its subject, verb, and object, in generating a message-level interpretation.

[cslblab @cslblab]

Understanding the meaning of spoken language requires
listeners to access the meaning of each word and integrate it into the ongoing semantic representation in order to incrementally construct a syntactically licensed semantic representation of the sentence. (1/4)

Gradient dispersion identifies behaviorally relevant differences in brain function across the lifespan, as emerging tool to address challenges & provide opportunities in neuroimaging data in health & disease. Thanks to wondeful & inspiring collaborators & CamCAN's rich dataset.

Our review w/ @rikhens @CambridgeFTD on separating vascular-neural effects of age on fMRI signals: implications of vascular ageing on neurocognitive ageing. In 10K+ fmri ageing studies, <20 correct for vascular signals – plenty of research is still needed! https://t.co/VTWpdUQ7Rp

Our new preprint showing that function can enable people in the presymptomatic stages of neurodegeneration to maintain cognition despite progressive atrophy that begins years before symptoms onset - joint effort w Stefano Gazzina @GENFI1 @CambridgeFTD https://t.co/Y4sgvPpSNo

[Cambridge FTD @CambridgeFTD]

A great collaboration Kamen, @kamentsve - thank you.
The need to separate vascular from neuronal factors in BOLD fMRI is essential to characterize neurocognitive aging, and disorders associated with ageing like Dementia. #RSFA #fMRI #Ageing @mrccbu @camcan_tweets
