Why does dementia awareness lag in aged care? Hospitals invest in specialist knowledge, and childcare demands strict qualifications, yet aged care accepts a low baseline for dementia understanding.

@jmschott @TheLancetNeuro @chris_belder @UCLBrainScience @alzassociation @AlzResearchUK @alzforum @alzheimerssoc @drcionucl We have previously shown data and argued that more fibrillar/dense plaques are equivalent to 'space-occupying lesions' and so it would be predicted that their removal would lead to reduced brain volume.
