Strong (and valid) criticism from @EricTopol on @PeterAttiaMD on longevity supplements, full-body MRIs, and more. Full convo on The Checkup Podcast live now 🎥🙏🏼

Functional neurological disorder (#FND) remains a research orphan @NIH. FND is among the costliest and least funded sources of neurological disability. The latest NIH review cycle was no exception: zero FND-based grants were funded.

I was discussing Casey Mean’s dangerous grift a year ago (and Huberman’s for even longer):

Such a clinically important message: "By failing to recognize functional symptoms clinicians may inadvertently reinforce negative health-related beliefs regarding patient’s injury brains.”

International Working Group suggests biomarker positive cognitively normal individuals should not be diagnosed as having Alzheimer disease and instead are at-risk. https://t.co/PfrkTJwZKi #CTAD24

This is a misleading & irresponsible headline. This claim in this article is only based on NFL data, but studies showing no or minimal difference in concussion rates & accelerations with caps suggest it's unlikely it would have prevented his concussion.

Excited to share our recent paper from an @AsianNeuropsych Advocacy Committee project! Check out what survey respondents identified as culturally insensitive tests and assessment practices. Shout out to awesome co-authors @ArastuSana and @rowenangphd 💫 https://t.co/RHcgqBx0XW

Last week, some of our staff and colleagues attended #MHSRS2024 to present outcomes on targeted treatments and multi-domain assessments post-mTBI. Thank you @MilitaryHealth for putting on another wonderful symposium!

🚨 New paper 🚨

There is a lot of suffering in our population caused by Alzheimer’s

Q: How much of it could be alleviated by new drugs?

A: We think, sadly, not much

New open access paper in @alzdemjournals we outline the evidence for our concerns

@JDixonNeuro Love the topic!

@_KellyOC @New2Neuropsych usually has listings in their newsletters and I believe they may be listed on the website but I could be wrong

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

In this case-control study of the diagnostic accuracy of reported symptoms and the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC), reported symptoms were the most accurate indicator of concussion while the 10-word SAC had limited sensitivity. https://t.co/WE3KqM0NY8

Thank you to @SportsNeuroSoc for the award and invitation to speak yesterday! 🗣️🧠

▶️ Our preliminary data from a larger EMA study revealed fear-avoidant adults had worse ImPACT and VOMS scores at the initial visit and took ~2x longer to recover than non-fear-avoidant adults❗️

@mspezz I think a majority of people play the “catch-up game” with hours, I don’t think that’s abnormal at all - definitely frustrating though.
