Enjoying a splendid visit to UCL on my way to AAIC! Always great to visit radiochemistry labs!!

“We are working towards real clinical benefit. It’s never been a more exciting time to be a dementia researcher” says Bill Thies award winner and mentor Jonathan Schott ISTAART #AAIC23 MRC LHA @ UCL

Excellent presentation by Dave Cash showing amyloid and tau PET data from our MRC LHA @ UCL Insight 46 data led by Will Coath and funded by Marc Zacher Alzheimer's Association Research at ARUK

Our new paper sheds light on the pathophysiogical and clinical trajectories of individuals presenting with confined MTL tau and no apparent amyloid pathology. Our data suggests that they are likely to follow a distinct, less malign course untypical for AD. Check it out JAMA Neurology

📣 Registrations for the Educational Workshop “Getting Started with Neuroimaging Analysis” are now OPEN AIM: Provide new/early-career researchers #research-ready skills to process #neuroimaging & interpret findings in the context of #aging & #dementia 📅Sept 25, 2024 📌Caen🇫🇷

If you attended Neuroimaging PIA AIC, please could you 👉🏻 Go to Slido.com 👉🏻 Enter the code #AAIC24 👉🏻 Select the AIC room 👉🏻 Fill out the survey. All feedback appreciated! We all bemoan small sample sizes, so improve ours by telling us what you thought of AIC!

I’m over at my #AAIC24 poster 782 this afternoon, which looks at sample sizes for reduction of AD pathology in autosomal dominant AD using PET and CSF as potential outcome measures.

Hello #AAIC2024 attendees. Today I am presenting my work on the association between tau PET and fluid biomarkers in the cognitively unimpaired individuals in the early AD continuum at booth 468. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. #BarcelonaBeta #ENDALZ

Great talk by Will Coath using the MRC LHA @ UCL 1946 cohort to explore the timing pf and relationship between amyloid and tau positivity with age #AAIC24

Fantastic talk by @joshkingrobson exploring the effects of midlife shift work on brain pathology 40 years later in the MRC LHA @ UCL 1946 birth cohort. Spoiler alert — shift workers have more vascular risk factors, smaller brains but *less* amyloid. More to follow! #AAIC24

This is going to be an excellent conference - there are still some places available so sign up to hear the latest in European neuroimaging for neurodegenerative disease!

🚨Check out our new paper out in Neurology (Neurology Journal): Sex-Dependent Effects of Cardiometabolic Health and APOE4 on Brain Age: A Longitudinal Cohort Study neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN… Summary below👇🏾

This really fascinating new paper by Dave Cash David Thomas 🌈 Jonathan Schott et al shows that brain 🧠 regions affected by Alzheimer's disease are also vulnerable to deterioration due to vascular burden independent of amyloid status in cognitively normal elderly. bit.ly/3ROg1Ja
