#DementiaResearch #WorldAlzheimersMonth
🧠 What if we could watch dementia unfold in a dish—and stop it before it starts?

Join Prof @selinawray.bsky.social (@uclqsion.bsky.social) on 18 Sept for a free UCL Lunch Hour Lecture exploring the future of dementia research.

Really interesting study and a great showcase of how tUS can be used to probe mechanisms! 👏👏
We are super excited about the first human transcranial ultrasound study from our lab which is now on BiorXiv, showing the amygdala‘s role in processing ambiguous emotions and showing TUS changed resting-state connectivity and metabolite concentrations (GABA) in the amygdala - a huge team effort! 🥳🙏🏼
Very happy to share my first preprint from @oxexppsy.bsky.social @oxneuro.bsky.social ! We (me + co-first authors @lilweb.bsky.social @mirunarascu.bsky.social + PI @mkflugge.bsky.social + many others) used transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS/tFUS/LIFU) of the human amygdala ... (1/15)

Can we use what we’ve learned about cognitive maps to understand social cognition, including theory of mind?
If you’re interested in answering this question then this is a fantastic postdoc opportunity with @mkwittmann.bsky.social in collaboration with @summerfieldlab.bsky.social and my lab.
📢 Job announcement: Two (!) 3-year postdoc jobs in our lab at UCL 📢

🧠💫🔊 We are looking for postdocs interested in the abstract mechanisms underlying social cognition. Modelling, fMRI and non-invasive ultrasound, a new deep-brain stimulation method.

New research from @angelikaza.bsky.social & colleagues finds impaired glymphatic clearance (measured using diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space) is linked to poor cognitive outcomes in #Parkinsons
movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
However, it is not the driver of the white matter macrostructural changes, grey matter atrophy or iron accumulation seen in those patients! Thank you to all co-authors @rimonaweil.bsky.social @naomihannaway.bsky.social @ivelinadobreva.bsky.social and others not on bluesky!
Really beautiful work @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social @smfleming.bsky.social! Finally the missing link between perception, imagery and expectations? Now we need a Parkinson's dataset to test ;-)
After five years of confused staring at Greek letters, it is my absolute pleasure to finally share our (with @smfleming.bsky.social) computational model of mental imagery and reality monitoring: Perceptual Reality Monitoring as Higher-Order inference on Sensory Precision ✨

I am unbelievably proud to have my first senior author paper published today! It was a long slog through multiple review cycles but we got there!

A big thank you to my lab members and all the collaborators and participants who contributed to this work! 🥲

More research on under-represented communities:
@angelikaza.bsky.social & colleagues held focus groups with 17 people with #Parkinsons & their care partners from Black communities to better understand barriers & facilitators to participation in research

Great work by @ivelinadobreva.bsky.social highlighting barriers and facilitators of Black communities in the UK to PD research participation! Thank you to @parkinsons.org.uk for the support in recruiting and disseminating! And of course to the amazing people with Parkinson's who took part!
Pleased to share our new work. Black communities face higher Parkinson’s disease burden, but we know they remain underrepresented in research.
We highlight the key barriers - distrust, stigma, and accessibility - and offer community-driven recommendations to increasing research engagement.
