Today was my very first oral presentation, and I couldn't be happier. I felt a mix of emotions and nervousness, but also excitement about the science being discussed! Thank you, @alzassociation.bsky.social @zimmerneurolab.bsky.social @isabelscst.bsky.social for making it possible #AAIC25

The fight to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia is one that so many women have given their voices, time and dedication to. During #InternationalWomensDay, we honor and thank the women who have been a part of the #ENDALZ story.

Text: Women are changing the world #ENDALZ

A collage of photos of women of all ages is shown behind the text.

New Study just out in The Lancet Global Health! #LucasDaRos, @vbwyll.bsky.social, #CristianoAguzzoli & colleagues used a machine learning model to determine the most important risk factors for cognitive and functional decline in Brazil and other LATAM Countries 🧵 www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Social and health disparities associated with healthy brain ageing in Brazil and in other Latin American countries

Our findings indicate that Brazil converges with other Latin American countries to show that heterogeneous factors impacted more than demographic factors, but also showed a unique set of health factor...

‘Assessing brain-wide outcomes of dopamine system activation in the living rodent brain’

Assessing brain-wide outcomes of dopamine system activation in the living rodent brain

In a recent study, Haas, Bravo, and colleagues integrated optogenetic stimulation with simultaneous functional in vivo positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements in rats. By activating the nigrostriatal pathway in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), they observed concurrent metabolic and hemodynamic fluctuations associated with the dopaminergic pathway in living animals at the whole-brain level.
