Great Frontotemporal Dementia and Related Disorders PIA Journal Club session today where I presented (hopefully doing justice) Liwen Zhang and Suzee Lee‘s paper on network connectivity alterations in #FTD MAPT carriers!

It was lovely meeting you! Thanks for your answers to all my questions! 😅

Thrilled about our new pub in Ann Neurol that examine Connectivity alterations in MAPT mutation carriers. Congrats, Liwen! Liwen Zhang. Huge thanks ALLFTD, Jesse Brown Lorenzo Pasquini, PhD Virginia Sturm Jennifer Yokoyama UCSF MAC! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

The new Appropriate Use Criteria for amyloid and tau PET presented by Gil Raninovici! @RabLab_UCSF #AAIC23

Congratulations to Bruce Miller, M.D., the recipient of the Henry Wisniewski Lifetime Achievement Award. Dr. Miller directs UCSF MAC and is the founder of Global Brain Health Institute. #AAIC23

For anyone impacted or knows those who are impacted by genetic or familial ALS or FTD, there's a great new virtual support group.

Our latest –– 'Geometric constraints on human brain function' –– led by James Pang & Kevin Aquino 🧠🔑 w/ Ben Fulcher Michael Breakspear P Robinson and Marianne Oldehinkel now out in nature. Detailed thread on preprint below. Huge congrats to a wonderful team!

I can't recall a UC San Francisco grand rounds that was more fascinating or mind-blowing than this far-ranging discussion of #ChatGPT 's implications for healthcare – clinical, research, and education – by Atul Butte, Aaron Neinstein, MD, Sara Murray & Dan Lowenstein. youtube.com/watch?v=j-aOCu…

Results shared today suggest donanemab can give people with early Alzheimer's #MoreTime to participate in daily life. Learn more about the benefits and how the drug underscores the urgency for CMSGov to give #AccessNow to FDA-approved drugs in this class. bit.ly/422Ycdk

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered biomarkers that could be used to discriminate #FTD cases associated with the TDP-43 and tau proteins.

I gave talks on AI-assisted coding (expanding on this preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2304.13187) at Big Data Institute and UCL Psych & Lang Sci last week. It is absolutely thrilling to give a talk that a packed room is palpably excited about - if only every talk could be like that!

Join us March 21st for a presentation by Dr. Jenny from Neurodegenerative Research Group at Mayo Clinic on the corticobasal presentation of #Alzheimers Disease. Keir Yong will moderate the session. Panel consists of Suzee Lee Dennis W Dickson Baayla DC Boon . Register here: alz-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
