1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by @TrangCao2016 in a huge collab effort investigates this question...

Happy to share our paper @ Alzheimer's & Dementia @alzassociation: "Cognitive and neuropsychological trajectories in patients with mixed neurodegenerative pathologies”

Great way to end an incredible year!
Here's our most recent paper adding to the increasingly recognized importance of Lewy body co-pathology in the Alzheimer's disease spectrum.
Check our latest publication! We show that #Lewy body co-pathology is frequent in #Alzheimer disease with important clinical implications.

In a technological tour de force, a team at @CEAParisSaclay has developed a whole-body 11.7T #MRI scanner. The team presents exquisitely detailed images of the human brain.

Obrigado à Associação de Internos de Psiquiatria (@apipsiquiatria no instagram) pela receção no Workshop de Neuroimagem do Encontro Nacional de Internos de Psiquiatria!
Precisamos de mais pontes entre a Neurorradiologia e a Psiquiatria, na clínica e na investigação. 1/2
Ouçam só o podcast "PódeSer" da APIP, no Spotify, sobre a interseção da Psiquiatria, Filosofia e Humanidades! (open.spotify.com/show/5q9e1g…)

Check our new paper!
We studied the impact of brain vascular #copathology in #Alzheimer’s & primary age-related tauopathy (#PART) in antemortem brain MRIs.

I am very excited to share our most recent publication in @ImmunityCP , the work we developed for the last 3 years at the @Da_Mesquita_S lab: “Meningeal lymphatic function promotes oligodendrocyte survival and brain myelination”. See 🧵 below

Estudo de investigadores (@TGO_lab e @neurothought ) do ICVS da @Med_UMinho mostra que “40% dos pacientes com doença de Alzheimer sofrem de psicose e identifica áreas do cérebro afetadas”.

I’m happy to share our latest pub @EJNeuroscience
We applied an algorithm to segment the longitudinal hippocampal axis & show that the ant/post vol ratio is impacted in #Alzheimer

Very happy to see this paper out! Inspired on clinical practice from some years ago, it emphasizes the need to pay more attention to neuropsychiatric symptoms in neurodegenerative diseases. Many thanks to @TGO_lab for the guidance, collaborators and the @NACCData!
Check our recent publication where we studied the impact of #psychosis in #Alzheimer's disease

Exciting times at #AAIC23
Great feedback on our work
New treatments for AD (lecanemab & donanemab) - on the imaging side we’ll be looking out for ARIA 🤔
Biomarkers taking key role in patient management
Always nice to see friends & collaborators.
See you soon Amsterdam!
Very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this work!
Had great discussions at the Meeting, with lots of good ideas for the future. Really impressed with the presentations, from basic to clinical! Will surely be there next year.
Stay tuned for the coming science!
Congrats to my student Francisco Almeida @neurothought for his poster and oral ppts & for his best poster award at the 36th Annual Meeting of Brain Aging and Dementia. Great to discuss over the last 2 days the most recent #neurodegeneration research advances performed in Portugal
Very happy to be a part of this team!
I'm happy to share our most recent work - "Divergent magnetic resonance imaging atrophy patterns in Alzheimer's disease and primary age-related tauopathy"
