Unlike other dementias, the first signs of behavioural variant frontotemporal #dementia tend to be personality changes and inappropriate behaviour, rather than memory loss.
@brien_terence spoke with @NareldaJacobs10 @10NewsFirstMelb about our sodium selenate clinical trial with @AlfredHealth, the world's first potential treatment for bvFTD.
He said the biggest roadblock is getting the diagnosis right.
"Patients can often get diagnosed as having a mental illness or breakdown, and they don't get a diagnosis and offered a trial like this".
The phase 2b trial is open to anyone eligible for Medicare. Contact [email protected]

Yuanlin Ma, Yin Yan, @patrick_kwan, and colleagues demonstrated that #CXCR5 deficiency during embryonic #development leads to abnormal neuronal morphology and functions, resulting ultimately in increased susceptibility to #epilepsy and #seizures. See here: link.springer.com/article/10…
