Digital twins and non-invasive recordings enable early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease - Alzheimer's Research & Therapy
Background The diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in its preclinical stages, such as subjective cognitive decline (SCD), is crucial for a timely management of the condition. However, current early ...

Just over half of the children born in 2020 will face unprecedented exposure to heatwaves over their lifetime — even under a conservative projection for how climate change will unfold over the next 75 years

How climate change will burden our children: data reveal a lifetime of extreme heat
Young people will be exposed to a number of heatwaves that no one would have experienced in pre-industrial times.

Another piece of the puzzle of the genetic aetiology of dystonia falls into place: how the genetic profile affects spectral components of globus pallidus activity.

Genetic Etiology Influences the Low‐Frequency Components of Globus Pallidus Internus Electrophysiology in Dystonia
Background Elevated low-frequency activity (4–12 Hz) within the globus pallidus internus (GPi) has been consistently associated with dystonia. However, the impacts of the genetic etiology of dystoni...

Interested in #dystonia? Wondering how so many different genes can lead to this pathology? We might have found some answers analysing neural recordings from basal ganglia. Check our latest paper just out on Annals of Neurology: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Spiking Patterns in the Globus Pallidus Highlight Convergent Neural Dynamics across Diverse Genetic Dystonia Syndromes
Objective Genetic dystonia is a complex movement disorder with diverse clinical manifestations resulting from pathogenic mutations in associated genes. A recent paradigm shift emphasizes the functio...
