‼️NEW PREPRINT‼️

What if you could take a normal 3T T1w MRI and make it look like it was acquired from a 7T scanner?

That's exactly what we do using AI in our new preprint!

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at Columbia University

Demenzdiagnosen sind aufwendig und werden oft spät gestellt. @davidberron.bsky.social und Kollegen am @dzne.science in Magdeburg haben eine 📱-App mit Gedächtnistests entwickelt. Damit können schon früh Gedächtnisprobleme erkannt werden, die auf eine #Demenz hinweisen ➡️ tinyurl.com/4ynfazxm #dementia

It was an intense two days at the seminar on #digital #approaches in #neuropsychology as part of the Psychology Master's program in Clinical Neuroscience.
The highlight was the hands-on experience with digital tools in different use cases, each highlighting a specific strength of digital approaches

Can remote and unsupervised smartphone-based cognitive assessments detect cognitive impairment in AD and, in combination with novel blood biomarkers, predict future cognitive decline? We investigated this in the Swedish BioFINDER study - check out our new paper tinyurl.com/DigitalBioma...

New paper day! "Multiband acquisition sequences for fMRI: Proceed with caution" apertureneuro.org/article/9129... VERY proud of this one as it's my first editorial piece. Big thanks to @layerfmri.bsky.social and @fmri-today.bsky.social for asking me to do it. #neuroskyence

Alright, I’m finally leaving Twitter so I’ll start using this app for real.
I hope it’ll be more similar to what I loved with the science Twitter I loved and learned so much from years ago.
But first, wishing everyone a good break!

Check out our new review on the amygdala in AD, led by the fantastic Kaitlin Stouffer! It was about time that this structure receives more attention in AD - we even argue for its involvement in an additional NFT progression pathway

It’s not uncommon for people with dementia to get lost or find themselves in unusual situations. Thus, DZNE.de launched the #bademantelchallenge, where people photograph themselves in bathrobes in unusual public places to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and show solidarity with patients and carers.
