Happy to share the latest paper from the lab!
Big thank you to all collaborators and my PI @drferreirad.bsky.social Data used from the San Pau Initiative on Neurodegeneration.
Our results suggest that patients have proportionally more white matter changes in the cholinergic system.

First paper out from Cene Jerele's doctoral project. We looked into a radiological scale for cholinergic system in patients with Lewy bodies. Data from the Sant Pau Memory Clinic in Barcelona Spain. @ki.se
Jerele et al. report on the potential of the Cholinergic Pathway Hyperintensities Scale (CHIPS) to identify cholinergic white matter damage in Lewy body dementia, linked to frontal atrophy and vascular health. Please read at: buff.ly/vDYXTZz

🧩 Sex differences are key to understanding Alzheimer's progression.
✨ Excited to share our new study, where we show how women and men follow distinct trajectories of brain atrophy and cognition within AD subtypes.

A new study has revealed important insights into brain degeneration in dementia with Lewy bodies. This research, published in JAMA Neurology, could help doctors better monitor and treat this serious brain disease.

Almost half of people with Lewy body dementia are given a different diagnosis first. This leads to delays in getting the correct treatment and care - which can cause significant harm. We often hear families mention it as a possibility to doctors rather than the other way around.
