Paper alert 🚨 We found that older adults with both cognitive and olfactory impairments were more likely to progress to dementia in the short term. The association between having only olfactory dysfunction and progression to dementia remained stable 🧠👃 doi.org/10.1007/s113...
Olfactory dysfunction increases progression to dementia in cognitively impaired older adults: a 12-year population-based study - GeroScience
Olfactory deficits are hypothesized to precede cognitive decline and be independently associated with future dementia. Conversely, the concurrency of cognitive and olfactory impairments is expected to...

I am glad to share our latest publication on the brain correlates of olfactory decline in aging 👃We have found that not only brain atrophy but also cerebrovascular burden may play a role in the progressive deterioration of odor identification 🧠 🫀 doi.org/10.3389/fnag...

Glad to see this relevant study finally published. Check it out! 🔎🧠
🧩 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.

Just over a week ago, I was in Madrid participating at the XVI Congress of Neuropsychology organized by FANPSE, discussing sex differences in PD and DLB 🧠👨🦳 It was two intense days of learning and networking with great professionals. Thank you for the invitation, and see you next year in Valencia! 🏠

I’ve been invited to present my research at the Imaging Seminar of the Center for Alzheimer’s Research at @ki.se
I’ll be discussing the central olfactory system and its implications for Alzheimer’s disease. 👃🧠
