Great to see this published @movedisorder.bsky.social movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...: We found that DTI-ALPS (a proposed indirect proxy for glymphatic clearance) is lower in Parkinson's patients who progress to poor cognitive outcomes, and correlates with cognition. 1/2
Impaired Glymphatic Clearance, Measured Using Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI‐ALPS), is Linked to Poor Cognitive Outcomes in Parkinson's Disease
Background Impaired glymphatic clearance may contribute to pathological accumulations in Parkinson's (PD), but how it interacts with other processes causing dementia remains unclear. Diffusion tenso...

Pleased to share our new work. Black communities face higher Parkinson’s disease burden, but we know they remain underrepresented in research.
We highlight the key barriers - distrust, stigma, and accessibility - and offer community-driven recommendations to increasing research engagement.

Really pleased to share our new paper in @alzdemjournals.bsky.social. We compared plasma biomarkers and diffusion MRI between DLB, PDD and PD – to our knowledge this is the first report of plasma p-tau217 concentrations in LBD and PD! dx.doi.org/10.1002/alz....
Neuroimaging and plasma biomarker differences and commonalities in Lewy body dementia subtypes
INTRODUCTION Despite ongoing debate about whether Parkinson's disease (PD) dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are separable diseases or a single Lewy body dementia (LBD) spectrum, th...

Thank you so much to @braincomms.bsky.social for highlighting our work! TLDR: white matter maters - do read the paper for more! And thank you to all amazing co-authors without whom this project would not have been possible (amongst them on bluesky: @naomihannaway.bsky.social @rimonaweil.bsky.social)
