It was really great to be at #EuroPAD this week to present my research on the hypothalamus in dementia. Also managed to spend some time exploring the beautiful Barcelona. Now back to much colder ground for Swedish midsummer. @barcelonabeta.bsky.social

🚨 New paper! 🚨
Increasing age and APOE4 is associated with hypothalamic changes and worse sleep in two large cohorts studies.
I've learnt so much working with this project and it's amazing to see it in published form!

Hypothalamic volume, sleep, and APOE genotype in cognitively healthy adults
INTRODUCTION
Sleep dysfunction in those at higher risk of dementia may be associated with early structural changes to the hypothalamus.
METHODS
We used multivariate regression to analyze self-repo.....

A systematic review of diffusion tensor imaging in Lewy-body Dementia.
I'm really proud that this complex paper is now available.
The figure shows the brain regions with changes in AD (red) and DLB (green), as shown by DTI.
