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

Using ultra-high field 7T MRI 🧲, we present evidence for a functional pathway in humans connecting the amygdala and other early NFT accumulation sites in the anterior hippocampus 🍤 (6/8)

However, this does not entirely track with the assumption that NFT progression follows connectivity pathways! The lateral entorhinal region has preferential connections rather with posterior than anterior hippocampus 👀 . Thus, anterior NFTs lack a plausible trajectory (4/8)

We propose that the amygdala plays a role in how NFT pathology progresses within the medial temporal lobe. Within the hippocampus, early NFTs are found in anterior and posterior regions, with a paucity of pathology in the middle. (3/8)

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.
