Congratulations to BBAL grad student Annie Lee, who recently published her Master's thesis. She examined the relationships between CSF GAP-43, NFL, sTREM2, white matter hyperintensities and cognition (episodic memory & executive function).

Lee et al. reported that biomarkers of brain dysfunction (neurofilament light chain, growth-associated protein 43) were linked to memory performance. Highe

Update: I serve on the #NIH Aging Systems and Geriatrics Study Section; they are attempting to reschedule our meeting for April. 🤞
March 2, 2025 at 12:30 AM
Another #NIH study section, Brain Injury and Neurovascular Disorders (BIND), which was scheduled to meet tomorrow (Thursday and Friday), was just canceled. Dr. Jasmeet Hayes serves on that study section. For those of you who thought NIH study sections being canceled was over, it's not.
36 hours before we are scheduled to meet, #NIH NIA Aging Systems and Geriatrics (ASG) Study panel has been canceled. Devastating news for all of those working so hard on issues related to #aging #AlzheimersDisease #BrainHealth @jmgrohneuro.bsky.social @altnih4science.bsky.social

My travel to DC for NIH study section next week was just cancelled but SRO indicates that things will proceed as planned over zoom. I’m disappointed because i was really looking forward to talking to other scientists & hearing about their university’s responses to all this 💩@jmgrohneuro.bsky.social

The Buckeye Brain Aging Lab (B-BALers) will be presenting research findings at #INS2025inNOLA. Come say hello, check out their work, and talk #Aging, #Fitness, #Cognition, and #BrainHealth with these awesome scientists!

I received an email from my NIH SRO reminding me to complete my critiques. Seems like NIA study section for me (this month) is a go. @jmgrohneuro.bsky.social

a few news outlets have picked up a story about my exercise breaks while I lecture: www.wdrb.com/news/wdrb-vi...

A veteran who served in Iraq emailed and said he used exercise breaks to keep his soldiers awake, aware, and fit. Let me know if you use exercise breaks to optimize your performance!
Psychology professor at Ohio State incorporates exercise into classwork
He says the exercise breaks are helping students improve their attention span during class.

Impact and Implications of Neurocognitive Dysfunction in the Management of Ischemic Heart Failure

Neurocognitive dysfunction is common in heart failure (HF), with 30% to 80% of patients experiencing some degree of deficits in one or more cognitive domains.

Nice paper by Rui Wang et al. (2025) in Neurology with over 1000 70-year-olds and multiple measures of #cognition, #physical performance, and MRI gray matter and white matter integrity. I blogged about it😀 @PsychToday www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/op...
Cognition, Physical Performance, and Brain Health at Age 70
The "optimal" group of 70-year-olds had more education, less cardiovascular risk, less white matter disease, thicker cortex, and larger brain volume compared with others.

I wrote this Psychology Today blog to summarize the modifiable variables that reduce dementia risk (Livingston et al 2017; 2020; 2024 papers published in The Lancet). Those interested in more details can read the original articles cited at the end of the blog! www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/op...
Can I Prevent Dementia?
There is no pharmacological cure for neurodegenerative diseases that cause dementia, but addressing modifiable risk factors for dementia could prevent or delay dementia onset.

Shout out to @imagingneurosci.bsky.social Our paper received 3 fair, constructive, and helpful reviews in a timely manner (< 1 month). This is not to say they were easy reviews 😇. It was a refreshing experience and now my grad student has unrealistic expectations of the peer review process 😂!

1st post here 😀: sharing our most challenging (and fun) study to date: having participants exercise in the bore of an MRI scanner. All you need is an air compressor, vacuum, air hoses, cables, MRI compatible stepper…& a scanner🤪. Published @imagingneurosci.bsky.social
