Procrastinated over the weekend and made a bunch of Neuroscience word puzzles. 😂
DM me for a sample set.

Happy 32nd Birthday to ApoE in Dementia research🎈
On this day in 1993, Dr. Allen D. Roses (et al.) published that the presence of APOE4 genotype reliably predicts risk of early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Needless to say the AD research community was skeptical.

Did you know that #neuronal #processes arrange perpendicular to #vascular direction around #penetratingarterioles and arterial end #capillaries? 🤔 I have speculated that this may enhance #neurovascularcoupling. Here I show examples in the #human #brain. 🧠 vb.bioscientifica.com/view/journal...

Since everyone else is doing it… Here’s a starter pack for researchers studying the most interesting allele in AD. go.bsky.app/PDtaUP6 Let me know if you want to be added (doesn’t have to be the sole focus of your research). Also, it turns out a lot of my favorite APOE4 folks aren’t on bluesky yet.

It will come as no surprise that I find amyloid antibodies to be dangerous, expensive, and not worth it, but WOW. Shouldn’t the ICF state that APOE genotype can impact risk and provide that info, if the participant wants?
