I study memory, motivation, apathy, and anhedonia, in ageing and dementia. Fascinated by the brain in all its complexity.
🚨New paper!🚨 Out now in Lancet Regional Health: WPR, how do we design clinical trials that capture sociocultural and linguistic diversity in dementia and how do we ensure that emerging treatments are accessible to all?
