Cognitive Ageing and Impairment Neurosciences Lab, part of @BBBRC_ @UniversitySA. Led by A/Prof Tobias Loetscher and Prof Hannah Keage. Views are our own.
1000s of studies have been published mapping neuroanatomical changes in psychiatric disorders. Can we ever converge on robust disease phenotypes? Our latest PP led by @TrangCao2016 in a huge collab effort investigates this question... @NSB_Lab
The Delirium & Delirium Communications journals are dedicated to delirium. Open access with very low fees for authors ($300 total for accepted papers). Got a study, review, case history, QI project, or protocol on #delirium to share? Submit here 👇
Fantastic presentation Yonas! 🙌
We’ve been told delirium is associated with every poor health outcome but had no comprehensive evidence of that… until now! Fantastic work Yonas @CAIN_Lab
Looking forward to hearing @Cunningham_Colm talk about delirium pathophysiology at @ANZDA_delirium #2025DECLARED!

So great to hear all about the DIVULGE 2 study starting this year!! From the one and only Hannah from @CAIN_Lab #DECLARED2025
Members and alumni of @CAIN_Lab here in sunny Cairns @ANZDA_delirium #DECLARED2025!

Great to hear @CAIN_Lab alumni @MoniqueBoord talk about her PhD work at the DECLARED conference @ANZDA_delirium!

Great work @cross_zachariah 🙌
This study establishes how aperiodic activity develops in localized brain regions and illuminates the development of prefrontal control during adolescence in the development of attention and memory. @cross_zachariah @NUFeinbergMed @NorthwesternU nature.com/articles/s4156…

Naps are a part of daily life in many countries (as in my birthplace). But are they protective or harmful for dementia? We tackled this question by following naps up to 17 years in 1,000 participants, linking them to Alzheimer’s risk & pathology: doi.org/10.1038/s43856… Led by…
🧠💓 New study reveals that cardiometabolic health shapes brain structure and function during aging. WMHs, ventricle size, and EEG spectral changes are linked via allostatic load. 📄 In NeuroImage: t.ly/G7Lw7
In a recent paper, the neuroscientist Sharna Jamadar reviewed studies from simultaneous MRI and PET imaging that measure the brain’s energy use. Her work shows that an active brain consumes just 5% more energy than a resting one. quantamagazine.org/how-much-energ…
Hahah - just a standard Friday…
Fun times at the CAIN labs today. The interesting creatures you meet during a fire alarm.
