🧠 The intersection of #autoimmunity and #neurodegeneration is gaining attention—and for good reason. Join Dr. Marina Jendrach, Dr. Wesley Brooks, and Dr. Marit Ruitenberg as they dive into emerging research that could reshape how we understand and treat Alzheimer’s disease.…
As we age, we move slower and less precisely—but how much, exactly? We analyzed one of the largest datasets on motor control to date. Findings: Reaction time: –1.2 ms/year Movement time: –2.3 ms/year Precision: –0.02°/year tinyurl.com/f9v66jut
Sharing our latest article published in @journal_PD! We found that practice effects on neuropsychological tests can serve as predictors of future cognitive decline in people with #Parkinsons. As such, they may aid early detection and tailored treatment doi.org/10.1177/187771…
Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @Brain1878 If you agree with the sentiments please RT. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/issue/14…
Next month @VKoppelmans and myself will discuss our latest AD paper during the @adpdnet Virtual Journal Club session, hope to see you there!
🤓 Mark your calendars for the next AD/PD™ Journal Club. This session will delve into Classification of Mild Cognitive Impairment (#MCI) and Alzheimer’s Disease Using Manual Motor Measures. Speakers: Marit Ruitenberg, PhD and Vincent Koppelmans, PhD Moderator: Rajka M. Liscic,…
🤓 Mark your calendars for the next AD/PD™ Webinar. This webinar will delve into the latest novelties in the treatment and lifestyle interventions of #NeurodegenerativeDiseases. Speakers: Dr. Suzanne Hendrix, Dr. Galvin James and Dr. Philip Scheltens Moderator: Dr. Marit…
We're recruiting a PhD candidate to study ways to improve neurocognitive functioning in #multiplesclerosis 🧠 Join our international team 🇳🇱🇨🇭🇺🇸 and come work with @p_zuber_ @HannekeHulst and myself on this project involving behavioral and mri techniques! universiteitleiden.nl/vacatures/2024…
Our latest work, lead by @VKoppelmans, suggests that manual motor measures may have discriminatory value for Alzheimer's classification. Check out our paper in @NeuroKarger to learn more about the potential impact of motor function in this population! doi.org/10.1159/000539…
Did you know that in addition to the characteristic affective symptoms, depression can also result in changes in the motor domain? We wrote a blog for @LeidenPsy to acknowledge the breadth of functions that depression may affect leidenpsychologyblog.nl/articles/more-…
