Discover our latest research published in #NeurochemicalResearch, revealing that all NOS isoforms are overexpressed in the hippocampus of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. While overexpression of nNOS in all hippocampal regions correlates with cognitive impairment, only the…
We’re excited about the great response to our research on alcohol and dementia! Check out our featured articles in Forbes and The Washington Post, where we explore the impacts of alcohol consumption on brain health and the risks associated with drinking. Forbes:…
Heavy alcohol consumption was related to lower brain weight, small vessel disease and AD pathology. Hyaline arteriolosclerosis mediated the association between alcohol use and poor cognitive abilities. Kudos to @albertofojusto for leading this study. neurology.org/doi/abs/10.121…
I'm thrilled to share that our study is getting coverage from major outlets like The Sun, CNN, and the American Academy of Neurology! aan.com/PressRoom/home…
🚨 Our latest study, published in @GreenJournal shows brain vascular changes can mediate worse cognitive decline due to alcohol consumption. Check out neurology.org/doi/pdf/10.121…
Check out our latest article, where we investigate hospital admission rates and hospital mortality related to dementia in Brazil for the years 2010 and 2019. @natggoncalves @AdrianaNancyMed @reparadela @marlon_aliberti @CleusaFerri @clausuemoto alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Our study is just out at @JAMANetworkOpen! We investigated the association of neuropathology and race in more than 1,000 brains. @gerolab1 @FMUSPoficial @alzassociation let's discuss this study Sunday at #AICC24 P734
In this cross-sectional study of Brazilian older adults, neuritic plaques were less frequent in Black participants compared with White participants, while small vessel disease and siderocalcinosis were more frequent. @clausuemoto ja.ma/3YjZ3rk
