Today, @abneuro_ published guidelines for using #AlzheimersDisease biomarkers and anti-amyloid therapies in Brazil, a country with significant challenges. I am glad to have led this task force with colleagues and mentors. Articles available at @DementiaNeuro (links below)

Asymptomatic elderly people should not be screened with biomarkers for Alzheimers or Parkinson’s disease. The harm outweighs any possible early pick up I have seen dementia overdiagnosis since Cameron’s incentives it is a serious iatrogenic disorder which needs stamping on

When I have a new fellow or resident in our peripheral nerve clinic, I always teach them the importance of defining the neuropathy clinical syndrome. NCS/EMG are valuable, but the neurological exam is the most important (as it should be in neurology but many have forgotten).…

Glad to announce our special issue @FrontiersIn was a major success with published 30 articles focusing on "Lifestyle and Healthy Aging to Prevent Cognitive Decline and Dementia". Check it out! frontiersin.org/research-topic…

What are the reasons for the repeated failures of clinical trials with anti-amyloid drugs for #Alzheimers disease treatment? It was a pleasure to collaborate with Prof. Forlenza in this much needed discussion just published @DementiaNeuro doi.org/10.1590/1980-5…

Once I… …Get into med school …Match into my #1 residency …Become an attending physician … Make attending money …Get promoted to partner/professor …Buy the car/house THAT is when I’ll finally be happy. But you find out you aren’t. This is called an Arrival Fallacy.

Vinícius Jr. has become the most hated footballer in the world by fighting racism, being decisive in every top game he plays, & having attitudes & actions that 95% of players in history have had. Football world is being dominated by evil & racism, & FIFA is allowing it to be.

Important contribution to the ongoing debate about #Alzheimers disease definition. Proud to see fellow brazilian researchers @CaramelliPaulo , Nitrini and Sousa onboard!

"I voted Rodri for non-football reasons" is basically what every journalist is saying. Alright man lol

As I'm fully back to Twitter/X now, I'd like to reshare this recent paper from our group implicating impairments in translational control mechanism in depressive-like behavior. Check it out if you're interested in the topic! nature.com/articles/s4139…

Eu farei 10x se for preciso. Eles não estão preparados.

Okada-Oliveira et al are on a mission to make cognitive screening faster and easier! They’ve just published a 7-minute brain test in @ArqNeuroPsiq that helps spot dementia early. The M-ACE BR test is short and ready to keep those aging brains in check! fcj9.short.gy/2ZeHHI

This is Vinicius Jr when Real Madrid were losing. This is the mentality. x.com/videos_majal/s…
