Glad to have this work published! Priya Gami and Marta Scarioni combined their efforts and showed that loss of #vonEconomoNeurons #VENs and their related neurons are linked to the severity of behavioural symptoms in #FTD pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35152451/

NIC-FTD member Marta Scarioni just published this interesting study in Brain ! She found that #FTD often debuts with psychiatric symptoms. Read the entire article here:

Register for the upcoming TN2 #webinar now: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… On February 16, you can learn about #ArtificialIntelligence in neuroscience. Betty Tijms will focus her lecture on ATTAPONG's disease and Arman Eshaghi's talk is focused on multiple sclerosis. See you there!

Alpha synuclein is sooo 20th century New paper from Kordower & colleagues "suggests that the initiation of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurodegeneration occurs independently of alpha-synuclein aggregation & can be tau mediated"; Implications 4 #Parkinsons? academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Our preprint is out! Connor Maltby used CANVAS patient iNeurons to interrogate how AAGGG repeats in RFC1 cause neurodegeneration. Findings suggest repeat removal but not RFC1 replacement corrects phenotypes -pointing way to a potential therapy. #Ataxia biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Happy to share our newest mammoth preprint 🎉 our data suggest an RFC1-independent mechanism of toxicity in CANVAS, instead pointing towards a direct role for the AAGGG repeat expansion itself in eliciting synaptic dysfunction of CANVAS neurons 🧠

Don’t miss your chance to contribute to the #ISFTD2024 programme. Submit your abstract before 1 April! Questions regarding abstract submission? Please get in touch with the congress secretariat at [email protected] or visit the website isftd2024.org.

There are only a few days left to submit your abstract for #ISFTD2024. Don't miss your chance to contribute - we would love to see you there! Submit your abstract via ⬇️ isftd2024.org/abstract-submi…

If you haven't diagnosed the CANVAS ataxia syndrome, you have probably been missing cases. Countdown to the the Aspen MDS movement disorders course later this month has commenced, and today we highlight this disorder, and we share a new paper by Hirano and colleagues in nature

🔔 Reminder that you now have only one week left to submit your late-breaking abstract for #ISFTD2024! Abstracts consisting of results that were not yet known or fully available at the time of the previous abstract submission deadline are still welcome: isftd2024.org/abstract-submi…

Looking forward to meet more #EMCRs at the #ISFTD2024 conference in my hometown Amsterdam! Don’t forget to sign up 👇🏽! International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias Frontotemporal Dementia and Related Disorders PIA NIC-FTD Alzheimercentrum Amsterdam (inactief)
