1/ Did you know there are freely resources available for improving the diagnosis and management of #Lewy body #dementia? Check out #diamondlewy at research.ncl.ac.uk/diamondlewy/. A thread…🧵

This is very cool, and I know another independent study showing the same thing. If true, this is a major step towards early detection and treatment of Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Great presentation from Elie Matar at the Sydney Health Annual ForeFront Conference highlighting his framework for understanding cognitive fluctuations in #Dementia with #LewyBodies whilst also plugging our available PhD Scholarships $35,000 AUD per annum: sydney.edu.au/scholarships/c…

Great to hear the U.S. FDA has granted accelerated approval of Lecanemab for the treatment of MCI and AD! If approved in Australia in 2024, we will need health system preparedness for screening, delivery and monitoring Mark Butler MP Australian Dementia Network - ADNeT Dementia Australia

Fantastic opportunity for junior/early career researchers interested in #Lewybody #dementia to share their work and connect on an international scale. Join the community via the website. Registration and submissions open now for the 2023 #NextGenDLB conference - May 26/27th!

If you're interested in joining me to study a PhD in #Lewy body #dementia using mice, human post-mortem tissue and cultured slices of human brain tissue, with a supportive team dedicated to your development and success, please have a look - bit.ly/3XZKs0W

Calling all LBD researchers, excited to announce another #NextGen #DLB meeting Nov 17/18. Registrations open for all & accepting abstracts from E/MCRs (<10yrs PhD/fellowship). Great way to spread your work and catch up with the latest research in the field.nextgendlb.com

Amazing postdoc research opportunity for anyone interested in mathematical modelling of biological systems (in this case sleep dynamics) to join us in Sydney Physics! 🥳

Interested in learning about the development of an LBD-specific clinical scale? Do you have any thoughts you want to share? Join us at poster 696! I'll be there between 1245 and 1415. Otherwise, feel free to communicate via DM #AAIC23 Lewy Body Dementias PIA LBDA Lewy Body Society

Exciting new paper on time-restricted feeding and amyloid pathology. Congrats to Paula Desplats and team! Circadian modulation by time-restricted feeding rescues brain pathology and improves memory in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease: Cell Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis…

Excited about #MDSCongress in #Copenhagen. Looking forward to some great scientific discussion and the collision of friends, colleagues and mentors across the globe! Kailash Bhatia Simon Lewis MDS

A non-technical write up of our recent paper Nature Computational Science is now published in The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand We make an analogy between our organization of scientific methods for measuring pairwise interactions and musical instruments in an orchestra. theconversation.com/from-stock-mar…

Great to see Chaminda's first paper getting published on such an important topic: #Prodromal #DLB Psychiatric-onset rdcu.be/dnK4V Hopefully, we can use this information to diagnose #LewyBody #Dementia at an early stage where we can better intervene

Be sure to sign up and register (free!) for the NextGen DLB Webinar on Nov 17/18. Really looking forward to hearing from talented colleagues and seeing the latest work across these topical subjects. Less than a week to go! Program 👇

Get amongst it. Very cool new site for tracking advances in science. thetransmitter.org/?s=09

Pleased to share this update by Dr Anna Volkmer, Charles Marshall and friends, identifying six of many vexing issues surrounding primary progressive aphasia link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Less than 5 hours until 8 early career investigators present their newest (D)LB research at the NextGen DLB webinar. Some arias are included... NextGen DLB members can still register to attend: nextgendlb.com/webinars/regis…

A systematic review of fMRI findings in PD with and without RBD shows a pattern where PD+RBD+ demonstrate decreased functional connectivity across the whole brain and brainstem, but increased connectivity in the cerebellum and frontal lobe. loom.ly/QPF7eqw

Very proud to share the first paper of my PhD! Big shoutout to my supervisors Simon Lewis Elie Matar as well as my amazing friends and colleagues for all their encouragement and guidance. Lachlan Churchill Ajay Konuri Jack Anderson Isabella Orlando doi.org/10.1093/brain/…

Should we talk more about visual hallucinations in Parkinson's disease and central cholinergic dysfunction? Should we be developing more therapies aimed at cholinergic dysfunction. Ignatavicius, Lewis and colleagues Brain have a GREAT article on the topic which is a
