Understanding the 3 Main Types of Pain 1. Nociceptive Pain This is the most common type of pain. It happens when parts of your body, like your skin or muscles, get hurt or damaged. Special cells in your body (called nociceptors) send pain signals to your brain. 2. Neuropathic

Bell et al. report that multisite chronic pain, unlike single-site, in older adults is linked to faster cognitive decline and increased AD pathology, particularly in APOE-ɛ4 carriers. This supports multisite pain as a risk factor for AD dementia. Read at buff.ly/tXL0Qro

📣Our new paper, led by Victoria Tennant, sets tau cut points in a large cohort of Hispanic, and non-Hispanic Black and White participants using PI-2620 PET. ⭐️The ability of our tau cut points to distinguish cognitively impaired vs unimpaired people varied by ethnoracial group.

Excited to share my new study with the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging team (Jeremy Elman The Panizzon Lab) published in #JINS showing that moderate-to-severe chronic pain and opioid use are independently related to risk of mild cognitive impairment. tinyurl.com/y88k5z4j UC San Diego

I’m looking for a postdoc to join me at UCSD, ideally a clinical psychologist PhD who can deliver mindfulne as well as write papers and do analyses. I have one of the world’s largest psychophysiology datasets of opioid misuse, OUD, & chronic pain. Competitive salary. DM or email.

First poster done at #AAIC2025. 😊 Grateful to my lab Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging, mentors (Jeremy Elman The Panizzon Lab), and my funding from The National Institute on Aging (NIA) for being able to do this research.

At #AAIC25, Pablo Aguilar presented data showing that the link between neighborhood deprivation and cognition/Alzheimer’s pathology differs by sex, race/ethnicity, and APOE4 status in U.S.Pointer. Important insights into how social determinants intersect with biology.

Editorial from JAMA: The US POINTER study suggests that modest lifestyle interventions can enhance cognitive health in aging populations, offering a practical and cost-effective approach to dementia prevention. ja.ma/3INfmXO #AAIC2025

New findings out today on the relationship between age at menopause and dementia. With data from the Swedish Twin Registry we show that early menopause increases dementia risk, but there's a catch. Fantastic work by Ursual Saelzler. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…
