Targeted tDCS reduces attention deficits following R sided stroke. Great work with behavioural & fMRI studies from the indefatigable Elena Olgiati Imperial Department of Brain Sciences and support of many inc Ines Violante Lucia Li Jennifer Crow Kapsetaki Twins Nir Grossman sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Having observed that grad students are taught almost everything about science and engineering except how to pick a problem, me and Chris Walsh started a class at Stanford on the topic in 2019 (BIOE 395). What follows are eight lessons from the course. 3/53

There is no ‘backstory’ to ending of 2/care NHS Practitioner Health other than (we’re told) - no budget. To remind, it was established following suicide of a psychiatry who also killed her baby and highlighted the barriers doctors have in accessing mental health care.

“Doctors are more burnt-out and under pressure than ever before and now is not the time to cut mental health support.” Dr Latifa responds to the planned ending of new registrations with NHS Practitioner Health. Read the full statement: bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…

Finally, another blogpost from me! I reflect on the importance of moving on from the heroic lone genius/man of science narrative occamstypewriter.org/athenedonald/2…

Finger-prick blood testing🩸shows promise to help traumatic brain injury / Alzheimer's diagnosis, as this remarkable technology continues to improve. Wonderful working with Nicholas Ashton Magda Mike Hanna Henrik Paresh Malhotra @Neurosharp & more on it: academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv…

Really proud of this work, now published in @BrainComms (in MS Word form for now at least) academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv… We consider the ethical conundrums surrounding dementia research, examine the existing legal & ethical guidance, & try to plug some of the gaps in that guidance

Hugely exciting opportunity to join Imperial Department of Brain Sciences & lead our Centre at Imperial! Please share with your networks! 👇

Please come join our team! We are looking for a postdoc to analyse imaging data to help us understand TBI. It’s a great time to join us with lots of new projects. Please message me if you want to discuss.

🚨new paper 🚨 We looked into the experiences of our older adult #braininjury participants who took part in our home monitoring study to get their views on acceptability, and barriers to adoption: link.springer.com/article/10.118… Work from my MD student Dr Megan Parkinson

Li et al. identified changes in plasma levels of proteins involved in neurodegenerative disease and inflammation in the days following TBI. Different patterns of plasma proteins were associated with distinct brain injury patterns on neuroimaging. tinyurl.com/us2586k9

Loss of smell & taste is an under-recognised and important consequence of traumatic #braininjury - worth asking about, important advice & potential to treat. An ENT surgeon & I discuss, plus a patient perspective! 👇Brainkind
