Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050. Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: buff.ly/46nvoPR

Wanting to automatically segment the #hippocampus from T1w MRI, but don't know which method to use? Well, we tested basically all the open source ones so you don't have to do it yourself. See the results here: medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #mri #neuroimaging

Participants needed! You can help make new medicines safer! 💊We, researchers from the University of South Australia, want to know what you know about reporting unwanted medicine effects, especially with the Therapeutic Goods Administration's Black Triangle Scheme. We are

Very grateful to take home the Robert Penhall early career researcher award today at the AAG South Australian Gerontology Conference for my work on EEG and delirium vulnerability during my PhD at UniSA! Paper coming very soon!!!

👏 👏 👏 to Dr Monique Boord 🧠 on the publication of her final PhD paper - Neurophysiological patterns reflecting vulnerability to delirium subtypes: a resting-state EEG and ER study academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv… Daniel Feuerriegel Prof Marta Garrido Daniel Davis AustralasianDelirium delirium neuroscience

I am so happy to finally have this paper out into the world! We preoperatively measured EEG and ERPs in older adults weeks prior to their cardiac procedure (and delirium) to investigate whether we can index neural vulnerability to developing delirium 🧠 academic.oup.com/braincomms/adv…

New paper alert! 🚨 Using a 24hr compositional approach, we found that not all sedentary behaviour is “bad” for cognition in older adults, and recreational PA may be most beneficial - but for cardiometabolic health, every minute of PA counts 🏃 academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol…

📜🎉 I have a new preprint: a systematic review of clinical investigations of aperiodic activity! I reviewed 143 reports from across 35 disorders, to summarize current results, evaluate current practices, and make some recommendations for future work: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

⁦Gideon Caplan⁩ baffled about the absence of #delirium as a key risk factor for dementia 🤔

Boord et al. report neurophysiological markers of delirium weeks before elective cardiac procedures in older adults. Resting-state EEG & event-related potentials may predict delirium risk. Read at: shorturl.at/nSQMY #Delirium #EEG #Neurophysiology Dr Monique Boord 🧠

Rapid development of confusion isn't normal at any age! If your loved one is suddenly confused or disoriented, think #delirium. Seek professional help urgently. #WDAD2025 #DeliriumAware

🧠😟 Research in #delirium is growing rapidly, but the fact is that globally most people with delirium: 🔶 Are not diagnosed 🔶 Receive no/incomplete treatment 🔶 Do not have preventive measures applied ➡️ We need to do much better #WDAD2025

Join us on today March 12th for World Delirium Awareness Day as we advocate for better recognition & management of this serious condition. Together, we can improve care for millions. More info: deliriumday.com #WDAD2025

The clinical distinction between #dementia & #delirium is critical, yet still frequently overlooked. A delirium diagnosis leads to a different care pathway. Don't mix them up, & don't conflate delirium & dementia. #WDAD2025

For #WDAD2025 consider joining one of our societies or attending one of our conferences. AustralasianDelirium (Cairns July 2025); American Delirium Society (Nashville June 2025) and European Delirium (Hamburg Nov 2025)
