In our recent work, we elucidate the underlying mechanism of language abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease, such as overusing pronouns and verbs. The insights were gained from a comparison between English and Persian. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited that this paper is published by PNAS today where we show how speakers maintain a balance between the complexity of words and syntax; and how this property may assist aphasia patients to better communicate
Big thanks to @DickersonLabMGH @LanguageMIT @kmahowald @raryskin

Our new #superaging paper out now in Cerebral Cortex! tinyurl.com/rv66eauh
We show that superagers (older adults with youthful memory) retain their selective and efficient ability to process visual stimuli, allowing them to form distinct memories.

Our behavioral neurology/neuro psychiatry field has lost a (too young) giant. We will miss you Dan, and our hearts go out to your family, friends, and patients

Behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry lost an important member of the field today, and I lost a mentor and friend. Ave atque vale. @UNCneurology #Neurology #neuropsychiatry #BNNP
