📣 Today is a turning point in what we know about brain health.
The results from the U.S. POINTER trial provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S.
The findings, shared for the first time today at #AAIC25, tested lifestyle programs that simultaneously targeted risk factors. The programs focused on:
✅👟Aerobic exercise
✅🧠Cognitive engagement
✅🥗Nutrition
✅🫀Health Monitoring
U.S. POINTER is the largest research commitment the Association has made in its history. The landmark results are testament to our commitment to our mission. Thank you to the study participants, our community, our donors, and the staff who made these findings possible.

And they’re off! 🏃🏿♀️➡️🏃🏽♂️➡️🏃🏻♀️➡️ This morning, #AAIC25 attendees are enjoying stunning waterfront views as they make their way down Toronto’s scenic Martin Goodman Trail during our AAIC 5K Run/Walk.
Excited to see this work out! Combination therapy could be the future of AD treatments. Loved being a part of this study during my time in the Denny lab bridging the ketamine and AD crews. @BriKChen@DrChristineAnnD#ENDALZalzres.biomedcentral.com/art…
We need to talk about the effects of US science funding cuts on the lives of scientists and on the future of discovery & innovation in this country. I am proud to be joining a panel led by @BioRender ft. speakers from across disciplines, career stages, and roles in science (1/3)
My favorite is the Summer lab explosion. I’m always impressed with the passion and new ideas from our summer interns and volunteers!! Thanks Tala Coffee Roasters for an awesome lab meeting space ☕️. Not pictured: My orange juice coffee combo 🤯.
Here, we examine the acute effects of Xanax on fear memory and activated neuronal ensembles. With a single injection, we found memory impairment in both males and females and alterations in hippocampal encoding and retrieval cell activation, specifically in females.
Reminder: if you’re a scientist whose funding has been cut or impacted, I would love to interview you for a podcast I’m working on, to amplify your work. Reach out by DM or email!
Hoping to release our first two episodes next week.
Thanks to @estef_azevedo for artwork!
Disease-modifying anti-amyloid beta treatments are becoming an essential part of neurologists’ repertoire for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
Our commentary highlights the critical factors that will influence the clinical impacts of this treatment class!
