Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia or Alzheimer’s? Researchers at @MassGenBrigham and @BIDMChealth are investigating novel brain stimulation therapies in patients with FTD and AD. For more info: bit.ly/3T6Wv9J bit.ly/3sWVVAA

Check out this conversation between @ESantarnecchi and @emilio_cozzi with @Radio24_news about the potential of using videogames 🎮 as a digital therapy. What if something as simple as playing on your phone could help you detect Alzheimer’s disease? 🤔 #Videogame #brain

Our director @ESantarnecchi had a fantastic time at the 2023 BrainMind Summit in San Francisco this past month. Always exciting to discuss the future of neurotechnology and AI! 🧠 🤖 #AI #ethicsintech #neurotechnology #BrainMind

We used biophysical modeling to explore the potential of TMS in space. 🚀🧠 Our research investigates how structural brain changes during long-term space missions might impact TMS efficacy. ➡️ nature.com/articles/s41526-0… @Nature_NPJ @SaraRomanella @ESantarnecchi @FlorisWuyts

Check out our latest study conducted on the impact of noninvasive brain stimulation of the vestibular system to mitigate #cybersickness during #VR experiences. Interesting applications for #gaming and the #Metaverse.  🎮 ➡️link.springer.com/article/10…

Just released in time for #FTDAwarenessweek : the choroid plexus was found to be larger in #Frontotemporal #dementia patients and its dimension correlates with disease severity, NfL and #cognitive deficits! @AFTDHope @TheADDF @ESantarnecchi n.neurology.org/content/101/…

🌍 Today marks the beginning of World FTD Awareness Week – a global call to #endFTD. The theme for today is self-care. Whether you're a caregiver, someone with a genetic link to FTD, or directly impacted by it, prioritizing your well-being matters. Here's how you can join in: 1️⃣ Start with a small act of self-care today. Meet up with a friend, take a stroll, relish a favorite spot, or indulge in a good book or some treasured music. Dedicate a few moments to caring for yourself. 2️⃣ Share your self-care journey on social media and inspire others to do the same. Visit this link for messaging and graphics you can share: bit.ly/3PNSsAE 3️⃣ Show your support by changing your profile picture on social media. Follow our simple instructions at the link above.

Our director @ESantarnecchi had a blast (😉) visiting NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX last week to discuss #brainhealth in space, cognitive enhancement and neuroscience-inspired A.I. applications. More to come soon! 🚀🧠#AI #NASA #Space

It’s important to distinguish the facts from the myths about #Alzheimers, especially when it comes to finding information online. Learn the facts about common myths surrounding Alzheimer’s disease here: go.nia.nih.gov/3XprTUH #AlzheimersAwareness

Thank you to @AFTDHope for the opportunity to attend your 2023 Education Conference! @ESantarnecchi joined other experts in the field to discuss all the exciting ways that #FTDresearch is progressing! Recordings from the conference can be found at ➡bit.ly/3qZ4yg8

Check out this very interesting study on phase-dependent enhancement & suppression of brain oscillations via #tACS. Congratulations @DavidHaslacher & @ssoekadar, thanks for letting me contribute! An important step to push tACS forward! #NIBS @PNNResearch sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

What is FTD? 👉 It's the most common form of dementia for people under 60. FTD is caused by degeneration of the frontal and/or temporal lobes of the brain. For information on FTD subtypes, please click here: bit.ly/3OSkA5A

Join the "Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia, with a Focus on Frontotemporal Degeneration" webinar tomorrow at 3:30 pm ET. Learn about the signs, symptoms, and available resources for this common form of dementia in people under 60. Register now at bit.ly/3MOJXUH
