Our colleague Manizhe Eslami Amirabadi just had a new article published in @FrontNeurol: "Additive effect of patient anosognosia and theory of mind deficit on dementia caregiver distress." This paper shows that anosognosia (unawareness of illness) and theory of mind deficits (inability to imagine what others are thinking) can occur in any dementia syndrome, even at the earliest stages, and that each of these symptoms can independently cause increased caregiver distress. We also found that when a patient has both symptoms together, this is particularly devastating for caregivers' well-being. This makes it crucial to screen for both problems when evaluating an individual for any midlife cognitive or behavioral concerns.💡🧠 📖Learn more here: frontiersin.org/journals/neu… @UCSFmac

How do we choose music for others, especially for those with dementia who cannot always express their preferences? Ethical playlist curation honors the lived experiences of individuals, recognizing that music’s effects🎶 are deeply personal, relational, and culturally embedded. This recent paper by lab members Aaron Colverson @acolverson1 and Bailey McEachen poses a framework guided by the concept of musical humility. It sees playlist creation as an ongoing, collaborative process, asking not only what works, but for whom, in what contexts, and why. 🎵Learn more about this here: jbrainhealth.org/article/157… @UCSFmac
