The lack of specialist follow up and input for a large proportion of people with dementia in the UK still manages to shock me. This is something that really needs to be addressed.

Cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) can cause stroke and dementia, but has no cure. With @ukdri.ac.uk, we're supporting a clinical study at @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social to test whether XBD173, a shelved anxiety drug, can reduce brain damage in people with cSVD.

Universality and diversity in human song Songs exhibit universal patterns across cultures.

Music is universal. It varies more within than between societies and can be described by a few key dimensions. Thatโ€™s because brains operate by using the raw materials of music: oscillations (brainwaves).

Really nice study led by Claire Lancaster and supported by other brilliant Sussex colleagues - in particular former PhD student Jess Daly. Greebles task is sensitive to subtle perceptual deficits in APOE e4 carriers in mid-life (which get worse with age and number of e4 alleles).
