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/s4152… @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/10.100…

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/101/12…

🌍 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/articl…

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

Describe your research with an emoji 🧐.

On May 5 from 10-5:30pm, @ESantarnecchi will join other leading #FTDresearchers & experts as a presenter for #AFTD2023EducationConference. The hybrid event will feature interactive presentations for in-person & virtual attendees! Register today: bit.ly/3lIKdJX

@ESantarnecchi Pictures to follow!

Had a lot of fun during this year’s #BAW! Our team curated a Virtual Expo for the #Metabrain event to present the effects of VR and videogames on the 🧠. @ESantarnecchi also spoke about the potential of gaming, VR and AI in clinical settings, from psychotherapy to Dementia!

New collaborations loading... Our director was busy at the start of the new year setting up some new collaborations with the University of San Carlos in Brazil, working on new interventions for Stroke Rehabilitation combining #Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and physical exercise!
