⚡️We are delighted to confirm more invited speakers at #BNSSpring2026! Meeting registration is open: the-bns.org/meetings. ABSTRACT DEADLINE: March 6th 2026🧠

Last chance to apply to Summer CAMP at the @Cambridge_Uni!! A great opportunity for undergrads to flex those research proposal muscles to prep for PhD applications! psychiatry.cam.ac.uk/study-us/summe….

I am pleased @guardian showed the King's delight at our study of parallel transmit 7T MRI in Epilepsy. I am similarly delighted that it enabled a third of patients with negative conventional imaging to be offered a curative surgical treatment onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ep…

Thanks to all the people who've been so positive about my new book. It's about how neurological patients can tell us so much about our selves, how personal and social identities are forged by different cognitive functions, and what it means to belong.

Henderson et al. developed a checklist to screen for primary progressive aphasia using picture description tasks, achieving high accuracy in identifying cases & distinguishing motor vs. lexico-semantic subtypes. Read at:buff.ly/40YCMPb @HendersonShalom@mrccbu@CambridgeFTD

Delighted that our study exploring behaviour changes across FTD is now published in Brain 🧠

Rouse et al (@mattr19909) explore the similarities and differences in behavioural profiles between behavioural-variant and semantic dementia subtypes of frontotemporal dementia, and their neuropsychological and neuroanatomical underpinnings: doi.org/10.1093/brain/…

Investigating semantic cognition in people with lvPPA, @HendersonShalom et al. report 2 key findings: Patients’ performance declines in line with increasing semantic control demands & pattern of decline is true for both verbal & non-verbal semantic tasks: doi.org/10.1093/brainc…

Rouse et al. report that social- and non-social semantic memory are degraded in frontotemporal dementia following bilateral anterior temporal lobe atrophy. Read at: buff.ly/3BKsOsr @mattr19909 @Ajay_Halai @SidRamanan @pg220 @CambridgeFTD @mrccbu

You don't need high tech to get accurate diagnostic separation of dementia Simple item-level analysis of low-tech ("paper & pencil") short carer questionnaire gives high accuracy From Alex Murley @CambridgeBRC N=2500 people, 11 conditions alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… @alazassociation

I'm thrilled to have been awarded the Milo Keynes Prize. I'm very grateful to my supervisors Matt Lambon Ralph, James Rowe @CambridgeFTD and Karalyn Patterson for all the support!

Social-semantic knowledge in frontotemporal dementia and anterior temporal lobe resection - laterality and severity =Social- and non–social-semantic deficits highly correlated =No left vs. right difference in social-semantic knowledge @mattr19909 @mrccbu academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

I am recruiting for 2 posts to join our FTD research! A research assistant or postdoc working on PET and coordination of a new study: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49140/ A biostatistician to work on blood-based markers in ONFIRE: jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49134/ Deadline 8th Dec - share widely!

New paper – Matt Rouse (@mattr19909) and colleagues assembled a neuropsychological battery to explore social-semantic knowledge in #FTD and its relation to general conceptual knowledge: doi.org/10.1093/brainc…

@MichaelSchwimm1 Nice one!

Very happy to say I passed my PhD Viva on Friday! Thanks to my examiners @BenSteventon2 and @BertaVerd for a stimulating and enlightening discussion! Many thanks go to my supervisor, Elia Benito-Gutiérrez ( @eBGLab ) for her wisdom and guidance throughout the project! #PhDone 🎉

Ramanan et al. examine the evolution of clinical phenotypes in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or FTLD, and show that behavioural and cognitive profiles of individuals with the same initial diagnosis can converge or diverge over time. tinyurl.com/4c6ymf2x

Very excited to share the preprint of one of my main PhD projects! Huge thanks to @CambridgeFTD and Matt Lambon Ralph for the supervision of my PhD and to my fantastic co-authors @SidRamanan @mattr19909 @tccambs @Ajay_Halai and my mentor, the brilliant Karalyn Patterson! Read 👇
