Really enjoyed my chat with @AndrewE_Dunn about @FutureHouseSF AI scientist, Kosmos. As a scientist working on dementia at @UKDRI, my hope is that Kosmos and AI in general will accelerate discovery and improve patient’s life faster!

Could standardised brain scans improve tracking of inflammation for neurodegenerative conditions? 🧠 In a new study, @M_Malpetti and Harry Crook (UK DRI at Cambridge) looked at how to make PET scan results more consistent and comparable across research centres 👉

Elegant electrophysiology in human #iPSC neuron, targeting #epilepsy treatment today's seminar from Burrone Lab @jbneuro. Cool approach, mix 70 excitatory:30 inhibitory neuron ratio in culture, RNA-seq, collaboration with Ule Lab @UKDRI @KingsIoPPN 👏

Excellent recent series from @TheLancet on Alzheimer's disease bringing together international experts including Prof Nick Fox (UK DRI at UCL) to distill a century of research into actionable insights 🧠 Read the full series 👉

Congratulations to all the finalists in the #WiNUKAwards 2025! 👏 Fantastic to see so many familiar faces across the categories - best of luck to everyone who is nominated 🤞 @soyonhonglab @ValentinaEPrice @DrPujaM

When we’re sleep-deprived, our brains literally take a break 💤 Scans show that lapses in #attention coincide with a wave of fluid flowing out of the brain – a process seen in deep #sleep. Prof Bill Wisden from @UKDRI at @imperialcollege comments 👇 https://t.co/fNzoWVB9zS

Happy to share our latest work led by two talented PhD students, Kevin Ziegler and Aydan Askarova, examining cell type contributions of vascular cell types to dementia risk. Many thanks to the donors, and for support from @UKDRI and @alzassociation. https://t.co/IwSMJAY0w5

🔬 New research 🔬 A study led by Dr @nottalexi at UK DRI at Imperial finds that different brain-cell types are linked to genetic risk for dementia in distinct ways. Read more here 👉 https://t.co/jv38dhW9HR

Congratulations to Dr Wioleta Zelek, who has been awarded the Rising Research Star Award at the Health and Care Research Wales Awards! 👏 The award is for emerging future leaders who are making significant contributions to their field 👉 https://t.co/ARQKQZRFey

An excellent article by @KavitaDatt in today's The New Indian Express on the landmark collaboration between Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF), Centre for Brain Research (CBR), IISc Bengaluru, and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) — a global partnership to

Scientists at the @UKDRI have identified the exact tipping point when the brain falls asleep, revealing it’s an abrupt shift rather than a slow fade. This could help improve sleep disorder treatment and better track brain health. Published in Nature🧠💤 https://t.co/GVVHQMggAR

How does the brain fall asleep? 💤 In a fascinating new study, scientists led by @nir_grossman have been able to pinpoint, for the first time, the exact moment the brain falls asleep, and precisely map the unfolding process in real time 👉 https://t.co/MjjWr1KB8p
