New preprint alert 🧠 Ever wondered how the cortex and hippocampus communicate during health and what changes during disease? With @DrBreaky and an amazing team, we built the first geometry-aware model of cortico-hippocampal interactions to answer this. [ https://t.co/oyC1HZKqvQ]

Functional interactions between cortex and hippocampus play a central role in cognition and are disrupted in major neurological disorders, but the mechanisms underlying coordinated cortico-hippocam...

Certain faces draw more attention than others. For example, faces signaling emotion elicit quicker and more accurate eye movements compared to faces signaling more neutral displays. However, the use...

A new study by Giorgio et al. (2025) shows women—especially APOE ε4 homozygotes—accumulate more tau for the same amyloid-β compared to men. Key take-home message- sex and genetics both shape Alzheimer’s disease progression.

Nature Communications - In Alzheimer’s disease cohorts with whole genome sequencing and tau and amyloid-β, the authors show that sex, APOE-ε4 and TREM2 impact tau via both Aβ...

Some inspiring words to close OHBM, reflecting on the beauty of the multidisciplinary community. Like Brooke Sutton’s vivid artwork— dynamic & seemingly random—we too may look chaotic, but we self-organise. Such is the magic of collaboration Art: Brooke Sutton, Kalkadoon woman

In brief, higher cerebral arterial elasticity was associated with - higher Mediterranean diet (β = 0.16, p = .019) + - higher moderate-to-vigorous physical (β = 0.28, p < .001), hence I am writing this post from the hotel gym.
