@PNASNews @MasudHusain @BrainInTheMind @XinYouTai @UniofOxford @NDCNOxford Surprisingly, we found no evidence that Klotho-VS heterozygosity protects against cognitive decline. This challenges previous studies suggesting a cognitive benefit, especially in carriers of APOE ε4. 3/4

@PNASNews @MasudHusain @BrainInTheMind @XinYouTai @UniofOxford @NDCNOxford Using data from over 320k individuals, we found that carrying two copies of APOE ε4 is linked to faster cognitive decline. However, younger female carriers initially perform better than their male counterparts, in what looks like age-dependent antagonistic pleiotropy. 2/4

The effects of apolipoprotein E (APOE) and Klotho genes, both implicated in aging, on human cognition as a function of sex and age are yet to be de...

Older ApoE female ε4 carriers show greater cognitive decline, but younger female homozygous ε4 carriers actually have a cognitive advantage over ε3 carriers, that is not observed in males. Great work @kengoshibata and Oxford Cognitive Neurology team https://t.co/lLk06cqFCQ

Great work now out by @kengoshibata using online assessment to study cognition and memory in ALE patients @MasudHusain @iamcognitron @neurohellyer
thelancet.com
These findings demonstrate that subtle cognitive deficits in patients with chronic ALE, who often show full recovery in measures of disability and dependence on daily activities, are detectable using...

Nice to see this one out. Great work by Kengo validating remote digital cognitive testing of some aspects of hippocampal function in patients with hippocampal atrophy. With @MasudHusain @BrainInTheMind @XinYouTai @Mayo_AING Link to the article: https://t.co/kVy7Tul1CW

Just released our latest research paper in @eClinicalMed on digital cognitive assessments. We show high sensitivity of online assessments in detecting cognitive deficits in Autoimmune Limbic Encephalitis. 💡 https://t.co/UD4001RohM

A project from my previous lab @UNIGEnews @CampusBiotech is now published in Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience!! We used brain recordings to investigate processing of emotional stimuli in action video gamers vs. non-gamers.

What journey we've had over the last three weeks! Thanks to all the students, TAs, mentors, panelists, content creators, and volunteers for making #Neuromatch CN 2021 a reality. Don't go away just yet... there is still more action with professional development and DL course 🎉🎉

Incredibly proud of this #SlowCooked paper, where we show how humans generalize in multitask environments! This work wouldn’t exist without: @PCardosoLeite, Irene Altarelli, shawn Green, @schrater_paul and Daphne Bavelier!
A mixture of generative models strategy helps humans generalize across tasks https://t.co/NqLVNkNOuM

Good read! "if growth is a substitute for equality, then equality can be a substitute for growth."

For more than half a century, economists and policymakers have focused fanatically on growth as the only feasible way to end global poverty and improve people’s lives. But in an era of planet-wide...
