New 📄 collaboration with J.B. Orange, @lcanresearch in Brain Communications: ‘White matter tract correlations with spoken language in cerebrovascular disease’ @westernuCCAA #westernuCSD @VPRWesternU @WesternU 🔓

Incredibly proud of this work. Thank you to fantastic trainees Dana Broberg and Dr. Katie Aveni for leading this interdisciplinary research @westernuFHS @OntarioBrain

Broberg et al. found that spoken language reflects white matter microstructure—not lesion volume—in cerebrovascular disease, highlighting diffusion MRI's role in cognitive assessment. Read at https://t.co/Ecnx9MV2Xp @Rob_Bartha @lcanresearch @ONDRISTUDY @WesternU @SchulichMedDent

A recent study found that microglia may amplify the damage from the APOE4 gene—a major #Alzheimers risk factor. When APOE4 is present, microglia shift from their usual protective role to one that promotes harmful inflammation and protein clumping.

In this study, longitudinal data from speakers with phonetic- and prosodic-predominant primary progressive apraxia of speech are used to characterize the progression of their motor speech impairment, including the development of dysarthria and mutism. https://t.co/I3o3FufdY0

This November and every month, ANCDS celebrates the culture and heritage of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities that deeply enrich the quality and character of the field, including those involved in research and clinical care.

Thrilled to have collaborated on this work with @MattGoldrick @jkeshet @adambuchwald @KHitczenko and Yael Segal-Manor. Advancing analytics using @OntarioBrain data from the @ONDRISTUDY
