Study found that Aβ and tau PET positivity in cognitively unimpaired individuals was associated with near-term progression to mild cognitive impairment and, among those who do not show such categorical change, longitudinal cognitive decline.

1/3 New lab paper suggesting, in 4 independent cohorts of cognitively unimpaired individuals, that the presence of both amyloid and tau-PET positivity is associated with near-term #AlzheimersDisease clinical progression. Strong support for the NIA-AA preclinical research criteria

Our most important clinical paper so far. In the @prevent_ad, 60% of our cognitively unimpaired participants with amyoid and tau PET binding developed MCI in ~2 years, a number that increased to 80% in those with hippocampal atrophy. The findings are replicated in 3 cohorts.

Find out what the PREVENT-AD is, what data is made openly available and where to get it @NeuroLibre! Thank you to all who contributed to acquire and make this data available. We look forward to the community using the data! #openscience

New paper from the lab suggesting that vascular risk factors are associated with a decline in resting-state functional connectivity over time in the @prevent_ad cohort. Vascular risk factors should really be more targeted for healthy aging and AD prevention.

You can access more of the PREVENT-AD data openly! A lot of work has gone into this, particularly from @sylv_villeneuve’s team. It was a lot work but we are delighted to share this with you! #openscience

1/14 Once upon a time (>2 years ago), we started the journey of making the PREVENT-AD data open. We had to reconsent the participants, develop the platform to host and share the data (thanks to Alan Evans and @NeuroLibre teams), clean the data and create the data dictionary.

Our very own @alexa_pichetb has brilliantly defended her PhD thesis! Alexa has been instrumental in the centre’s work in the last 5 years. We look forward to her post-doc with @OskarHansson9 and the @biofinder_study. Congratulations Dr. Pichet Binette!

@alexa_pichetb defended her PhD thesis today, she did an AMAZING job. I am extremely fortunate we worked together for the past ~5 years. She is a role model scientist and an extraordinary person. Looking forward to follow her new projects with @OskarHansson9 #WomenInSTEM
