🧠🩸Really excited to share that the @FondationLeducq has awarded a $9M International Networks of Excellence grant to launch TRAFFIC, a BU–Radboudumc co-led initiative focused on advancing understanding, early detection, and diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Grateful to our international team and excited for the opportunity to build a collaborative framework that can move the CAA field closer to earlier intervention and future therapies.

🚨 New open-access paper out now in PB&R: link.springer.com/article/10…
We (w/ @LanguageMIT, @AphasiaLab) explore how individuals with aphasia interpret sentences & whether their comprehension difficulties stem from increased expectations of noise in language input. 🧵👇

🧠Neurological disorders are complex—and so is the science behind improving diagnosis and treatment!
At the Center for Brain Recovery (@AphasiaLab) I work alongside an incredible team using cutting-edge research to tackle these challenges head-on — including how cerebral small vessel disease shapes outcomes in stroke and dementia.
Your support is vital. Please consider donating: bit.ly/3DDYznR

Excited to start 2025 with a paper out in @StrokeAHA_ASA (ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…)
We tested the efficacy of candidate predictive models to predict treatment outcomes in bilingual aphasia – critical for personalizing approaches for Spanish-English stroke survivors. 1/3
Center for Brain Recovery retweeted
Using ML, we achieved strong predictive performance (e.g., F1 ≥ 0.77) by considering language severity, cognitive abilities, and demographics. Most exciting: Untreated language abilities & cognitive performance emerged as key predictors of cross-language generalization. 2/3
Center for Brain Recovery retweeted
This work provides the first data-driven evidence for how multiple factors shape recovery in bilingual aphasia – and may help clinicians better anticipate treatment response. Thanks to amazing colleagues and guidance from @AphasiaLab @UTAustin @ClaudiaNeuropsi and others! 3/3
