In our recent work, we elucidate the underlying mechanism of language abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease, such as overusing pronouns and verbs. The insights were gained from a comparison between English and Persian. medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Alz&Dem is pleased to share a special issue on the LEADS study, addressing an often-forgotten about clinical population with early-onset #Alzheimers.

Excited that this paper is published by PNAS today where we show how speakers maintain a balance between the complexity of words and syntax; and how this property may assist aphasia patients to better communicate
Big thanks to @DickersonLabMGH @LanguageMIT @kmahowald @raryskin
Fantastic neuropsychiatrist in our @FTDunitBoston @NeguineR Neguine Rezaii’s new paper with @LanguageMIT “A syntax–lexicon trade-off in language production” in PPA & healthy people is out today in @PNASNews: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.21…

Our new #superaging paper out now in Cerebral Cortex! tinyurl.com/rv66eauh
We show that superagers (older adults with youthful memory) retain their selective and efficient ability to process visual stimuli, allowing them to form distinct memories.

Lea, it’s crazy how the world conspires against us and we, collectively, rise up to the challenge. Good teams prevail.
Thanks to @EdMarkey for talking w our @DickersonLabMGH @KatieBrandt6 about funding for Alz and related disorders funding
Today was surReality @ MGH... this afternoon was my first FTD clinic since March 9. Valuable safety protocols in place, but strangely quiet except for a few patients (after a very busy morning of virtual clinic)

Our behavioral neurology/neuro psychiatry field has lost a (too young) giant. We will miss you Dan, and our hearts go out to your family, friends, and patients
Behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry lost an important member of the field today, and I lost a mentor and friend. Ave atque vale. @UNCneurology #Neurology #neuropsychiatry #BNNP
