Our latest @CORDIS_EU research has hit the headlines in Norway. “9 of 10 want to know their brain disease risk”. Thank you @HorizonEU for funding this work! @EUhorizon2020 lifebrain.uio.no/news/testin…

Nine out of ten want to know their brain disease risk

Would you take a simple brain health test to learn about your risk of developing a brain disease if you could? According to the Global Brain Health Survey , 91 per cent of those questioned would. We...

Would you rather be smart or educated? We see that smart people show less brain change in aging, regardless of education and polygenic scores. 7000 longitudinal MRIs. Great work by @KWalhovd and the @LifebrainEU & @LCBC_UiO teams nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
