I'm excited to share our paper following from @rpavaneijk's work on the use of passive actigraphy for monitoring #ALS #MND function outside the clinic. There is clearly a lot of opportunity to expand the potential of this technology. @Steyn_Lab @Ngo_Lab:

Does hypothalamus size matter in #ALS? Patients with low hypothalamic volume with low BMI tend to lose fat mass and have increased risk for earlier death. Thank you to the #PALS and their friends and family who contributed to this work. doi.org/10.1111/ene.15589🧠@EANeurology (1/4)

Just a heads up to everyone that the MND and Me Foundation Facebook page has been caught up in the Facebook News blocking situation in Australia today.
We have appealed our block so hopefully our page will be reinstated soon!
Stay Tuned!

How? We're dropping like flies because the NHMRC budget is pitifully small and everyone I know has thought about what they might do as a 'plan b'. It's the worst I've seen it in 25 years of research. Basic biomedical research is dying in Australia.
