The Center focuses on the need for early, pre-dementia diagnosis and new therapies that prevent or slow the course of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.

Congratulations to Victoria Turnbill (@YangLabUCLA) & Saraswathi Subramaniyan, PhD (@HinmanLabUCLA @UCLANeurology), recipients of the 2026 Waxman Family Drive Awards! Special thanks to the Waxman Family for supporting the next generation of #Alzheimer's and #dementia researchers.
Over 20 UCLA faculty, staff and students walked to support the @alzassociation in the Santa Monica Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The Easton Center is a proud supporter of the Alzheimer’s Association and raised over $1,600 to fight this disease and to support caregivers. #Endalz
Thank you to the UCLA APAHC and APAMSA volunteers and a member of @UCLAEastonAD for a successful day at the Garfield Health Center Community Health Expo in Rowland Heights! Together, we're helping educate our community about healthy aging, and #dementia awareness.
@UCLANeurology
What a turnout! Thank you to our @UCLANeurology poster presenters, researchers, and trainees for making the Easton Center–@BRI_UCLA Open House such a success. Inspiring to see the innovation and collaboration driving #dementia research forward.

The Healthy Brain LA Impact Summit brought together researchers, community orgs, and policymakers to promote brain health. Dr. Jason Hinman highlighted how preventing #dementia starts with managing blood pressure, staying active, and making brain-healthy choices.
Dr. Jason Hinman (@HinmanLabUCLA @UCLANeurology @UCLAHealth) was among the panelists at the #HealthyBrainLA Summit, highlighting how hypertension affects brain health & dementia risk. Prevention starts with managing blood pressure, staying active, & making brain-healthy choices.

Congratulations to Dr. Tirth Patel on receiving a Larry L. Hillblom Foundation Startup Grant!
His research will explore how the brain's meningeal lymphatic system clears tau, a protein linked to Alzheimer's and related dementias, with the potential to inform new treatments.
Exciting news! FloBiotech enters an exclusive licensing agreement with @UCLAHealth to advance DDL-357, a novel small-molecule targeting early disease biology & supporting endogenous protective mechanisms in neurodegeneration.

Congratulations to Dr. Tirth Patel (@UCLANeurology & @UCLAHealth) on receiving a Larry L. Hillblom Foundation Startup Grant! His research on meningeal lymphatics and tau clearance aims to advance our understanding of #Alzheimer’s disease and drive new therapies for #dementia.
Dr. Leila Parand (@UCLAEastonAD, @UCLANeurology, @UCLAHealth) contributed to LEADS Consortium research on early-onset #Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD).
The study highlights how cognitive dispersion may help predict EOAD progression and improve trial monitoring.

These neurons are part of circuits that rewire during learning, and it can happen in an instant. A new UCLA study shows that a single electrical burst in a hippocampal neuron is enough to create a brand new memory. Not over days of repetition. Just one spark. This rapid rewiring is guided by 2 different brain regions, each playing a distinct role: one triggers the spark, the other shapes what gets remembered. Understanding this could transform how we think about learning, memory & what goes wrong in diseases like Alzheimer's. 🧠 nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

This is what integrated science looks like at @dgsomucla. BEAM, a student-led club, connects undergrads passionate about brain health all the way to the clinician-scientists at the Easton Center for Alzheimer's Research and Care, and out into the community at local senior living homes. From world-class research to caring human connection, it's all one ecosystem. Proud of these students. 🧠 dailybruin.com/2026/06/07/be…
Congrats to Seyedshahabadin Bidoki (Gal Bitan Lab, @UCLANeurology) on 2nd Place in Neuroscience at #LABEST2026!
His study reports the 1st treatment of adult polyglucosan body disease patients with GHF-201, showing promising biomarker & therapeutic results.
