Just out with some of my fave collaborators: @themindstudy. We looked at relationships between age and neurofilament light protein in psychiatric disorders compared to healthy individuals and found differential age trajectories in SCZ and bipolar disorder. tinyurl.com/52ybtfd4

Hey Science Twitter! We'd love suggestions for relevant journals that accept short reports so we can find a home for our recent work! "Plasma neurofilament light protein provides evidence of accelerated brain aging in treatment-resistant schizophrenia" tinyurl.com/yvc7sec4

Congratulations @_mattkang for receiving the 2023 FPOA Psychiatric Trainee Prize for Scholarly Project. His paper on cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light assisting earlier distinction between neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders should progress knowledge in the field.

Meet the DIPPA-FTD study! We have harmonized retrospective data from 5 different sites and now we have started our prospective study. Our aim is to provide an algorithm that can distinguish sporadic #bvFTD from primary #psychiatric disorders! #ISFTD2022 @isftd

Our latest study now available! authors.elsevier.com/a/1fsEU…… CSF neurofilament light distinguished bvFTD from 'non-progressors' Of note, all patients were diagnosed initially with bvFTD, so this biomarker at the start could have significantly reduced delay to accurate diagnosis

Did you know that FTD is the most common dementia for people under 60? To mark #WorldFTDAwarenessWeek, here is a link to a short video, "The Journey to Diagnosis", which features our very own @levned and @superdha from the #Neuropsychiatry team @theRMH youtube.com/watch?v=ZXWVpnsb…

During the #FTDawarenessWeek we will post our work 👇🏽 and retweet interesting FTD related topics! Stay tuned! #FTD #endFTD. xitter.cf/nic_ftd/status/1574334…. Check out our article in Brain: academic.oup.com/brain/artic…
This week is World #FTD awareness week! The Neuropsychiatric International Consortium FTD (NIC-FTD) focuses on neuropsychiatric symptoms of FTD and aims to develop diagnostics tools that distinguish FTD from primary psychiatric disorders! #NICFTD #endFTD
