Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIA: A deeper dive into the possible causes of white matter hyperintensities seen on T2-weighted MRI

December 6, 2022
This webinar takes a further look at the pathological underpinnings of hyperintensities seen on T2-weighted (including FLAIR) MRI. We discuss how close we are to understanding what underlies these common imaging findings.

Nutrition, Metabolism and Dementia PIA: A cellular view of brain metabolism in Alzheimer’s disease

December 5, 2022
Astrocytes seem to have a remarkable ability to handle energetic substrates. In this webinar, the Zimmer lab discusses how changes in astrocyte function may affect brain metabolic function and how astrocyte biomarkers can capture these changes.

Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA: A novel peptide operating in neuromodulatory subcortical systems: a pivotal agent driving neurodegeneration?

December 1, 2022
T14 is a peptide, potentially pivotal in neurodegeneration: it operates in the isodendritic core, is doubled in the AD brain, can be monitored as a pre-symptomatic biomarker and can be blocked pharmaceutically with significant behavioural effects.

Vascular Cognitive Disorders PIA: What causes white matter hyperintensities on T2-weighted MRI?

November 8, 2022
This webinar goes back to basics with a description of why hyperintensities are seen on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, including FLAIR. Then, the pathological drivers of this common imaging finding are explored.
