Brain waves provide an insight into brain cell activity, but they are notoriously difficult to isolate and analyse. Now, a PhD candidate at the University of Oxford has developed a new method to help researchers study brain waves that has exciting implications for detecting and treating dementia.
DPUK's all-new Spring Academy is a week-long series of lectures, presentations and guided tutorials giving researchers an introduction to cohort data analysis techniques.
With an effective treatment for dementia proving notoriously elusive, recent years have seen an increasing focus on secondary prevention \u2013 detecting and treating those at high risk or in preclinical stages of the disease as early as possible to reduce its impact. Now, a new review summarises the landscape of secondary prevention of dementia and outlines what needs to happen next.
A study conducted in DPUK\u2019s Data Portal has found that people who have high blood pressure (known scientifically as hypertension) tend to have significantly smaller brain volumes and perform worse in mental tests.
DPUK is delighted to support the launch of Dementias Platform Australia (DPAU), a new initiative enabling access to research data from dementia studies carried out in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
DPUK's all-new Autumn Academy is a week-long series of lectures, presentations and group workshops giving researchers in-depth insight into cohort data analysis techniques.
Dementias Platform UK (DPUK) is pleased to announce it has signed a memorandum of understanding with the newly launched Korea Dementia Research Center (KDRC).
An online course explores the emerging neuroimaging technique of PET-MR, in which PET and MRI scans are run simultaneously to produce dynamic, high-quality images of the brain.
DPUK director Professor John Gallacher says the decision to approve the Alzheimer's drug aducanumab for use in the US is 'exciting news' for dementia research.
Dementias Platform UK is to host access to a new cellular model platform that will help researchers explore risk factors that contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
People consume less alcohol as the price of food increases, suggesting this may influence the decision to buy it, according to a new study led by Cardiff University and carried out in the DPUK Data Portal.
