How does the brain rapidly distinguish similar memories? We use 7T fMRI to show dynamic shifts between pattern separation and reinstatement signals in hippocampal CA3 and DG with changing task demands: doi.org/10.64898/202...

‼️NEW PREPRINT‼️ What if you could take a normal 3T T1w MRI and make it look like it was acquired from a 7T scanner? That's exactly what we do using AI in our new preprint! Link: arxiv.org/abs/2507.13782 #neuroskyence #neurosky #compneuro #AI #datascience #neurology #mrisky #neuroimaging

Demenzdiagnosen sind aufwendig und werden oft spät gestellt. @davidberron.bsky.social und Kollegen am @dzne.science in Magdeburg haben eine 📱-App mit Gedächtnistests entwickelt. Damit können schon früh Gedächtnisprobleme erkannt werden, die auf eine #Demenz hinweisen ➡️ tinyurl.com/4ynfazxm #dementia

It was an intense two days at the seminar on #digital #approaches in #neuropsychology as part of the Psychology Master's program in Clinical Neuroscience. The highlight was the hands-on experience with digital tools in different use cases, each highlighting a specific strength of digital approaches

Can remote and unsupervised smartphone-based cognitive assessments detect cognitive impairment in AD and, in combination with novel blood biomarkers, predict future cognitive decline? We investigated this in the Swedish BioFINDER study - check out our new paper tinyurl.com/DigitalBioma...

Check out our new review on the amygdala in AD, led by the fantastic Kaitlin Stouffer! It was about time that this structure receives more attention in AD - we even argue for its involvement in an additional NFT progression pathway tinyurl.com/amygdalaAD Thread below👇🧵 (1/8)

Finally, we discuss the functional roles of the amygdala highlighting the correspondence between NFT accumulation and symptomatic profiles in Alzheimer’s disease patients (7/8)

David Berron @davidberron.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

Using ultra-high field 7T MRI 🧲, we present evidence for a functional pathway in humans connecting the amygdala and other early NFT accumulation sites in the anterior hippocampus 🍤 (6/8)

110

David Berron @davidberron.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

That's where the amygdala comes into play. We argue that, given its high connectivity with the early hippocampal accumulation sites, the amygdala may be part of an additional pathway of NFT progression 🧐 (5/8)

110

David Berron @davidberron.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

However, this does not entirely track with the assumption that NFT progression follows connectivity pathways! The lateral entorhinal region has preferential connections rather with posterior than anterior hippocampus 👀 . Thus, anterior NFTs lack a plausible trajectory (4/8)

110

David Berron @davidberron.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

We propose that the amygdala plays a role in how NFT pathology progresses within the medial temporal lobe. Within the hippocampus, early NFTs are found in anterior and posterior regions, with a paucity of pathology in the middle. (3/8)

110

David Berron @davidberron.bsky.social · 21/12/2023

The amygdala has been shown to be affected by early NFT pathology in Alzheimer's already in the seminal work by Braak & Braak. After years of the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex stealing the show, recent advances in neuroimaging brought the amygdala back on stage 🪩 (2/8)
