Immune protein TREM2 may protect neurons from toxic aggregates found in some brain diseases, #NIAfunded research shows. Boosting TREM2 activity could be a promising strategy to treat #amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (#ALS) & #frontotemporal dementia (#FTD): https://t.co/L46eN03k6C

#Dementia, specifically #frontotemporal dementia, is very much in the news today. It is also #NationalCaregiversDay. When my father was diagnosed with #earlyonsetAlzheimer's, the word "caregiver" -- and everything such a role involved -- wasn't recognized. Here is to my mother, who cared for my father with everything she had.

Hear Dr. Bruce Miller, #neurologist and expert on #frontotemporal dementia, discuss #FTD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6vejeqobQE

See #neurologist and #frontotemporal #dementia expert, Dr. Bruce Miller, explain FTD on Sixty Minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6vejeqobQE

so sad to learn of Bruce Willis's #frontotemporal #dementia #diagnosis.

broken-hearted to hear that Bruce Willis has #frontotemporal #dementia.

Please join me and the many researchers in the areas of #neurology, #geriatrics and #psychiatry, who will be discussing their work to end #dementia and help #caregivers. For me and other non-scientists/clinicians, it's about translating what we've learned through experience and/or study, with the goal of helping the many other people whose lives are affected by these #brain diseases, such as #Alzheimer's, #Lewy Bodies, #frontotemporal dementia, and others. https://chatathon.uk/schedule2022/

If you want to hear and talk about #stigma, #dementia, #caregiving, #medhum, then please join me and Dr. Bruce Miller, #neurologist at #UCSF with expertise in #Alzheimers, #frontotemporal dementia, and #brainhealth, tomorrow at the #UMich #ADRC speaker series.

@jfballenger. Yes! Thank you for sharing the youtube link of #UnRavelled, a moving, beautiful play about #frontotemporal dementia, one of the many #diseases that falls under the umbrella term, #dementia. I couldn't agree more with your sense of the play -- it's excellent!

This 12-hour #neurology "chat-a-thon," organized and hosted by Dr. Adam Smith, promises to be an extraordinary event. If you want to learn more about research on #dementia, including #Alzheimers, #frontotemporal, #LewyBodies, please join us on December 2.

"UnRavelled" is a magnificent, award-winning play by the brilliant Jake Broder. It's being performed later today at #UCSF. Here's the information if you're around Mission Bay, are interested in #dementia, especially #frontotemporal dementia, and #Ravel.
