New 📄 collaboration with J.B. Orange, @lcanresearch in Brain Communications: ‘White matter tract correlations with spoken language in cerebrovascular disease’ @westernuCCAA #westernuCSD @VPRWesternU @WesternU 🔓 doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/f…
Incredibly proud of this work. Thank you to fantastic trainees Dana Broberg and Dr. Katie Aveni for leading this interdisciplinary research @westernuFHS @OntarioBrain
Broberg et al. found that spoken language reflects white matter microstructure—not lesion volume—in cerebrovascular disease, highlighting diffusion MRI's role in cognitive assessment. Read at buff.ly/uxBuMwo @Rob_Bartha @lcanresearch @ONDRISTUDY @WesternU @SchulichMedDent

A recent study found that microglia may amplify the damage from the APOE4 gene—a major #Alzheimers risk factor. When APOE4 is present, microglia shift from their usual protective role to one that promotes harmful inflammation and protein clumping. medicalxpress.com/news/2024-…

In this study, longitudinal data from speakers with phonetic- and prosodic-predominant primary progressive apraxia of speech are used to characterize the progression of their motor speech impairment, including the development of dysarthria and mutism.
