SUMMARY:Eating & Drinking Well with Dementia at Home
DESCRIPTION:The Eating and Drinking Well with Dementia at Home Guide is a new resource to support people living with dementia at home\, specifically designed for family carers\, friends\, and home care workers. \nWe are honoured to welcome our keynote speaker\, Dr Jane Townson OBE\, Chief Executive\, Homecare Association\, who brings extensive expertise spanning social care\, health\, housing\, and the technology sector. We will also be joined by people with lived experience\, researchers\, and representatives from key stakeholder organisations. \nEveryone interested in nutrition\, dementia\, and home care is welcome\, whether you’re looking to learn more\, support a family member\, or are a care provider in the social care or healthcare sector! \nWhat to expect: \n\nKeynote address\nNetworking over lunch\nAbout TOMATO project and research findings that informed the development of the resources\nPanel and audience discussions\nOfficial launch of the resource (print copy available on the day). Please let us know of any specific dietary requirements.\n\nFor further information on this event\, please contact HSSRKEAdministrator@bournemouth.ac.uk or yinusagg@bournemouth.ac.uk \nHow to get to BU: \nTalbot campus is easily accessed via public transport and has bike storage points. Please see travel info \nLansdowne campus is located in the city centre and is easily accessed via bus and train links. For more travel information please see this link. There is no parking on site\, however if public transport isn’t possible for you there are a number of local pay and display car parks at Cotlands Road and Madeira Road. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:How do brain circuits fail in early Alzheimer's?
DESCRIPTION:Recent advances in brain research are transforming our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)\, showing that the disruption of brain circuits begins many years before the familiar hallmarks\, such as plaques and tangles\, or obvious memory symptoms appear. These discoveries challenge our traditional views about how and when the disease starts. \nIn this special UK DRI research webinar\, Dr Marc Aurel Busche (UK DRI at UCL) will share his latest findings on the very first changes that occur in AD. His research highlights how two key proteins involved in Alzheimer’s\, that is\, amyloid beta (Abeta) and tau\, have different yet crucial roles in disrupting brain function at different stages. Dr Busche will show how Abeta first affects specific types of brain cells\, especially those located in deeper layers of the brain’s cortex\, causing early disturbances in the brain’s communication networks. \nHe will then discuss why tau is more closely linked to memory loss and cognitive symptoms. His recent studies provide a clear mechanism: specific forms of tau disrupt neurons that play a key role in memory\, making these neurons less effective and explaining why tau pathology strongly aligns with progression of disease and symptoms. \nFinally\, Dr Busche will present important new insights into the normal role of the amyloid precursor protein (APP)\, which produces Abeta but also plays an essential part in keeping our brain circuits healthy. This finding has important implications\, showing that therapeutic strategies targeting APP must be carefully designed to avoid interfering with its normal\, beneficial functions. \nTogether\, these discoveries form a new framework for understanding Alzheimer’s disease. They emphasise the need for treatments that focus on the earliest changes in brain circuit function\, carefully targeting the harmful effects of Alzheimer’s proteins while preserving their important roles in the healthy brain. \nRegister to Attend
