SUMMARY:Establishing the True Prevalence of Dementia & Advancing Equity
DESCRIPTION:Centre for Dementia webinar – Establishing the True Prevalence of Dementia and Advancing Equity in Aotearoa New Zealand – the IDEA Programme. \nJoin the Centre for Dementia for a webinar with Dr Xiaojing (Sharon) Wu\, Research Fellow in the School of Population Health at the University of Auckland and a registered dietitian. \nSharon is Programme Manager of the Impact of Dementia mate wareware and solutions for Equity in Aotearoa (IDEA) Programme\, a national research initiative working to establish the true prevalence of dementia in Aotearoa New Zealand and improve equity in dementia care. \nDuring this webinar\, Sharon will introduce the IDEA Programme and its community-based study involving European\, Chinese and Indian populations. She will explain how the research combines population-based epidemiology\, comprehensive dementia assessments\, health-data linkage and qualitative methods. \nThe study aims to improve understanding of the prevalence\, impact and lived experience of dementia\, while also examining the accuracy of routinely collected health data. \nSharon will discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in conducting culturally responsive dementia research with diverse communities and share early insights from the ongoing prevalence study. \nAbout the speaker\nDr Xiaojing (Sharon) Wu is a Research Fellow in the School of Population Health at the University of Auckland. Her research focuses on dementia epidemiology\, healthy ageing\, implementation science and culturally responsive research with diverse populations. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Connecting Parkinson's Disease and Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Held in partnership with the University of Edinburgh and the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease\, with Edinburgh University’s Professor Tilo Kunath as chair\, this edition of our webinar series will occur on 9 September and discuss the relationship between dementia and Parkinson’s. \n\n\nIt is estimated that roughly half of people with Parkinson’s will experience cognitive changes\, the way we think and process information\, to some extent; some of these individuals\, however\, may go on to develop dementia. Parkinson’s belongs to a family of conditions called alpha-synucleinopathies\, which are characterised by the build-up of abnormal copies of the protein alpha-synuclein. These copies clump together to form Lewy bodies\, which disrupt how well cells can function. Although in Parkinson’s this primarily impacts neurons in the part of the brain controlling movement\, other areas of the brain may also be affected\, leading to problems with thinking and memory. \nIn this webinar\, Edinburgh University’s Professor Tilo Kunath will be joined by an expert panel to discuss the two types of dementia most closely associated with Parkinson’s: Parkinson’s disease dementia (PDD) and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB). The panel will discuss what these conditions are\, how they compare\, and the current research landscape. \nMeet the panelists\nProfessor John-Paul Taylor is a Professor of Translational Dementia Research at Newcastle University and an Honorary Consultant in Old Age Psychiatry at the Tyne and Wear NHS Trust. Professor Taylor’s research focus is on Lewy body dementia\, looking at neuroimaging techniques\, visual hallucinations\, and improving clinical care. \nJacqui Cannon is the CEO of The Lewy Body Society\, a UK-based charity that funds research to understand\, diagnose\, and better treat Lewy body dementia. Visit The Lewy Body Society: https://www.lewybody.org/ \nProfessor Iracema Leroi is a Professor of Geriatric Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin and Site Director of the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) at Trinity. Her research focuses on dementia and neurodegenerative conditions\, with an emphasis on improving brain health and quality of life. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Investigating White Matter Hyperintensities in People at Risk of Alzheimer's
DESCRIPTION:What can white matter hyperintensities tell us about Alzheimer’s disease risk. And could these changes in the brain help explain why some people are more vulnerable to cognitive decline than others. \nThis livestream is part of the Dementia Researcher weekly Showcase series. Each week\, we host a 45-minute online session bringing researchers together to share their work\, methods\, and ideas. \nIn this session\, Cameron Heyman will present a high-level summary of his PhD research investigating white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in people at increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease dementia. The talk will explore the cognitive impacts of WMHs\, the factors associated with their development\, and what they may reveal about the earliest stages of dementia risk. \nDrawing together findings from his doctoral research\, Cameron will discuss how understanding WMHs may improve our knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease progression and help identify opportunities for earlier detection and intervention. \nCameron is a PhD student at the University of Auckland whose research focuses on the cognitive impacts and risk factors of white matter hyperintensities in people at increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease dementia. \nAttendees can expect a research-focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
