SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Exercise\, Brain Health & Alzheimer’s Risk
DESCRIPTION:How does physical activity influence brain health as we age. And what are the best ways to support people in staying active to reduce dementia risk. \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\, Dr Marta Stojanovic will introduce her research on how exercise impacts cognitive and brain health\, particularly in older adults and those at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Her work also explores how to increase engagement in physical activity\, addressing one of the key challenges in translating evidence into real world impact. \nMarta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky\, with a background in clinical psychology and neuropsychology. Her research uses a multi method approach\, combining laboratory studies\, neuroimaging\, physiological measures\, wearable technology\, and real world data collection to better understand both the effects of exercise and how to promote it. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Neurocognitive Metrics for Detecting Alzheimer’s Pathology
DESCRIPTION:As biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease continue to advance\, are cognitive assessments keeping pace. And how can we better detect early changes using tools we already have. \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\, Dr Davide Bruno will present his work on developing neurocognitive metrics that are sensitive to Alzheimer’s disease pathology. His research focuses on extracting more informative measures from existing neuropsychological tests\, rather than relying on entirely new tools. \nThese approaches aim to provide accessible\, non proprietary methods that can better align cognitive assessment with advances in biomarker research\, helping to improve early detection and understanding of disease progression. \nDavide is an Associate Professor of Cognitive Neuropsychology at Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Wisconsin Madison. His work sits at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and clinical research\, focusing on improving how we measure and detect changes in brain function. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Primary Progressive Aphasia Forum
DESCRIPTION:Exclusivley in the Dementia Researcher Community – This is an discussion space for researchers with an interest in Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). The aim is simple: to talk together about the work we are doing\, the challenges we face\, and the approaches that are shaping the field. \n\nHosted by Dr Anna Volkmer – there are no presentations and no expectations. This is a chance to meet colleagues\, share thinking\, and help develop a space that supports our research community over time. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Learning\, Memory and the Ageing Brain
DESCRIPTION:How do prior knowledge and new experiences shape the way we learn. And what happens to these processes as we age or develop dementia. \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\, Dr Dorothy Tse will present her research on how prior knowledge and novelty influence learning and memory formation. Her work explores how these processes are affected by ageing and dementia\, and how they relate to changes in brain function. \nDorothy develops behavioural paradigms that bridge animal and human research\, supporting translational approaches to understanding memory. Alongside this\, she works with community organisations and charities to co create projects that promote healthy ageing and brain health. \nDorothy is a Reader in Cognitive Neuroscience at Edge Hill University\, specialising in learning\, memory\, and translational neuroscience. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
