SUMMARY:Research Showcase - How Amyloid & Tau Disrupt Brain Function
DESCRIPTION:How do amyloid and tau disrupt the brain’s electrical activity. And what can these changes tell us about how dementia develops. \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 Soraya Meftah will present her research exploring how electrical signalling in the brain is disrupted in dementia. Her work investigates how amyloid and tau affect brain function and the molecular changes linked to these disruptions. \nSoraya studies dementia using both experimental models and a novel human brain slice culture model\, helping to bridge the gap between laboratory findings and the human brain. This work aims to better understand how disease related changes affect brain networks and neuronal communication. \nSoraya is a Race Against Dementia Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh\, specialising in brain signalling\, neurodegeneration\, and translational approaches to dementia research. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Research Showcase - Seizure Risk and Dementia Care
DESCRIPTION:How often are hidden neurological events missed in dementia care. And could better seizure risk assessment improve support for older adults in long term care settings. \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\, Russ Barker will present work exploring the coexistence of dementia and epileptiform activity\, an important but under explored issue in geriatric neurology and long term care. His integrative literature review brings together evidence from across disciplines to identify key seizure risk domains in dementia care. \nRuss is Founder and CEO of Seagull Health\, based in Blue Springs\, Missouri. His work aims to support better recognition of hidden neurological events in ageing populations and provide a conceptual basis for developing a standardised seizure risk scoring framework for dementia care environments. \nAttendees can expect a research focused session with time for questions and discussion. \n\nRegister
