How closely were you following dementia research in October? Here are twenty questions on the month’s biggest stories from around the world: a Nobel Prize for brain science, new trials and tau-lowering drugs, fresh funding, and the people and reports shaping the field.
There are four rounds of five questions, then a tiebreaker. You’ll find out straight away whether you were right, with a link to the source, so it doubles as a round-up of the month. It takes about ten minutes.
This is the second of our monthly news quizzes, and your points carry over to the season leaderboard. Missed September’s quiz? You can still catch up on the answers and see who topped the leaderboard. If you spot a story you think deserves a question, let us know.
