An incredible team effort by Victoria Pulido, Ariana Hernandez, Ellie Wind, YingYing Zhu, Chana Vogel, Lauren Rosenberg, Shaina Binu, Mikayla Jeneske, Dylan Kuni, and Bianca Echeverria! (4/4)

We found that long-term consumption of a ketogenic diet boosted learning and memory 🧠💪; these symptom improvements were accompanied by a reduction in amyloid and increased neurogenesis (new neuron creation). (3/4)

CAA can lead to cognitive impairment and dementia, and increases the risk of stroke, due to an accumulation of amyloid proteins in the brain's blood vessels. CAA is commonly seen in people with Alzheimer's, exacerbating symptoms and complicating treatment with the newest meds. (2/4)

Ketogenic Diet Enhances Cognitive-Behavioral Function and Hippocampal Neurogenesis While Attenuating Amyloid Pathology in Tg-SwDI Mice The ketogenic diet (KD), characterized by high-fat, low-carbohydrate, and moderate protein intake, has gained attention for its therapeutic potential in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, inclu...

Preprint is up! This study investigated the effects of a ketogenic diet (very low carb, high fat 🥑🥩🍳) in a mouse model of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).

A very happy NOA day with Bob Speth! 🙌🏼 Along with Mayur Parmar, Ben Albensi, and our team of incredible students at NSU 🦈, we will evaluate the repurposing of incretin mimetic drugs and crocetin in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s with comorbid metabolic disease.

My home department at Columbia just opened a search for a tenure track position. Very supportive department with 7 junior faculty members who are all thriving. Apply!

Sharing again as I have added a at least 20 newbies and people how I just found out were here. Just need to get that Giles Yeo over here now go.bsky.app/NRoqMvp

Someone had to do it! I created a starter pack for #Alzheimer’s #dementia #ADRD researchers on Bluesky. Please let me know who I left out! Hoping more and more of us will join Bluesky
