Neuroinflammation in mouse models
August 10, 2020
•45m
Dr Megan O'Hare is joined by three researchers based at the UK Dementia Research Institute in Cardiff - Dr Sarah Carpanini, Dr Tom Phillips and Dr Megan Torvell to discuss neuroinflammation in neurodegeneration this time using mouse models to examine underlying pathophysiology during brain development and beyond. Join them to hear about physiological synapse loss that occurs during normal, healthy development of the brain contrasting to pathological synapse loss that occurs in disease states such as Alzheimer's Disease. Hear more about the role of microglia and the role of the complement cascade as well as the virtues of using mouse models in general for studying an ageing disease.

What is normal? Using language and big data to inform diagnosis of dementia
August 24, 2020
•38m
Detection and treatment of dementia benefits greatly from understanding the full scope of "typical" behaviour, which can increasingly be captured using big data methodology. Dr Anna Volkmer and Dr Vitor Zimmerer from the Department of Language and Cognition at University College London have a chat about the importance of understanding diversity in a population for dementia research, mostly using language and communication, which are their subjects of study, as examples.
