    Henry Brodaty and Alice Powell on cognitive resilience and ageing

    Join The Lancet Neurology’s In Conversation With… as editors Elena Becker-Barroso and Laura Hart welcome Henry Brodaty and Alice Powell from the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia) to discuss cognitive resilience and ageing. This episode teases apart cognitive resilience, cognitive reserve, brain maintenance, and brain reserve; explores how social determinants, life-course factors, and vascular health shape resilience; and delves into robust measures, biomarkers, and how pathologies interact with resilience. It also covers multicomponent interventions and their transferability to low-income and middle-income countries, how clinicians should communicate risk, and the key knowledge gaps and priorities for global cognitive resilience research. Don’t miss this timely exploration of dementia prevention and healthy brain ageing.

    Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren on the use of biomarkers in the diagnosis and stratification of Alzheimer’s disease

    In this episode, Laura Hart and Elena Becker-Barroso speak with Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren (Lund University) about the use of blood biomarkers in the diagnosis and stratification of Alzheimer's disease. They discuss two particular plasma biomarkers—p-tau217 and eMTBR-tau243—including what they measure and how a proposed practical two-step approach that uses p-tau217 as an initial screen in a neurology clinic, and then eMTBR-tau243 for those who test positive, could support diagnostic decisions.  Click here to read the full article: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(26)00029-3/fulltext Medical imaging and theranostics are revolutionising how we diagnose, treat, and understand disease.

    Cristina Tassorelli on migraine prevention

    In this episode, Senior Editor Morgane Boillot speaks with Professor Cristina Tassorelli (University of Pavia, Italy) about recent advances in migraine prevention.  Together with colleagues, Tassorelli has authored a Review in the journal examining the major developments in migraine-specific pharmacological treatments over the past decade, with a particular focus on therapies targeting the CGRP pathway.  In this conversation, they explore what these advances mean for people living with migraine and for clinicians, discuss promising emerging targets for prevention and the future of biomarkers, and consider whether it is time to redefine the goals of migraine prevention with greater ambition.  Click here to read the full article: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laneur/article/PIIS1474-4422(25)00477-6/fulltext Medical imaging and theranostics are revolutionising how we diagnose, treat, and understand disease.
