    Hearing, Conversation, and Cognitive Decline: Tracing Complex Connections

    Hearing loss increases the risk of developing dementia in later years. In this episode of ISTAART Voices, researchers Dr. Joshua Stevenson-Hoare and Dr. Kouki Tomida dissect the ways in which hearing loss may accelerate dementia progression. Through studies conducted in Germany and Japan, their works explore how early hearing difficulties and reduced conversation could signal future cognitive decline, offering compelling perspectives on early intervention and prevention strategies.

    Protein Signatures, Blood Vessels and Alzheimer's Disease

    In this episode, Dr. Aleksandra Wojtas and Dr. Nicholas Seyfried discuss their latest research investigating the critical role of cerebrovascular dysfunction in Alzheimer's and related neurodegenerative diseases. They explain how analyzing the unique protein signatures found within the brain's blood vessels is uncovering new insights into the early development of Alzheimer's pathology. This innovative approach has the potential to lead to earlier detection methods and new treatment avenues.

    Decoding Alzheimer's: Using Algorithms To Predict Cognitive Decline

    In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mohammad Fili and Dr. Auriel Willette about the exciting applications of machine learning and brain imaging in the context of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. They explain how combining emerging technologies with existing large datasets can uncover compelling patterns in the brain that distinguish those on a trajectory of cognitive decline from those who maintain or even improve their mental abilities as they age.

    Exploring the Finer Details of Cognitive Decline in Parkinson's Disease

    In this episode, we sit down with postdoctoral researcher Dr. Dana Pourzinal, to discuss her work exploring the varied cognitive profiles of Parkinson's disease. Through an international collaboration, this research identifies distinct subtypes of cognitive decline, shedding light on the complexity of Parkinson's. By pinpointing these diverse cognitive patterns, this work aims to enable earlier interventions and enhance the quality of life for those living with this neurodegenerative disorder.
