AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

Naila brings you 21 articles from January 2024, on non-pharmacological approaches to the prevention and intervention of Alzheimer's disease. You'll be treated to research from computational modeling, to rodent models, to clinical trials, with a particular focus on optimizing and personalizing intervention strategies. This episode also covers some research on the role of caregivers, and several papers consider the socioeconomic and ethnographic context in which these studies take place. Let's get to it!   Stimulation Techniques (7) Exercise (3) Cognitive Training (2)   Art Therapy and Dyad Interventions (4) Lifestyle Interventions and Prevention (5) --------------------------------------------------------------  You can find the bibliography for this episode here [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-NvZsr9qousOnp51vDbtMxX4RQe7Elrd/view?usp=drive_link], or by clicking the link below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-NvZsr9qousOnp51vDbtMxX4RQe7Elrd/view?usp=drive_link To access the folder with ALL our bibliographies, follow this link [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bzSzkY9ZHzzY8Xhzt0HZfZhRG1Gq_Si-?usp=sharing] (it will be updated as we publish episodes and process bibliographies), or use the link below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bzSzkY9ZHzzY8Xhzt0HZfZhRG1Gq_Si-?usp=sharing [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bzSzkY9ZHzzY8Xhzt0HZfZhRG1Gq_Si-?usp=sharing] You can also find all of our bibliographies on our website: amindr.com [http://www.amindr.com].  --------------------------------------------------------------  Follow-up on social media for more updates!

Another special episode to help kick off our return! In what we hope to be a recurring special series, an interview with members in our scholarly community on navigating the multiple facets of life as a scientist. In the first episode, host Kevin Nishimura interviews one of our own Joseph Liang on his personal journey to and through graduate school. Tune in to learn what he has to say about getting into graduate school, and how his perspective on the journey has changed since he's started! We hope you enjoy, and please let us know if you want to hear more episodes like this!   To access the folder with ALL our bibliographies from past episodes, follow this link [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bzSzkY9ZHzzY8Xhzt0HZfZhRG1Gq_Si-?usp=sharing] (it will be updated as we publish episodes and process bibliographies), or use the link below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bzSzkY9ZHzzY8Xhzt0HZfZhRG1Gq_Si-?usp=sharing [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bzSzkY9ZHzzY8Xhzt0HZfZhRG1Gq_Si-?usp=sharing] You can also find all of our bibliographies on our website: amindr.com [http://www.amindr.com].  --------------------------------------------------------------  Follow-up on social media for more updates!
