Our last Journal Club before summer break.

Still confidential where this has been accepted. Just saying it’s definitely worth one cake. Or 50. @biofinder_study

Super excited to share the outcome of our amazing collaboration @RockefellerUniv with @OlgaTroyanskaya and @vyao, out today in @NeuroCellPress, investigating selective neuronal vulnerability in Alzheimer's! Only regret is that Paul Greengard is not here to share the joy. 1/n

2 new preprints today: 1st @deng_lifu and @zachmonge's Age-related dedifferentiation and hyperdifferentiation of perceptual and mnemonic representations. TLDR, aging impairs posterior viz and mnemonic representations, but enhances them in anterior regions.

My progmod #RStats package is now online: https://github.com/larslau/progmod The models estimate population-level disease progression patterns by aligning short-term patterns observed from different individuals. Below is an example of cognitive scores in #Alzheimers disease.

Latest paper now available, with code.
