Honoured to announce I have been awarded an @MND_RIA Postdoctoral Fellowship to continue my work understanding #MND through #MRI of #brain & spine! I look forward to working alongside @MarkusBarth2 @Fred_Steyn & @mndaustralia as we improve understanding of MND subtypes #ALS #PLS

🧠⚡️ New results from our n=178 brain stim dataset using 7T MRS and fMRI! ⚡️🧠
1. Baseline glutamate levels predict the gains from stimulation.
2. Brain stimulation modifies learning-related changes in patterns of activity.

Non-motor symptoms in MND - Great data
"It's crucial to integrate non-motor symptom management into standard ALS care. Further research is needed for tailored interventions."
More awesome work @AhmadAlKhleifat @AmmarAlChalabi
🙌 Grateful for all contributors to our #ALS #MND survey, now in its second report!
📊 Key non-motor symptoms: cold limbs (60.4%), appetite loss (29.7%). Evening coldness in weak limbs and shock-like pain reported.
👥 Cold limbs in weaker limbs suggest immobility or autonomic neuropathy. Research is crucial. Interventions may include physiotherapy, passive movements, and gabapentin.
🩹 Pain, often electric or cold, affects 58% of pwALS, mostly moderate. Itching is unique. Nuanced strategies are needed for pain management.
🍽️ Loss of appetite links to mood and extended eating time; medication shows no significant impact. Strategies should prioritize mood improvement and support in eating. Nursing care is crucial.
✨ It's crucial to integrate non-motor symptom management into standard ALS care. Further research is needed for tailored interventions.

You computed #spinalcord cross-sectional area from #MRI using @SpinalToolbox. What next?
You can now compare this value with a database of 203 adult subjects. Check out this new interactive @NeuroLibre preprint by @ValosekJan @SandBedard :👇

Congrats Sicong! :D
Many thanks @pactals for the award. Excellent conference program and diverse talks highlighting pathways to therapies for ALS.
Looking forward to #PACTALS2025 in Melbourne!
