First poster done at #AAIC2025. 😊 Grateful to my lab @VETSATwinStudy, mentors (@elman_jeremy @PanizzonLab), and my funding from @NIHAging for being able to do this research.
Excited to share my new study with the @VETSATwinStudy team (@elman_jeremy @PanizzonLab) published in #JINS showing that moderate-to-severe chronic pain and opioid use are independently related to risk of mild cognitive impairment. tinyurl.com/y88k5z4j @UCSanDiego
Our new paper on cognitive resilience against Alzheimer’s pathology is out now! We explore common conceptual issues (i.e., differentiating resilience vs. low risk) and identify cortical regions that confer resilience against p-tau/cortical thinning 🧠 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Cool new work from @TylerBellPhD et al (inc Drs Franz, @KRThomasPhD Williams @LisaEylerPhD Lerman @cfn_peace Panizzon @elman_jeremy Kremen) Elevated CRP in Older Men With Chronic #Pain: Association With Plasma #Amyloid Levels and #Hippocampal Volume academic.oup.com/biomedgerontol…
First official tweet on a new paper in BP:CNNI with @VETSATwinStudy @elman_jeremy: Early Cortical Microstructural Changes in Aging Are Linked to Vulnerability to Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Thread to follow!

Trailblazing study in Elsevier’s BP:CNNI shows the spatial pattern of pathological changes in the brain can help identify #dementia risk decades before it occurs spkl.io/60104hEme @BiologicalPsyc1 @SOBP @Els_Psychiatry @VETSATwinStudy #VETSA
So appreciative to be able to be able to study chronic pain and dementia risk thanks to @NIHAging and to present this work with excellent colleagues at #AAIC2024 @elman_jeremy @VETSATwinStudy @PanizzonLab @rushalzheimers
I'm very excited to announce our new paper investigating genetic subtypes of Alzheimer's disease is out now in @journal_ad! This work is a central part of my K award, and it was an absolute pleasure collaborating with Aaditya Rangan and Nicholas Schork. content.iospress.com/articles/journ…
NEW: Ambient air pollution is associated with risk of Alzheimer’s disease & related dementias. Puckett et al. now report evidence of a potential pathway: damage to the locus coeruleus caused by PM2.5 ➡️ buff.ly/4cZ6xE6 @elman_jeremy @VETSATwinStudy @UCSDMedSchool @USC @UW
New #VETSA paper alert!
Congratulations to @mkennawilliams for winning the @ISTAART student poster award at #AAIC23 for her twin analysis of abnormal white matter and cortical microstructure!
Dear Twitter friends. Please help @vermeiren_marie and me with completing this survey on the use of #tau #PET in clinic and trials. The results will be used in my #AAIC plenary and eventually published. Please also SHARE and/or RETWEET! alzheimercentrum.nl/the-future-rol…
