FND and Migraine - two of the commonest conditions in neurology. How do they overlap, and what mechanisms and causes might they have in common? New article led by Stone J with Nicholson TR Didick D Coebergh J et al Full paper buff.ly/itPD9tV

Research by @tspiresjones.bsky.social & @clairedurrant1.bsky.social shows that tau spreads via synapses in PSP - a rare & devastating neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatments👉 buff.ly/xQ65CeM STV News reports ⬇️

📢 Exciting Opportunity for experienced neuroscientists and neurologists! 📢 @braincomms.bsky.social is seeking a new Editor-in-Chief to follow in the footsteps of @tspiresjones.bsky.social‬. Submit your application before 12th Sept to make your mark! 🧠 oxford.ly/4l6HdzN

See a lovely piece on STV highlighting the impacts of this disease on families . While our new findings will not lead to a new treatment today, we aim to bring hope to people living with PSP for the future news.stv.tv/east-central...

Delighted to share our paper examining synaptic tau in PSP. Many thanks to @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social @clairedurrant1.bsky.social and our many collaborators and funders. And extra special thanks to tissue donors who make this work possible.

Happy Caturday from Nyx

🎬 Behind the Science Spotlight - Part 2 with @britishneuro.bsky.social President Prof Tara Spires-Jones What do fly experiments, negative data & media exposés have in common? They’re all part of @tspiresjones.bsky.social’s story.

Fabulous talk by the lovely @emmayhnell.bsky.social hwre at @edinunineuro.bsky.social talking about teaching and engaging students with lots of fun tidbits and ideas to consider. Think about your strengths, different modes or medias and maybe make it personal!
