☀️With temperatures rising, be sure to keep these tips in mind! ☀️

In an advancement for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis, the @fda.gov approved an #AlzheimersDisease blood test using data samples from the Wisconsin ADRC and the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP). More details: go.wisc.edu/b11f88

Congrats to all of the 2025 CCANDL graduates! We cannot thank you enough for your positive attitudes and dedication to the lab. We wish you all the best! 👏🎓

‼️ CCANDL alum, Doug Cowman, published his first article! This paper is the result of a project he did as an undergraduate research assistant with the lab. Congratulations, Doug! ‼️   Check out the article here: academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

All smiles for the CCANDL end of semester celebration! Thank you to Dr. Mueller for hosting us on Friday! 🌸💕

On Wednesday, CCANDL lab member Anikka Baker presented her project investigating sleep quality and plasma pTau-217 on cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease at the Bio162 Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium! Great work, Anikka! 🧠🔬👏

I appreciate the author of this @theguardian.com article sharing 17 (!) recommendations to promote brain health during aging. It's a long list - but it also means that there are a lot of potential options for our patients and for us. #medsky #geronsky www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Last week in lab meeting, master’s student Olivia Goulette presented her thesis that looked at the effect of traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s Disease risk factors on communication decline over time! 🧠🗣️ Dr. Mueller also brought a variety of delicious donuts! 🍩

The authors of this large (N=6,879) Norwegian longitudinal study found that hearing loss at baseline predicted cognitive decline 20+ years later. MoCA score decreased 0.25 points for each 10 dB increase in hearing threshold. #medsky #geronsky pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
