Dr Chris Henstridge - Fading stars: disorder in the galaxy of the brain

Dr Chris Henstridge, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

It's Motor Neurone Disease Awareness Week, and in this blog Chris discusses the significance of synapse loss in Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Motor Neuron Disease (MND), highlighting the overlap in cognitive decline and similar brain changes observed in both diseases. He explores the link between synapse loss, cognitive decline, and the presence of disease-associated proteins, such as TDP-43, in the brain, emphasizing the importance of collaborative research and understanding commonalities between different neurodegenerative diseases for advancements in treatment and improving the quality of life for patients.
