Prerana's first article (also published in Portuguese) for Dementia Researcher discussing some of the latest research led by Dr Aida Suárez-González on the impact of COVID-19 on people with rare forms of dementia. Despite the studies limitations, the findings of this study highlight the importance of making social and cognitive stimulation, and specialised therapeutic support more accessible during subsequent lockdowns.
