I would love to hear about your research and I am always looking for people to come o the podcast and editors.

This was a brilliant episode as I have long been looking into the research into a diagnostic test for Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia in general. I for a long time for a paper on diagnostic markers for Alzheimer’s Disease and demetnai in general because it is one of the roadblocks to help us understand and eventually cure these diseases. We still cannot diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and most dementia’s until 15-20 years into the disease. And this paper is a big step forward looking at over 5000 proteins in the blood. So listen in to find out more.

Today is a unique episode. It is the first time I will have people interviewed on the show. I talked to both Professor Arne.D.Ekstrom and Sarah Seger who is a PhD student in his lab who did a lot of the work for the paper which is titled, ‘ Memory-related processing is the primary driver of human hippocampal theta oscillations.
