The Clinical Memory Research Group @lunduniversity-med.bsky.social is growing! 🎉 🧠 We’re looking for a Project Assistant to join us at BMC. You’ll work under Sebastian Palmqvist Niklas Mattsson-Carlgren—brilliant leaders & supportive mentors (speaking from firsthand experience!).(1/2)

✨ SHINY NEW PAPER ✨ A resting-state EEG marker of cortical excitation-inhibition balance (aperiodic exponent) moderated effects of age on episodic and short-term memory @allyneuro.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Resting-state EEG aperiodic exponent moderates the association between age and memory performance in older adults

Memory functions are susceptible to age-related cognitive decline, making it essential to explore the underlying neurophysiological mechanisms that co…

1/ 🧠 Is there a "hidden" brain signal that protects against age-related memory decline? Our new paper in @neurobiology-aging.bsky.social explores how periodic (oscillatory) and aperiodic (non-oscillatory) EEG activity may be a key biomarker for cognitive resilience in older adults. 🧵

🚨New paper alert! Our study led by @teanijarv.bsky.social investigated why some individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) develop hemispheric asymmetry in tau pathology and what drives this phenomenon. Out now in Nature Communications! 🔗Full article: doi.org/10.1038/s414... A thread🧵👇

Hemispheric asymmetry of tau pathology is related to asymmetric amyloid deposition in Alzheimer’s Disease - Nature Communications

Asymmetrical distribution of tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease is linked to asymmetrical amyloid-beta deposition, not reduced brain connectivity, suggesting regional vulnerability plays a key role ...

‼️New preprint! We are happy to share our latest work led by @teanijarv.bsky.social investigating why tau pathology in AD often accumulates more in one hemisphere of the brain than the other. Check out 🔗https://biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04.15.648728v1 or dive into the details below👇

Eating a diet high in specific types of nutrients — including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts, legumes, and low-fat dairy products — is associated with improved physical and mental health in older age, according to a study in Nature Medicine. #medsky 🧪

Optimal dietary patterns for healthy aging - Nature Medicine

In two longitudinal cohorts followed for 30 years, the associations of eight different dietary patterns with healthy aging—encompassing cognitive, physical and mental health—were studied, identifying food constituents linked to greater or lesser odds of healthy aging.

New research out in Psychophysiology (doi.org/10.1111/psyp...). The EEG aperiodic slope, thought to reflect cortical excitatory/inhibitory balance, was linked to temperament traits (surgency, regulation) in infancy and moderated associations between maternal anxiety/depression and infant regulation.

In this study, we demonstrate novel associations among EEG aperiodic slope, the temperament domains of orienting/regulation and surgency, and maternal anxiety/depressive symptoms in infancy. The resu...
