Dementia can distort people's perception of their environment, which can be hard to imagine if you don't have dementia. A Canadian retirement home has created some images showing how different scenes might look to people with dementia. Take a look here: ow.ly/6q2n50EmgqN

Big well done to our PhD student @Cameronjkirk for presenting his findings on his first paper today - we are looking forward to seeing it written up! Cam explored the use of real world walking speed to assess motor disease severity in #parkinsons.

Really interesting findings here. Especially the importance of early non-motor symptoms and that falls and balance are the largest issue reported by those living with advanced Parkinson's.

New early open access paper in collaboration with members of @BAM_Research! Further evidence that the cholinergic system can provide useful prognostic markers in #Parkinsons, in this case related to gait decline.
