I just returned from a transformational week with the #UCSF #GBHI cohort at the #MAC. Here is a photo of the group after the Salon on Fairness, a wonderful presentation about how we might think about justice in relation to brain health. It was inspiring being among #neurologists, #psychiatrists, and #writers all committed to bringing about a world where brain health is a human right.
I've been listening to lectures and talks from #Neurologists who hold PHDs in their field of study.
I think I need to go get a PHD in #neurology because I understand absolutely everything they say because I studied it for a decade straight trying to figure out my own bullshit.
"That face: the profound indifference of a man who truly does not care about other human beings."
It's also the face of #dementia. What kind? Perhaps #FTD (frontotemporal dementia) which often presents as apathy and a lack of empathy. Any #neurologists out there care to weigh in?

#Trump's disordered sleep is nothing to crow about; it can signal disease. #Neurologists explain: "Recently, a growing body of evidence has supported a role of disruption of the sleep-wake cycle in disease development, pathological changes and abnormal protein accumulation in neurodegenerative diseases, especially in Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. (Ageing & Neurodegenerative Diseases, 2022).

Many doctors -- #neurologists, #psychiatrists, you name it -- have been concerned about this for a long while. The man is cognitively impaired and has been for years. It's called the prodromal phase, and the #disease has been percolating. Anyone who knows anyone with #dementia knows he is ill. Okay #NYT, now's the time to have your opinion writers say why (or why not) Trump shouldn't be president.

#Trump on his 10-year old cartoon drawing of a woman's body w/a really creepy inscription in it: "I never wrote a picture." He's right, technically, no one writes a picture, you draw one. He's telling a truth but lying @ the same time.
The relation btw. his word-finding difficulties & whatever kind of #dementia he has is something else. I wonder if #neurologists have studied the effects of relentless lying on the #hippocampus. IOW, lying as a cause of dementia.
