Dr. Roy Hamilton joined host Angie Cawthon for an episode of Brain Friends to discuss the relationship between aphasia and dementia. He explained how aphasia, often caused by stroke, differs from dementia’s broader cognitive decline, while highlighting cases where the two overlap in conditions like primary progressive aphasia.

Dr. Hamilton also broke down the causes of stroke, emphasizing the urgency of recognizing symptoms early, and shared his research on using non-invasive brain stimulation to improve language recovery and preserve communication abilities in patients with aphasia.

We are pleased to acknowledge Dr. Kelly Sloane and her undergraduate student Forrest Lin ('27) for their selection to provide a summer reflection about his research experience at the Laboratory for Cognition and Neural Stimulation (LCNS). Forrest, a Bioengineering major supported by the University Scholars program, spent the summer investigating small vessel disease (SVD) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) under Dr. Sloane's mentorship. His thoughtful reflection offers valuable insights into both the technical aspects of neuroscience research and the personal growth that comes from immersive undergraduate research experiences. We are grateful to Dr. Sloane for her dedicated mentorship and to Forrest for sharing his journey with our community.
