Catherine Hall
Professor of Neurovascular stuff at Sussex Uni and UCL. My lab researches how the brain controls its blood flow.

- Rory’s a true highlight of the morning. Inspirational, entertaining and sobering about how much we need to do as a research community.

- I'm hiring! Come and work with me at UCL to try and understand how the brain's blood vessels go wrong and promote dementia: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
- Ooh go on Scotland! Noooooooo
- Heeeeheeeeee

- Cheviots and many breaths of fresh air!!
- It’s me!
- Meet Prof @cathnaledi.bsky.social , Group Leader at the BHF - UK DRI Centre for Vascular Dementia Research (CVDR) 👋 Prof Hall's research has transformed our understanding of how the brain balances energy supply and demand. Learn more here 👉https://tinyurl.com/ycpf426p
- This is super interesting analysis!!

- Reposted by Catherine HallDelighted to share our latest review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience! We examine the growing evidence that vascular dysfunction plays a key role in cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Very excited that this is official now! Lots of setting up currently but will be recruiting soon!!
- Delighted to welcome a new Group Leader to our flagship vascular dementia research centre with @thebhf.bsky.social 🎉👏 Prof Catherine Hall @cathnaledi.bsky.social and her team will examine how changes in blood flow & oxygen supply drive the onset of vascular dementia & Alzheimer’s👉 buff.ly/gyouoEV
- I'm collating slides for our collaborator group lab Summer Symposium tomorrow. The brief is "cool things you learnt over the last year" and I cannot over-emphasise how optimistic I am about the future of science with this bunch of trainees' contributions!
- - from the best stats analysis to the coolest talk at a conference to AI to skills they've developed. These folks are exciting and excited!
- Please consider supporting the Wildlife Trusts' purchase and work in the Rothbury Estate in Northumberland to create a huge wildlife corridor from the hills to the sea and protect species like the red squirrel and golden eagle. Donations currently match funded! donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05...
- Toooooooooon!
- @physoc.bsky.social has a starter pack of physiologists. Hooray!! go.bsky.app/2KU1XD6at://did:plc:llvoqu3kegs7xiihbs32fueh/app.bsky.graph.starterpack/3lgipqnbuqu2d
- New paper led by @silvia-anderle.bsky.social Lifestyle matters for genetic Alzheimer’s disease risk: APOE4 reduces neurovascular function most in an already-stressed system, when neurons are active and mice do less exercise. I'll tell you all about it! 🧪 #neuroscience #alzheimers rdcu.be/d74uh
- APOE4 increases your risk of getting Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is linked to early blood flow changes in the brain. So does APOE4 impair brain blood flow? Previously Orla Bonnar and @kirasha.bsky.social found APOE4 has only subtle effects on vessel function journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10...
- But others studying anaesthetised mice found big effects of APOE4 on blood vessels. Why the difference? Well, Orla's mice were super-fit and healthy with an exercise wheel in their cage. Exercise protects from dementia - were Orla's mice' blood vessels protected?

View full threadSo neurovascular coupling is more immediately sensitive to physical activity level - but maybe changes in basal neurovascular function take longer to develop? Better keep up that exercise routine (she says, hypocritically)! Anyway thanks again team and to you for reading!
- Get your cerebral blood flow and metabolism abstracts in for Brain and BrainPET 2025 in Seoul! Deadline Feb 1st!! I’m so excited! www.brain2025.org
