‘I can’t get started without a coffee.’ For many people, this statement is a standard morning greeting. But the mass consumption of coffee can make us forget what caffeine really is- a drug. So how does it compare to other drugs, namely cocaine and cannabis? Adam and Tiffany’s Facebook Live on caffeine https://www.facebook.com/NeuroNewsResearch/videos/532206153896681/ Ruairi’s article on Marilyn Cornelis’ study https://www.technologynetworks.com/genomics/articles/the-genetics-of-coffee-consumption-310193 For more videos from me, head to www.youtube.com/sophsnotes Tweet me if you want, @sophsnotes!

By the time someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, irreversible damage has already been done to the brain. In this video, I discuss 'biomarkers', which could be used to spot Alzheimer's in its early stages. From imaging methods, to chemical analysis, to current research that's going on right now.

Parkinson's disease is caused by the death of dopamine neurones in the brain. Current treatments focus on treating the symptoms of this, but perhaps it's time we changed our tactic. In this video, I discuss current research investigating using stem cells to replace damaged neurones in Parkinson's. Could something that once sounded like science fiction actually be a potential future treatment? Check out more of my videos at youtube.com/sophsnotes

Can stem cells be used to treat Parkinson’s disease?

Exhaustion chic is in. Coffee is a food group. Sleep is an inconvenience. Sleep, for many people, gets put to the bottom the priority list, but it’s a vital part of our lives, and biology. Not only this, but irregular sleep patterns are often not fully recognised as their own symptom, rather a side effect of medications or some other physiological state. In this video, I try to prove how intertwined sleep is with our mental and physical wellbeing, and shine some light on what it could teach us, if we only took it a bit more seriously. Respect The Rhythms.
