In this podcast we venture into the complex world of neuropathology. Our guests talk about their research, and uncover why neuropathology is so important to understanding dementias. During the discussion they also share a behind scenes glimpse into the workings of a brain bank, explore how brain tissue is used and how it can inform drug trials and personalised care, and provide a shock revelation about the difference between diagnosis in life, and what the brain shows after death.

From groundbreaking discoveries to the cutting-edge techniques transforming how we understand and approach brain health, this episode is an essential listen for anyone intrigued by the science of the brain and the fight against dementia.

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali, Senior Lecturer at Teesside University hosts our expert guests, Tammaryn Lashley, Professor of Neuroscience from University College London, Dr Daniel Erskine, Senior Lecturer in Neurodegenerative Pathology and Newcastle University and Dr Laura Palmer, Manager of the South West Dementia Brain Bank at University of Bristol.
