The human brain reimagined: Eleanor Maguire, transforming understanding of neuroscience Eleanor Maguire transformed our understanding of human memory and how we approach neuroscience research, inspiring generations of scientists and paving the way for some of our biggest breakthroughs.

We are delighted to see departmental alumni Eleanor Maguire, and her former PhD student Sir Demis Hassabis, honoured in the UCL Faces project, as part of UCL’s bicentenary celebrations. Read about their valuable contributions on the UCL Faces webpage.

UCL researchers uncover distinct brain changes in Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia UCL researchers have used advanced brain imaging to uncover the distinct brain changes between people with Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia, opening the door to more targeted treatments

Really excited to share first published paper of the year! Thank you to @uclbrainscience.bsky.social for highlighting: www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-scienc.... We found different organisational changes in Lewy body disease patients with dementia versus those with intact cognition, using structural gradients.
