Dr Riccardo Manca: Understanding Psychosis and Delusion in Alzheimer’s disease

In this episode, we are fortunately joined by Dr Riccardo Manco, a neuroscientist and tenured research fellow at Brunel University London, to discuss the growing literature on psychosis and delusion in Alzheimer’s disease. There is a lot to be gleaned out of his work. Instead of thinking of psychotic features as this taboo, icky subject, hopefully, today’s discussion will help clarify that it's a normal manifestation of these illnesses. Do not forget to let me know what you think of the episode with a review or a comment wherever you find my podcast. Thank you for your interest in science. - Useful links, are below: - Dr Manco’s discussed work: Capogna, E., Manca, R., De Marco, M., Hall, A., Soininen, H. and Venneri, A.
