An important new study at CPFT led by Consultant Psychiatrist Prof John O’Brien and Consultant Neurologist Dr James Rowe is looking into the possible role of the immune system in dementia and related memory disorders. The NIMROD (Neuroimaging of Inflammation in Memory and Other Disorders) study, in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, aims to understand the role of inflammation in several forms of dementia, memory loss and depression. It also aims to identify the changes in the immune system, in the brain and rest of the body.
