Description

Welcome to the 16th episode of The Brain Podcast - the official podcast of the journals Brain and Brain Communications

We are very excited to feature a January issue Brain article, where we speak with senior author Dr Lasse M Giil entitled:  Impaired glucose utilization in the brain of patients with delirium following hip fracture

Delirium is a common condition with significant impact on patient outcome. This episode discussed potential intrinsic brain mechanisms that may underly delirium. The team explores the evidence that delirium is more than just a systemic process that extends into the brain but may involve pathophysiological alterations of brain function. Listen to how this may change clinical practice.

This episode was co-hosted by Andreas Themistocleous and Michael David,  edited and produced by Michael David and Xin You Tai, co-produced by Antonia Johnston, original music by Ammar Al-Chalabi.
