This research program focuses on the behavioural symptoms of dementia. These symptoms are common, and can range from reduced motivation and empathy to overeating, gambling and socially-inappropriate or repetitive behaviour. Notably, these behaviours are challenging for carers and families to cope with, and often lead to patients being placed into aged care facilities. My research aims to understand why these symptoms develop and how we can manage these behaviours effectively.

这项研究计划的重点是痴呆症的行为症状。这些症状很常见，从动机和同情心降低到暴饮暴食，赌博和社交不当或重复行为。值得注意的是，这些行为对护理人员和家庭来说是一个挑战，往往导致患者被安置在老年护理设施中。我的研究旨在了解为什么这些症状会发生，以及我们如何有效地管理这些行为。
