We thank you for your leadership and dedication to education & patient care.University of Nebraska Medical Center Nebraska Medicine Women In Neurosurgery (WINS) Children's Nebraska

Great talk by Josue Avecillas-Chasin MD PhD. Historical background and the current concepts of DBS for psychiatric disorders were nicely summarized CNS. #CNS2024

Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury, stroke and other neurodegenerative disorders. bit.ly/3Y3OA2C Marco Capogrosso Elvira Pirondini RNEL UPMC PM&R UPMC Physician Resources Jonathan Ho

That's a big aneurysm...

That is why it is an art.. leaving the artistic nature of the human body untouched as much as possible..

Can deep brain stimulation (DBS) induce euphoria and mania? You bet it can. This is an area where AI will always lose to a clinician's perceptive eye. Check out this case by Patricia Coutinho, Kara Johnson and colleagues in Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements Journal. My take: Remember STN is a tiny target

Many people turn to DBS for levodopa resistant tremor.

Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. Never accept an idea just because someone with a title says it’s true.

The Kerrison rongeur is used to excise pieces of the inner cortical layer, expanding the burr hole's size and enhancing access to the surgical site while minimizing the risk of damaging the surrounding structures. Learn more here | zurl.co/tXgX. #MedTwitter

It's #FluorescenceFriday and this will always be one of my favorite photos I took from the hippocampus, a small part of the brain important for learning and memory. This region is involved in all my projects, plays a key role in Alzheimer and can also be affected by #NeuroCovid

Everyone knows about reward systems in the brain. Today we meet the hero of the often-neglected anti-reward system. Habenula anatomy and function…

Working memory works better when neural activity is transient, rather than persistent. No wonder the brain does it that way. Recurrent neural networks with transient trajectory explain working memory encoding mechanisms nature.com/articles/s4200… #neuroscience

Briefly breaking my twitter silence to mention that I am hiring, postdocs, PhDs and admin folks to found a new institute for network stimulation in Cologne, Germany! More info on the other platform: bsky.app/profile/andrea… Please RT for reach! 🙏🙏

Today kicks of #Resident Appreciation Week and we couldn't be more grateful & proud of our #neurosurgery house officers! Thank you for all you do & your unwavering dedication! These amazing trainees ARE the future of neurosurgery! University of Nebraska Medical Center UNMC College of Medicine Nebraska Medicine Children's Nebraska

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 Dream study of mine for 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead Martin Seeber We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…

It’s a mistake to outsource most writing to AI. Even if the output is accurate and engaging, something valuable is lost in the process. Jotting down intuitions and spelling out hunches is how we develop and refine our ideas. Writing is where we do our best thinking.

I am deeply saddened by the news of Prof. Gazi Yaşargil’s passing, and so close to his 100th birthday and the yasargil100 Symposium to honor him. I am presenting in Zürich in a few weeks and was greatly looking forward to meeting Dr. Yaşargil, and giving him this portrait. Truly

We are excited to announce that earlier this week, University of Nebraska Medical Center was designated as a NASBS Multidisciplinary Team of Distinction (MTD). This is an educational & institutional honor that is granted to those institutions that meet the MTD criteria. Congratulations! 🏆Nebraska Medicine
