Really excited that my lab at MSFEA is presenting three posters at #SfN22 in San Diego for the first time! Stop by the convention center and meet my PhD students on Wed at 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Society for Neuroscience (SfN) American University of Beirut

It’s a wrap! My PhD students did a great job presenting their work to the community! It’s been a busy week of great science and reconnecting with colleagues and friends! Thanks Society for Neuroscience (SfN) for a great conference! 🧠MSFEA

I am filled with utter shock and sadness as my UChicago colleague, friend, inspiring young scientist and good human being, sliman bensmaia (@[email protected]) , passed away today. This is a big loss for his family, friends and the field of neuroscience. My love and thoughts go to his family. 💔

Check out the two amazing speech BCI studies, in patients that are not able to speak anymore, published in nature today: nature.com/articles/s4158… nature.com/articles/s4158… These studies really push the state of the art and bring clear benefit to patients. What an exciting time!

Excited to announce our roster of local experts at the upcoming 🧩Global Advances in Mental Health (#GAMH)🧩 conference on November 17-18, 2023! Register now: aub.edu.lb/fm/CME/Pages/R…

Excited to share our latest work in @nature. “Dopaminergic error signals retune to social feedback during courtship” tiny.cc/77lbvz Huge congrats to co-first author AndreaRoeser, Jesse Goldberg, and the team!

Nice cover!

🚀Exciting start to our last session of #GAMH🧩on #Artificial #Intelligence and #Mental #Health, moderated by Dr. Martine Bejjani and Dr. Charline El Hachem!🧠 Dr. Arij Daou leads the discussion with a fascinating exploration at the intersection of neuroscience and AI.🎶🐦

Congrats Joseph Costantine and Youssef Tawk … Proud of you guys!

Led by my research assistant at Stanford University, we explored how changes in temperature affect the way neurons fire and communicate, and uncovered some fascinating mathematical patterns that help explain how brain cells respond to stress. MSFEA biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

The brain’s magic lies in weaving the brief into the beautiful. Led by my PhD student Ms. Zeina Merabi, we explored how auditory neurons integrate sequential stimuli across extended timescales. MSFEA Songbird Research American University of Beirut biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🧠✨ New paper out! We built an #AI system to detect #Alzheimers disease from #MRI scans - accurate, fast, and transparent. ✅ 99% accuracy ✅ XRAI shows where the brain changes are ✅ Web app: results in <20 sec MSFEA American University of Beirut Universität München mdpi.com/2075-4418/15/2…

Two #NCNG lab projects from American University of Beirut at #SfN2025: 🔥 Temperature-driven shifts in neuronal #excitability. 🎶 How #auditory neurons integrate information over extended timescales. Proud of my students’ incredible work! Society for Neuroscience (SfN) MSFEA #Neuroscience #SfN25
