With the first tweet of 2024, I am happy to announce that I am officially starting my lab Brigham and Women's Neurology next month: khoshkhoolab.com. We are recruiting at every level, but particularly looking for talented postdocs and a lab manager, please RT and spread the word.

Have you made a clinical decision based on an EEG 😰? Accurate interpretation of an EEG is a MUST, yet how you write your findings is also important! 🤔🤯 UAB Neurology Residency UABEpilepsyFellowship Mauricio F. Villamar 🇪🇨 Check our latest article 😃: neurology.org/doi/10.1212/CP…

Our new study is out today in nature! We employed Neuropixels recordings to understand how speech is produced by single neurons in the human brain. nature.com/articles/s4158…

In the community-based #ARIC cohort, post-traumatic epilepsy was associated with an increased risk of dementia that was significantly higher than the risk associated with head injury or seizure/epilepsy alone. ja.ma/3SPl24Z Andrea Schneider Penn Medicine University of Pennsylvania Neurology

Did you know some patients w epilepsy can develop Parkinson's - and then their seizures can disappear? New work by Frederic Schaper Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics unravels this mystery using brain lesions that cause these two disorders academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Ballerini et al. show that people with late-onset temporal lobe epilepsy (LO-TLE) and normal levels of Alzheimer's disease CSF biomarkers have normal brain aging on MRI, suggesting that LO-TLE may not be an intrinsic risk factor for developing AD. tinyurl.com/y9rueymz

How are cortical changes in temporal lobe epilepsy related to the hippocampus, and what does this mean for treatment? Our study in JAMA Neurology shows that white matter changes, cortical atrophy, and successful neurostimulation map to brain networks connected to the hippocampus!

Can we use EEG to predict response to anti-seizure medications? Friedrichs-Maeder et al. show that RNS data can (with some caveats). journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

our manuscript is out: Late onset "unexplained" seizures are usually temporal in origin, associated with cognitive impairment, and so far we're not seeing a lot of hippocampal atrophy. academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Is generalized epilepsy a seizure of the whole brain or a specific brain network? In our new paper out now in Nature Communications we investigate this by combining brain abnormalities and DBS with the human connectome. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146… A 🧵 below:

In a new study, researchers from Brigham and Women's Neurology and colleagues found a generalized epilepsy network derived from brain abnormalities and DBS. The study was published in Nature Communications. Read more: bwhclinicalandresearchnews.org/2025/03/21/res… doi.org/10.1038/s41467…
