Check out these awesome rockstars! Congratulations to Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases for having the best mentors, physicians, and scholars we know! Basil Gator welcomes them to the professorship level (he is emeritus). #NeuroTwitter #MyPDisBetterThanYours

Nothing says OR day like having a guided tour through the mexican food world by the hand of Enrique Martinez and Gator Master Michael Okun. I do not know what we stimulated more today, the STN or the NTS (cue neurological laugh) 😂


Kicking off the 5th year of awesome TEAM lecture series! What better way to start the new year than some charcut and Charcot? Sign up for this series that is now a central part of the movement disorders lore! tinyurl.com/4pfjknxu Katie Moore, MD MSc Abhimanyu Mahajan


Ready to learn about our favorite thing: P H E N O M E M O L O G Y ! ! ! With Dr. Steven Frucht and the movement disorders TEAM represented by Katie Moore, MD MSc Our favorite phenomenology is null points is dystonic tremor! Love to see that tremor stop. What is yours? 🐊🔥



Kicking off the Aspen Course with Michael Okun’s legendary presentation about surgical treatments. Way more out there than DBS and FUS! He is at a legend level where he self-cites his own tweets 💪🔥🔥🔥



What movement disorders can you see in Huntington's disease? Jennifer Goldman, MD, MS shows us that we can learn the whole spectrum of movement disorders in HD! Chorea, abnormal eye movements, tics, craniocervical dystonia, myoclonus, parkinsonism, and motor impersistence.


If you are at the American Neurological Association meeting this weekend you should DROP ANYTHING YOU ARE DOING and go see Joshua Wong talk on ethics of DBS. If you are not there, ask yourself “why am I not there?”

Dystonia is hard. Different treatments. A TON of causes. What if I missed something critical? "I cannot go to jail", you say. "Not again..." Check out this review that I wrote with Abhimanyu Mahajan in Practical Neurology What not to miss? How to treat? ⬇️ practicalneurology.com/articles/2024-…

Check out this paper that our boi Enrique Martinez wrote with the prince in Cinci Abhimanyu Mahajan This should go straight into the printer and taped into the wall of the workroom. Very useful algorithms to treat dystonia!


Interesting presentation on prodromal RBD and risk for cognitive impairment in PD by Enrique Martinez UF Movement Fellowship. Preliminary analysis of PPMI data suggests risk for a “malignant” non-motor disease, after controlling for motor features. #MDSCongress



Do you subscribe to the free Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases Movement Messenger? It is terrific and reviews many timely topics in the field like how do early REM sleep issues signal faster decline in Parkinson's? New research uncovers a unique non-motor symptom profile in Parkinson’s patients


Explanting a DBS lead on someone was otherwise doing G R E A T? Don't let an infection get in your patient's way! Take a look at this case we just published in Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements Journal of a patient who had an STN lead that we explanted. #NeuroTwitter tremorjournal.org/articles/993/f…
