Some light weekend reading after a busy clinic week. Interesting and thought-provoking discussion about the role of biology (i.e. genetics) and environmental factors in intelligence from the standpoint of published neuroscience research. 🧬🧠🤓📚

Batten’s disease is a pediatric-onset neurodegenerative disease. Early disease identification and treatment help improve patient outcomes. This amazing family has taught me so much as a new attending! Very honored to take care of them! #raredisease 🥰🧠m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=I…

Fantastic new story from Dana Marafi, LupskiLab, and BCM GREGoR Consortium about a peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome caused by loss of the juxtaparanodal protein LGI3 - facial myokymia, distal deformities and diminished reflexes, and DD/ID! cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

1/🧵 Why is a ketogenic diet a potentially effective treatment for refractory epilepsy? There's something almost magical about the idea that a specific type of diet could reduce the risk of epileptic seizures. Let's explore why that might be. #medtwitter #tweetorial

“Make your job your hobby, then you’ll be able to carry it out for 40 years with the same enthusiasm”-Nobel Laureate Aaron Ciechanover. The most successful, gifted and talented people I know live by this statement. Hopefully in 40 years I feel about my work the way I do today!😊

This is BIG! Neurology Journal #Infantilespasms: most babies who respond have no spasms by day 7 of tx with #ACTH #prednisolone or #vigabatrin. If spasms persist at day 7, change meds!

At the end of a great ASHG #ASHG22, I wanted to share & get feedback on my "cheatsheet" of online resources, tools, and databases. This was developed with Capra Lab collabs 🙏and at VUMC medical genetics. Please comment/message to add 💡! docs.google.com/document/d/1QS…

Thanks for the opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of considering genetic-metabolic etiologies in acute neurological decline across the lifespan. 🧠🧬

Driving in to work this morning feeling like I’ve either reached an Arctic tundra or the North Pole right before Christmas! -50 with wind chill and coldest Christmas weekend in 40 something years in Nebraska (now that’s saying something)!🥶❄️🌲🎅#Omaha #Nebraska

1/I always tell my fellows, “Anyone can see the bright spot on diffusion—what sets you apart is if you can tell them why it’s there!” Can you tell a stroke’s etiology from its appearance on MRI? Here’s a #tweetorial to show you how! #medtwitter #neurotwitter #stroke #neurorad
