Enjoyed kicking off the Texas Neurological Society meeting with a neurogenetics session along with Lisa Emrick, Tim Lotze, and Dan Riconda from BCM Genetic Counseling Program. I’m biased, but I thought the evening workshop was also excellent. Let’s keep building genetic literacy in neurology!

Incredible!!!

Cure GABA-A has been tirelessly working to expand an educational and informative YouTube library with 22 videos and counting, all dedicated to GABA-A variants. Here is a link to our channel we invite you to subscribe for notifications: youtube.com/@CureGABAa?fea…

Happy to share that our systematic review on language outcomes in pediatric posterior fossa tumor survivors has been published!! Vânia de Aguiar Saskia Kohnen (she/her/hers) @ENtemou Read the full paper, including suggestions for future research/clinical practice here: ejpn-journal.com/article/S1090-…

Here the editorial that Matsumoto and I co-wrote on cortico-cortical evoked potentials and how recent work may open avenues to use it as a monitoring technique for functional preservation during resective neurosurgery - even beyond language.

Up to 40% of patients with medulloblastoma receive a diagnosis of #posteriorfossasyndrome, yet simple & preventative measures could reduce the incidence by 75%. Today, I presented findings from the St. Jude Research clinical trial #SJMB12 on the experience with PFS. posteriorfossasociety

@Neurocircuits Definitely the work by Schmahmann Lab

So excited to share our latest publication evaluating sensory changes in people with cerebral palsy: tiny.cc/pq3vxz Bhooma Aravamuthan MD DPhil Danielle Guez Barber @SruthiThom61462

What does the newly discovered SCAN network do? Interestingly, it was the main network implicated in pediatric lesion-induced dystonia Thanks Rose Gelineau-Morel for leading this multi-site study. Great to see lesion work being done in pediatrics! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here’s another recent cohort paper showing the value of genetic testing in #cerebralpalsy: nature.com/articles/s4158… Just wait until we decipher the role of noncoding and structural variation in #CP

What a beautiful night honoring the one and only (legendary) Dr. Riviello!

Way to go Alejandro Rey Hipolito for a stellar talk and earning 2nd place at the 34th Annual Graduate Student Research Symposium! Rock on young man, rock on indeed!

I'm very happy to present our latest preprint: A lesion network mapping, bedside to bench approach inspired by posterior fossa syndrome, a surprising new model of dystonia, high efficacy non-canonical DBS targeting, and more! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cracking the code for cerebellar movement disorders How can dysfunction in the cerebellum cause multiple movement disorders? It’s all about the p a tt e rn s in the signals neurons use to talk to each other. Read about my last postdoc paper from the Sillitoe Lab:

Check out our new work exploring how movement disorders are encoded in the firing patterns of cerebellar nuclei neurons; and how inducing those firing patterns can reproduce the phenotypes, ranging from #dystonia to #tremor and #ataxia VanDerHeijdenLab BCMHouston Texas Children's

Check out the amazing work of Sillitoe Lab VanDerHeijdenLab showing unique codes for movement disorders in cerebellum! Their work in eLife - the journal is elifesciences.org/reviewed-prepr… with a brief write-up on how this could open the doors to future therapeutics by yours truly elifesciences.org/articles/100833
