Marwan Hariz shared this gem with me – very educative video about stereotactic surgery in 1963.
Learned a lot and love how they speak (Swiss-German).

Excited to announce that I'll be opening a Musician's Neurology clinic , in collaboration with @USCThorton School of Music, serving the musical community in Los Angeles and Southern California. More details to come!

Hey #Neurotwitter what’s the consensus on anticoagulating non-occlusive CVT (not yet complicated) associated with head and neck infection? 🧐

Sometimes it’s just impossible to be Aristotelian. Sometimes it’s just as simple and vague as it is; « WHERE I AM FROM, IF YOU PUT IT IN A POT, SEASON IT RIGHT AND COOK IT, THEY CALL IT A GUMBO, AND IF YOU FIX IT RIGHT, IT’S GOOD!» Buddy Guy

A few weeks ago, we released a preprint on propofol anesthesia's effects on alpha (~10 Hz) oscillations in human thalamocortical networks. This short study is the culmination of over a decade's work, made possible by two datasets and a number of technical advances. 🧵:

If you are interested in the brain oscillatory dynamics in altered states of consciousness, my amazing friends and ex lab mates, & characterized the unique alternating gamma slow-delta dynamics of ketamine anesthesia:

I pushed my first tPA today I am not gonna lie, it was quite similar to the saline flush, except for feeling a much greater responsibility. What is amazing though, is that moment of collectively making a final decision in the face of all uncertainties.

Last year on the 31st, in the midst of the residency application, I tweeted this. The recital, the one thing I was certain about, got cancelled because of the pandemic! But here I am, on the 31st again, enjoying a night shift in the ICU! It’s all about the UNCERTAINTY!

Thank you for sharing our work, at , with the society; Brain oscillatory states could link the neurobiological processes at the cellular level to the cognitive level! 〰️🧠
