Cognitive care should not be disrupted by arbitrary age cut offs. This is a session where we will discuss the importance of continuum of cognitive care at the AAN annual meeting.

Came here to post re: my canceled NIH study section + horrific US govt attacks on science, but also on societal response to this angler fish & how that mirrors often erroneous approaches to animal disease models. Human motivations ≠ animal motivations. If science survives, let's be better. #ethology

Had a great time giving Neurology Grand Rounds at my residency alma mater @bostonchildrens.bsky.social - I especially enjoyed talking to the residents who told me great GR lectures have practical relevance and talk about a career journey. Great advice ❤️

To understand the human brain, we often study mice. But how does a mouse brain compare to a primate brain? In a recent study, we developed a quantitative method to compare the brains of different animal species, and discovered a potentially unique aspect of the primate brain.

Setting a good rhythm for my Sunday with this new eLife review from Ichim…Muresan on gamma oscillations - from neural processing to brain maintenance. Brain rhythms for breakfast. 1/10 #neuroscience 🧪🧠
The gamma rhythm as a guardian of brain health
Fast oscillations (30-150Hz), generated by internal brain mechanisms may be essential for the maintenance of healthy brain function.
