Professor of Neurology, UT Health San Antonio. Vascular neurology | Neuroscience | Research: stroke recovery, AI, long covid | Cat family | He, him
Thrilled to be at #sfn25 with some of the best #NeurorepairLab science ever!

First up: a method to trace sparsely labeled, long distance neuronal projections across entire mouse spinal cords and brains.

Sunday afternoon (today, board NN12).

Cajal would be proud!

#NIH proposals due soon? Have you seen this? All upcoming deadlines will be extended. (Mine was … tomorrow.)

New paper w/ Brian McGarry, Ashvin Gandhi, and Drew Wilcock in @jamainternalmed.com!

Hospitals are complaining across the US that patients are "stuck" waiting for rehab beds at nursing homes when they are medically stable and ready for discharge. What is going on??

Dallas and New Hampshire researchers tested 128 long COVID patients with suspected dysautonomia.

Despite heavy symptoms, most showed normal results.

Only 16 percent met criteria for POTS, suggesting true autonomic dysfunction is uncommon.

US stroke neurologist here. Who can explain the new AI tool that tripled good outcomes and reduced treatment times by one hour, according to this article?

From other sources it seems to be Brainomix CTA software - would that account for such a big improvement in overall recovery?

That’s what happened to Google search? Proof that one person really can change the world!

Greatly appreciate this review of epigenetic mechanisms underlying regeneration competency only in young animals. Especially timely perspective for those of us puzzling over CNS repair.

Happy Birthday, new Parkland Hospital!

Thrilled to have been with the stroke team that admitted the very first patient, 7:01 AM, 10 years ago *today*!

While I've moved to San Antonio, Parkland still stands as a model for outstanding public hospital care.

As owner of the stroke service “black cloud” it’s good to see the ED is well prepared for our kind of day.

Post-stroke fatigue can be long-lasting and disabling in patients recovering from a #stroke. New research identified a machine learning-based model that effectively predicted early post-stroke fatigue. Knowing who is at greatest risk can inform treatment. 🧪 🧠🔄 🧠📈

Spectacular view from the 2025 Gordon Research Conference on CNS Injury & Repair near Barga, Italy. Terrific science happening here.

Double rainbow represents hope that new understanding of plasticity in spinal motor systems may lead to treatments for #stroke and other CNS diseases.

Thanks for posting this terrific paper from @erichorvitz.bsky.social and team!

Neurologists will be on board as we traditionally embrace *sequential diagnosis* where each finding generates a new differential, leading hopefully to the best next steps. 1/2

Tenecteplace (TNK) is now FDA approved for acute stroke treatment!

Brought to you by the letter “k”, here’s a great thread from bsky #stroke expert @befast.bsky.social.
It's official. For acute stroke treatment, Alteplase (tPA) is out, and Tenecteplase (TNK) is in.

But why? And more importantly, why is it called TNK when there’s no “K” in Tenecteplase?? 🧵

Congratulation to the Lone Star Stroke Consortium, ready to begin our 13th year with research that improves clinical care and implementation for stroke patients across Texas! Grateful to our research sites and the Texas Legislature for the continuing vote of confidence.
