The impact of the human thalamus on brain-wide information processing- we love the thalamus! nature.com/articles/s4158…

52 of us Black science faculty came together to discuss Juneteenth and how we can use this holiday to reflect on the ongoing barriers Black scientists face and how we can come together as a biomedical enterprise to tackle these challenges. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Also, 300 student and post-doc registrants from low- or middle-income countries can receive a free 7-day STM Metro pass on a first-come, first-served basis. Attendees from qualifying countries (humanbrainmapping.org/files/2023%20-…) can fill out the following form (docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…)

Gearing up for 5 days of human neuroscience 🧠 Looking forward to the SP-SIG events especially!

Congratulations for an outstanding PhD defense by Dr. L. Kelton Wilmerding KeltonWilmerding about his dissertation work with me and Steve Ramirez! Kelton is a Renaissance Fair fan, so he requested a dubbing ceremony with his own sword.

We're excited to announce that the applications for the 2024 Advanced Research Training Courses at the MBL are OPEN! Deepen your horizons. Deepen your understanding. Go deep at the MBL. mbl.edu/courses

A role for the thalamus in danger discrimination during sleep researchsquare.com/article/rs-339…

We are recruiting a full-time clinical research coordinator to join our lab at MGH and MIT this summer – could be a great fit for those who want to gain experience with neuroimaging technologies or neuroscience of sleep. To apply: posting #3275534 at partners.taleo.net/careersection/…

Birth of a neuron. Stem cell transforming into a brain cell

We spent hundreds of hours recording neural activity from sleep and arousal-related cell types in the deep brain, all while delivering variant focused ultrasound pulsing schemes to gain insight into one of the most daunting questions in the field: 'What are the parameters?'.

We mapped the subcortical hubs of brain networks that sustain consciousness to provide therapeutic targets for patients with severe brain injuries. preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… hub maps: github.com/ComaRecoveryLa… Morgan Cambareri Jian Li (Andrew) Andreas Horn Laura Lewis

A privilege to be a part of the inaugural NY BCI Symposium presenting on BCI clinical outcome assessments. Having ppl w lived experience, advocates, FDA, CMS, researchers, industry, clinicians and VCs in the room was monumental. Thank you to Mount Sinai Neurosurgery for organzing

Thrilled to introduce Stadium Science newest Science Advisor @setzersscience! Her first piece challenges common assumptions about sleep. Surprising fact: Getting more sleep doesn't automatically mean better sleep quality. Our metrics show complex interactions between sleep

I was featured in MIT's Institute for Medical Science and Engineering's newsletter last week. Can you tell that North Carolina is one of my favorite places by the way I talk about it? Lol imes.mit.edu/news-events/co…

This is Nudge Zero — a high channel count, ultrasound phased array, packed into a helmet structure that can be used in an MRI machine.

Nudge Zero has the potential to deliver anatomically precise, personalized treatments, engaging deep regions of the brain that are typically accessible only through invasive surgery.

It’s been an incredible time so far—today is my 90 day mark here and I’ve already had the opportunity to tackle some serious technical challenges as well as design and ship the latest device.
