Happy to share we have welcomed a new member of the family: Naomi Ayla Benhaim-Azim! She enjoys long naps and hanging out with her big brother. #Neurosurgery #WomeninNeurosurgery UC San Diego Neurological Surgery

I am hiring postdocs! our lab uses mouse genetics to study somatosensation: from pleasure to pain and everything in between. Check out abrairalab.org. Will be at SFN recruiting!!! #sfn22

Kay M Tye PhD Eiman Azim Cory Miller Cris Niell David Schneider The Yttri Lab @GoldenNeuron Jesse Goldberg @elegansdiversus Sam Wang is at samwang.bsky.social + other behavior folks come chill with us on Monday! 😎

Honored to speak to NPR about how new surgical treatments are helping #epilepsy patients who are medication resistant live a seizure-free life. Very happy this information is being shared, as some patients aren’t aware of their surgical options: bit.ly/3ZTIX5T

The amazing Sharona Ben-Haim, MD npr.org/2023/01/19/114…

🎉🎉 Our big consortium paper, led by @Samuel_J_Sober, showing high channel count EMG electrodes that can isolate action potentials from many motor units across a range of behaviors and species is now out in preprint form. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Delighted to have the @NINDSFunding’s support and recognition of this important research, which we hope will lead to improved, non-opioid treatments for intractable pain. UC San Diego Neurological Surgery

Congrats to Sharona Ben-Haim, MD, incoming chair of Women in Neurosurgery! @WINSneurosurge1 UC San Diego Neurological Surgery #AANS2023

Word has quickly gotten around about the untimely death of sliman bensmaia (@[email protected]). I wanted to pass on a couple more bits of information, including a gofundme for Kerry and kids (gofundme.com/f/sliman-bensm…) and a photo album (photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNz…). Add your favorites!
