The supplementary material of this study is a hidden gem for anyone interested in neuroanatomy of subcortical tracts! This should be a textbook. nature.com/articles/s4146… static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1…

Be honest! Do you say “thalamic infarct” & hope no one asks questions? Or can you name thalamic vascular territories? Know why the whole thalamus doesn’t infarct w/a PCA infarct? Answer: It’s supplied both by PCA & PCOMM! Here's what you NEED to know about the thalamus!

Think you know brain vascular anatomy? How many brain vascular circles do you know? Everyone knows the Circle of Willis, but few know its venous counterpart: Venous Circle of Trolard! Can you see the polygon on top of a❤️?? Venous Circle of Trolard is the midline connection

Beautifully-written article about Bryan D. Choi MD PhD @MGHCancerCenter MGH Neurosurgery 's CAR T-cell trial for GBM. Proud to be working in the Choi lab during this exciting time! nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Such an incredible piece! I am so lucky to have the privilege to learn medicine alongside @michellembosche and am very thankful for you sharing these reflections

New Yale Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging low-field MRI review! 🧲 Great summary of hardware/software advances behind today's innovative scanner designs & applications. 📰: doi.org/10.1146/annure… 👏 Anja Samardzija Kartiga Selvaganesan Horace Zhang Heng Sun Chenhao Sun Gigi Galiana Todd Constable (find me here @toddc.bsky.social)

Are we too cortex exclusive? 🧠 We found that perceptual decisions depend on a cortical pathway through thalamus (transthalamic), even though corticocortical projections are intact. Transthalamic pathways thus play a major but underappreciated role in perception. 1/5

Anatomy of the internal capsule... the internal capsule is a white matter structure located between the caudate nucleus & thalamus (medially) and the lentiform nucleus (laterally) and is traversed by several important white matter tracts... #MedEd #RADEd #FOAMed #Radres #FOAMrad

Thanks to American Society of Emergency Radiology | ASER for having me— was great to present some of the work we’re doing MESH Incubator™ at Mass General Brigham to implement AI in ED workflows!

We’re excited to share our study looking at molecular classification and survival of 4,400 #gliomas SNO A huge team effort over the years @MGBNeurosurgery Brigham and Women's Neurosurgery Dana-Farber, here’s what we found. 1/10 academic.oup.com/neuro-oncology…

I am super excited by this figure just published by Mallory Hacker, PhD, MSCI et al. – why? Let’s unpack… 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Excited to share my lastPhD publication! We discovered non-inherited mutational patterns in schizophrenia occurring before birth. Huge collaborative effort w/ Vladimir Seplyarskiy Attila Jones science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Fantastic, authoritative & comprehensive ‘roadmap’ article out in Nature Rev Neurosci by Segobin et al. about in vivo segmentation of the thalamus. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New research demonstrates that DBS of the motor thalamus improves arm and hand function in individuals affected by #TBI and #strokes, offering a potential breakthrough in neurorehabilitation. AANS CNS #ASSFN #neurosurgery #medtwitter #MedX nature.com/articles/s4146…

In a new Nature Communications study, researchers from the lab of W. Taylor Kimberly at MGH Neurocritical Care demonstrated that a portable MRI shows promise for expanding brain imaging for #Alzheimer's disease. Read more: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

What if you could target brain regions important for recovery after spinal cord injury with DBS? Can you say hypothamamus? Guess what Cho and colleagues from Switzerland did just that in a brilliant new paper Nature Medicine. Key Points: - People don't think about it, but guess

Cool study in Science Magazine shows that stimulation of the human primary sensory cortex can produce reliable finger sensation, thus combining stimulation in different locations, amplitude, and duration can restore feelings of shape and motion. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Reversible opening of blood-brain barrier is here. NEJM study showed that low-intensity focused ultrasound can temporarily open the blood-brain barrier to augment antibody-based removal of amyloid plaque in patients with Alzheimer’s disease by up to 63%. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
