Soft-pouch robots may offer a promising opportunity to safely navigate the narrow anatomical windows encountered during skull base approaches. Grateful to have assisted in the manuscript of this amazing project now published!

Thrilled to share our paper in Neurosurgery Publications characterizing 146 intracranial epidermoid cysts! We discuss high recurrence esp after STR, common postop complications, frequent long-term symptom resolution, and a unique case of malignant transformation: doi.org/10.1227/neu.00…

Our newly published video offers a side-by-side comparison between endonasal and open approaches to similar tuberculum meningiomas Neurosurgery Publications UCSF Neurosurgery. The video can be found at journals.lww.com/onsonline/cita…

Super excited to share our recent work now out in nature! We introduce trans-synaptic tracing tools from circuit neuroscience to study the whole-brain connectome of glioblastoma. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Incredibly grateful and proud to have been given the opportunity to contribute to this issue of CNS quarterly. Creating space not only for my communities but also for all identities in neurosurgery is so important to me. 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇷

"... I ended up being reluctant to work with undergraduate researchers at all—until a new student helped me realize what is required to mentor undergraduates, and the rewards it can bring." #NationalMentoringMonth scim.ag/3Cp5C35

The NASBS 34th Annual Meeting & WFSBS 9th World Congress is under two weeks away! Join NASBS President-Elect, Dr. L. Madison Michael II, for an exciting conference packed with fresh ideas, energy, and collaboration. Can’t wait to see you all there!

🚨NEW PREPRINT🚨 What if we could… 🏠 collect quality neural-behavioral data at home 🧠 identify naturalistic + personalized brain signatures of movement state 🚶🏽‍♂️use these biomarkers to drive real-time adaptive DBS for gait disorders Our new work Doris Wang shows how! (1/8)

Very excited to share my PhD project, out today in Neuron! Check out the thread below for my best attempt at a high-level summary. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Thrilled to share our preprint! We show that the aperiodic exponent reflects glioma-driven excitability, varies by subtype, tracks language performance, and links to excitatory gene programs—highlighting its potential as a noninvasive marker of glioma-induced E/I dysregulation.

A nice summary of our recent paper in by the transmitter!

Thrilled to share our new Adesnik lab paper! Using holography in excitatory & inhibitory neurons, we reveal how a single cortical circuit can both complete and cancel predictable sensory activity, sharpening representations 📄biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵

🔎🧠Does preop embolization improve oncological outcomes in meningiomas? Our team @UCSFNeurosurg analyzed 319 patients, finding that embo improves local control and modulates gene expression in atypical WHO grade 2 meningiomas! Read it now SNO - link in thread (1/4)

We believe what we see, but we also see what we believe. This is why we see illusions - our prior knowledge of the sensory world tricks us into seeing things that aren't there. How does this happen in the brain? In this study... nature.com/articles/s4159…

Neurons in mouse primary visual cortex that respond emergently to illusory contours drive pattern completion Hyeyoung Shin Hillel Adesnik nature.com/articles/s4159…

As an Argentinian neuroscientist, I wanted to show people back home what it means to write neural activity directly into the brain using lasers. So naturally, I chose the one word guaranteed to spark joy across the country: #Messi 🇦🇷 See our fantastic study led by Hyeyoung Shin

The 2025 physics laureate John Clarke was born in 1942 in Cambridge, UK. He received his PhD in 1968 from the Cambridge University, UK. He is currently a professor at the UC Berkeley, USA. physics.berkeley.edu/people/faculty…

Congratulations to UC Berkeley professor Omar M. Yaghi for winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his groundbreaking work, which has already shown promise in yielding drinkable water from desert air. 🔵🟡🏅

(1/8) My latest study is out in nature ! Kudos to coauthors especially Jess Cardin and to Yale Kavli Institute for Neuroscience and Wu Tsai Institute | Yale University for support. We find that gamma power in mouse visual cortex is caused by brief events supporting visual processing nature.com/articles/s4158…
