Selective non-invasive ultrasound modulation of individual thalamic nuclei in healthy adults during fMRI. This has been one of the longest, hardest, most fun, and most exciting projects I have worked on. I could not be more excited to share it. Thank you to all involved.

Excellent start to the first day of the Rocky Mountain meeting #RMNS2024. Invited speaker Dr. Allan Belzberg Johns Hopkins Neurosurgery convinced us Cushing was more of a peripheral nerve neurosurgeon! Awesome showing by University of Utah Neurosurgery led by Ramesh Grandhi! Justin Zhang Sarah Nguyen

Yesterday the current Nobel Peace prize winner Narges Mohammadi (still in prison) issued a statement about another 10 women in captivity who have spoken out about the appalling treatment of Bahá’ís in Iran by the regime. The headline: 10 POLITICAL PRISONERS EXPRESS SOLIDARITY

Rounding out a terrific Rocky Mountain Meeting #RMNS2024. We concluded with the virtuoso work of Jacques Morcos MD FRCS FAANS, and a thought provoking talk by Dr. Belsberg on pain and religion Johns Hopkins Neurosurgery. Congrats to JP McGinnis, 1st place resident award, BCM Neurosurgery. bradlega

The beautiful #Bahai cemetery in #Ahvaz, which had belonged to the Baha'i community for 110 years, has been set on fire. Its ancient and sturdy trees were also cut into pieces. Why? Simply because of religious prejudice against the Baha’is. These heartless acts must stop
