Do you know the all the prognostic features and markers to predict recovery from brain injury? This is a 'money figure' and a must read fresh review in @JAMANeuro by Fischer and Edlow @ComaRecoveryLab.
Key Points:
- 'Anticipating a patient’s capacity to recover neurologic function depends on markers that evaluate the functional integrity of the brain, markers that evaluate the structural integrity of the brain, and contextual features.'
- 'There are conventional markers used for this purpose, as well as numerous emerging technologies that may improve the accuracy of these assessments.'
- We have a long way to go, however we are making progress.

What will Deep Brain Stimulation look like in 2040? Now: last resort, broad application, specialty centers. Future: 1st or 2nd line therapy, specific application, mainstream. Like cardiac pacemakers. Dr Litt at NAS meeting. @DBSThinkTank
Hello Big Pharma, given the great successes in NeuroTech devices why don’t you invest more dollars? You are putting 50X more money into pharmaceuticals. Just saying. Maybe less blockbusters, however more successes… @royalsociety @DBSThinkTank
1/Time to rupture all your misconceptions about aneurysms!
When you see an aneurysm on imaging, do you know its risk of rupture?
Do you know which features make one aneurysm more likely to rupture?
Here’s a short thread to teach you which aneurysms are bursting with risk!
Time to abandon the name deep brain stimulation? How about a rebrand to 'brain pacemaker' which could ultimately provide a better connection to the persons with disease and to their families. Great discussion stimulated by @drpouratian at the @DBSThinkTank https://t.co/pAsYRmfRrt @PdAvengers
Just rewatched Idiocracy (2006) and this film has aged like a fine wine. This movie serves as a hysterical extreme warning of what automation and the erosion of education could do to humanity.
9/10, well worth the rewatch! Stay educated my friends. 🧠
