Out now in @PLOSBiology! Our results support a model of increasing voice selectivity along the auditory hierarchy using intracranial recordings from human auditory cortex. 🧵 1/6 https://t.co/zWdLpoYpCp @kylemrupp @jasminehect @readymadeloaf @bchandra_pitt @TaylorAbelMD

I'm honored to join the Board of Directors for the Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance @PESAlliance !

PESA offers crucial education and support to our epilepsy surgery families. I'm thrilled to be part of the team!

🚨 If you’re still around @SfNtweets don’t miss this awesome line up of auditory neuroscience posters in row DD this afternoon!! 👀 @kylemrupp @PBELab @SamNormanH @LibertySays

[Jasmine Hect @JasmineHect]

My first APAN has been such fun! Blown away by the density of high quality work and of brilliant and friendly peers and mentors! 🤗

[Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery Alliance @PESAlliance]

🗓️6-month post-op:

✅18.87% seizure free

✅46.28% free of atonic seizures

‼️Atonic seizure rate ⬇️80.12% from 8.3 to 1.65 daily

<5% with permanent neuro deficits.

Thank you @JasmineHect @TaylorAbelMD @PBELab 🔥

Very proud of this‼️The largest meta-analysis to date of seizure outcomes following MRgLITT corpus callosum ablation 🧠💥 + technique tips for success. Thank you to collaborators and mentors for their invaluable guidance! @TaylorAbelMD @PBELab https://t.co/znL0UAk8Oa

[Jasmine Hect @JasmineHect]

Congrats co-authors! Low-grade epilepsy associated tumors (LEATs) are a common cause of DRE 🧠 ⚡️ Here we provide proof of concept and prelim data for the analysis of residual tumor on SEEG electrodes to aid in diagnosis. Worth future study!

Join us in congratulating PBE Lab MD/PhD student @JasmineHect on receiving the NOA for her F30!!

[Jasmine Hect @JasmineHect]

🥳 Thrilled to announce that my F30 has been funded by @NIDCD!! Massive thanks to my incredible mentors for their all of their edits and support! @PBELab @TaylorAbelMD @kylemrupp @PittNeurosurg @PittCMU_MSTP @PittGradStudies

[Taylor J. Abel @TaylorAbelMD]

Great job to @eef91214 Emily Harford on her first first author paper! @PBELab

[Symposium for Cognitive Auditory Neuroscience @SymCogAudNeuro]

Thanks to those that tuned in for our first symposium of #SCAN2023! Remember to mark your calendars for April 28 and May 19 and to join us on Slack (https://t.co/XYeNpbA354). See you there!🧠👂💬

🧠In this study the authors directly examined neural responses to familiar voices & faces in human #FusiformGyri using direct cortical recordings in epilepsy surgery patients

[UPMC @UPMCnews]

To recognize a famous voice, human brains use the same center that lights up when the speaker��s face is presented, finds a clever neuroscience study where participants were asked to identify U.S. presidents. https://t.co/f5anl1nhBg @APSPhysiology @TaylorAbelMD

Great job to @nallimuthiah and the team!
