Introducing Bernie's Freesources, a free guide to free resources for the MCAT: https://t.co/cV0CafFreg.

The mission of this website is simple: to provide completely free resources to students preparing for the MCAT.

🧠 New in @NatureNeuro: SCC-DBS modeled in macaques induced cingulum-bundle remodeling, increased myelination, & altered brain-wide connectivity, suggesting DBS may function by reshaping brain-wide networks.

Running my first marathon and fundraising for @StacheStrong.

All proceeds go to brain cancer research and advocacy.

Donate at the link above if you’re feeling up for it. Thank you 🧠❤️

A recent study by Kallel et al. reported a significantly higher levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) reduction in the directional leads group when compared to the omnidirectional group, with similar MDS-UPDRS III motor scores at 12 months.

@CNS_Update running into issues in submitting #CNS2025 abstracts when I attach any figures. The site stalls with a "please wait" notification and can't move forward.

Anyone else having this issue or just me?

Thanks, all :)

🚨 🧠Why do patients with occlusions in the same location present with very different neuro deficits? We find that brain frailty may be part of the answer, being associated with baseline stroke severity +NIHSS recovery trajectories https://t.co/JmQWN9yq36 @GreenJournal @DCNSNeuro

MMA fights get a lot of attention, but MMA (middle meningeal art) & dural blood supply doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

A thread on dural vascular anatomy!

Such an honor to represent the Georgia CTSA and the future of funding for translational science on Capitol Hill. This was special.

[Georgia CTSA @Georgia_CTSA]

⭐️Thank you to Georgia CTSA Executive Center Administrator and TL1 Trainees for engaging in meaningful discussions on Capitol Hill about the impact of clinical and #translationalscience in improving health for patients and our communities. #TS25DC

Grateful to see another work in Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology @NatRevClinOncol

[Zach Bernstein @ScienceZach]

New paper out now! Here, we highlight a case of long-term seizure reduction in a patient with generalized epilepsy (GE) after ANT DBS + a systematic review of ANT DBS for GE outcomes.

Thank you to my teammates and mentors for their collaboration here.
