1/ We discovered something totally unexpected about the neural structure of consciousness that overturns decades of thinking on its biological basis and brings us significantly closer to the recipe for generating conscious awareness.

Congratulations to our chief residents @Belinda_Shao and @AbdulrazeqHael on completing their neurosurgery residency @BrownNSGY! Both are outstanding surgeons, thoughtful clinicians, innovative researchers, and extraordinary leaders. We wish them the very best in their next steps!
Today, #BrownU recognizes and celebrates #Juneteenth. This day provides an opportunity to reflect on the hard-earned progress achieved in the ongoing fight for equality while acknowledging the efforts to dismantle racism and injustice that still lie ahead.
We were honored to host the Providence Tartan Army at Hasbro Children's yesterday to receive an incredibly generous donation to helping our youngest patients. Throughout their time in Providence and New England, our Scottish guests have brought joy, warmth, generosity, and perhaps a few traffic cones wherever they have gone. Thank you, Providence Tartan Army and supporters!!
Honored to visit UC Davis. It was a privilege to discuss skull base neurosurgery with such talented and accomplished residents and faculty. Connections like these keep me energized about where skull base surgery is headed.

Dr. Brian Nahed was elected to serve as President of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons / Congress of Neurological Surgeons Joint Section on Tumors. This national society is the largest group of brain tumor surgeons worldwide advancing the care of brain tumor patients through clinical and scientific innovation. Congratulations, Dr. Nahed on this incredible honor!
Nothing like Spanish Tapas and Paella to celebrate our fellows graduation
Congratulations and best wishes to extraordinary skull base clinical fellows - Collin Liu and Jonathan Lamano - and outstanding NeuroTraIn research fellows:
Byron Hontiveros (Phillipines)
Maohua Ding (China)
Tatsuo Uchida (Japan)
Hongwei Yu (China)
We expect great things from you all !!
A great privilege to learn from @mtlawton@BarrowNeuro during his visit to @BrownNSGY@BrownMedicine@BrownUnivHealth today. His technical mastery, elegant classification/treatment frameworks, illuminating metaphors, & profound insights into brain function were truly inspiring.
It’s official! We are thrilled to welcome our incoming Neurosurgery PGY-1 Residents for the 2026 Match!
Please join us in celebrating Dr. Danielle Miyagishima and Dr. Carl Porto as they begin their seven-year journey with the Brown University neurosurgery residency program.
Dr. Krisztina Moldovan reminds us all that recovery, especially from a stroke, can take time. Physical and occupational therapy can help stroke patients recover their mobility and independence. Learn more on our website: https://t.co/SjjGHAR5rr
Privilege to help train the next generation of neurosurgeons at our regional @SNS_Neurosurg neurosurgery intern boot camp in Boston. Thank you organizers, faculty, interns, & sponsors - was a phenomenal event! Especially excited for our interns @BrownNSGY@BrownUnivHealth!
Our residents and APPs enjoyed a great learning experience with our faculty at the mobile dissection lab provided by @StrykerNS. Great thanks to Drs @CKLeeMD and @AtharNMalik for organizing this lab where we we got to practice various skullbase approaches
Excited to report our study in @NEJM on the discovery of deletions in a long noncoding RNA gene 🧬 (𝘊𝘏𝘈𝘚𝘌𝘙𝘙) as the cause of a newly defined human neurodevelopmental disorder 🧠. 🧵1/10 https://t.co/a0V99Xqjaw
Carotid injury during transsphenoidal surgery is a dreaded event for neurosurgeons. Preoperative knowledge of the anatomy, essential intraopertive tools (Doppler) and a methodical, deliberate action plan by the surgical team is necessary to avoid and mitigate this morbid surgical complication. Thanks to @MYOSpineMD@baxter_intl and @StrykerNS for allowing us to set up a successful and realistic arterial injury simulation for our amazing residents at @UCINeurosurgery. Skull base surgery remains the ultimate team sport and in a time of crisis, your team must come together 🫶🏽
The surgical corridor gained by extended transcavernous posterior clinoidectomy in EES - by Yuanzhi “Julius” Xu and @drjfm_stanford. Privileged to have learned from them @StanfordNsurg and apply to our patients’ care @BrownNSGY
Great neurosurgery department faculty retreat today @BrownNSGY@BrownMedicine@RIHospital, learning about our incredible clinical 🏥, research 🔬, & educational 📖 programs spanning all aspects of neurosurgery, and exploring opportunities to do even more together going forward!
