Published in @iScience_CP! We show how inhibitory delay loops, rebound currents, and circuit timing help the #brain link sensory events across hundreds of milliseconds into stimulus-specific responses.

Two #NCNG lab projects from @AUB_Lebanon at #SfN2025:
🔥 Temperature-driven shifts in neuronal #excitability.
🎶 How #auditory neurons integrate information over extended timescales.
Proud of my students’ incredible work! @SfNtweets @MSFEA_AUB #Neuroscience #SfN25

[Arij Daou @DaouArij]

🧠✨ New paper out! We built an #AI system to detect #Alzheimers disease from #MRI scans - accurate, fast, and transparent.

✅ 99% accuracy
✅ XRAI shows where the brain changes are
✅ Web app: results in <20 sec

The brain’s magic lies in weaving the brief into the beautiful. Led by my PhD student Ms. Zeina Merabi, we explored how auditory neurons integrate sequential stimuli across extended timescales. @MSFEA_AUB @about_songbird @AUB_Lebanon

[Arij Daou @DaouArij]

Led by my research assistant at @Stanford, we explored how changes in temperature affect the way neurons fire and communicate, and uncovered some fascinating mathematical patterns that help explain how brain cells respond to stress. @MSFEA_AUB

Check out the two amazing speech BCI studies, in patients that are not able to speak anymore, published in @Nature today:
https://t.co/6JeqeRGGtC
https://t.co/Rfg2UiIfFM
These studies really push the state of the art and bring clear benefit to patients. What an exciting time!

[Arij Daou @DaouArij]

I am filled with utter shock and sadness as my UChicago colleague, friend, inspiring young scientist and good human being, @slimanjbensmaia , passed away today. This is a big loss for his family, friends and the field of neuroscience. My love and thoughts go to his family. 💔

[Arij Daou @DaouArij]

It’s a wrap! My PhD students did a great job presenting their work to the community! It’s been a busy week of great science and reconnecting with colleagues and friends! Thanks @SfNtweets for a great conference! 🧠@MSFEA_AUB
