Happy to announce my lab's work exploring the use of focused ultrasound for modulating brain function has just been published @Nature's Communications Biology! Congratulations to all @nymedcollege authors and those in Chao Zhou's lab at @WUSTL!

Congrats again to the winners of the @NobelPrize in Chemistry! One of the most epic achievements of their innovative #AlphaFold was solving the structure of the nuclear pore complex, which you can interact with here! https://t.co/T4W84chwq0

Following up on reporting by @ariabendix and @RandiRichTV in @NBCNews on Brett Favre's Parkinson's diagnosis, the condition is challenging to visualize but can be partly revealed using PET imaging to identify regions of dopamine synthesis. Here's an example (not Favre's data).

The latest version of AlphaFold models how proteins interact with other molecules — but DeepMind restricts access to the tool https://t.co/xlrmkb7f1K

R.F.K. Jr. says he had a worm in his brain. Based on his description, experts suspect neurocysticercosis, as @susannecraig recently reported in @nytimes. Here's what that actually looks like, both outside and inside the brain. (Note: MRI imagery is not that of R.F.K. Jr.)

It was a pleasure being hosted by @EndicottCollege to give a lecture on neuroscience to the honors class! Beautiful campus, and awesome students!

Not like I’d ever use chatGPT to help with reference letters, but if I did I would certainly never use “gumption” or “acumen” when writing about a human I actually know and respect.

That’s m’lab!

Partisan stuff aside, the real interesting thing in this article is the map of hearing loss. And indeed, noise from firearms is a nightmare for cochlear hair cells. It's our Veterans who know this best, hearing loss is the top service-related disability. https://t.co/O1vuHtbDpS

As reported by @CNN, cases of brain abscesses in children are inexplicably on a major rise. It's hard to appreciate the severity of this unless you see it. Examine in 3D a case of pediatric brain abscess: https://t.co/5zMx2P808M

@TweetTheTorah It’s true, the first part of scientific and medical innovation involves differentiating between different (sometimes gross) phenomena and conditions.

As reported by @KCStar and @CNN, #RalphYarl survived, but what can a "non-fatal" gunshot do to the head? As in this CT-scan (not Yarl's), bullets can leave fragments as well and consequences may not be immediate. Explore the scan yourself: https://t.co/kVGqnwuzxl @drsanjaygupta
