The Fields Medalist Maryam Mirzakhani died of cancer in 2017, just as she was advancing the study of impossible-seeming objects called hyperbolic surfaces. Last month, two mathematicians built on her unfinished work to prove a sweeping statement about these shapes. Joseph Howlett reports: https://t.co/BnxrkSISqg

Privileged to work alongside @HBSlab @Stanford_Neuro and witness years of meticulous research conducted around the globe, leading to a meaningful breakthrough for our patients!

Intrigued by how this observation transforms the current understanding in the field of Movement Disorders: FMD as a Prodromal Symptom of Parkinson's Disease
@AlbertoEspay @kailashbhatia @movedisorder

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

New view point from @kailashbhatia & colleagues reviews the evidence concerning the temporal relationship between functional movement disorder & #Parkinsons; They explore the possibility of FMD as a prodromal symptom of PD

The @movedisorder course opened my eyes wide, just like the Eyes on the Aspen trees! Couldn’t ask for a better way to delve into my fellowship @Stanford_Neuro @MichaelOkun @JankovicJoseph @MarkHallett007 @AlbertoEspay @DrSusanHFox @JenGoldmanMD

What is the most important examination maneuver for a movement disorders neurologist? It may shock you to learn there is not agreement on this point. The search for bradykinesia of course must be in the top #3, as @AlbertoEspay kicks us off today in @movedisorder Aspen course 2024 with a review of the 'unending search to understand the phenomenology' of human movement. Day #1 is #Parkinsons

Delighted to graduate from my neurology residency @KeckMedicineUSC @LAGeneralMed and honored to receive the Golden Hammer and the Teaching Award to conclude this chapter.

Libet’s demonstration that SMA activity precedes conscious decision making is thought to have put the nail in the coffin of dualism. R. Sjöberg argues that SMA resections show Libet’s findings to be irrelevant to the scientific discussion of free will. https://t.co/LhdRRoTO03

A few weeks to the end of my residency diagnosed a patient with CADASIL; important pearls: the diagnosis is not excluded by the apparent lack of a family history. Subtle neuropsychiatric symptoms such as apathy and executive dysfunction should raise suspicion

“If the imagination is to be stirred if the intellect is to work, assumptions should be questioned, presuppositions must be challenged. The whole thing must be constantly looked at, not by too many and too much perhaps!”

“If not examined and left fallow then societies become ossified, beliefs turn into dogma imagination is warped and intellect becomes sterile. Societies decay as a result of simply lying on some comfortable bed of unexamined dogma.”

@MichaelOkun @DBSThinkTank Interestingly, the peak frequency of beta in the OFF vs MEDS is slightly different! I wonder if there is benefit in breaking down the beta in smaller frequency ranges. The beta in the MEDS state looks bursty too. @neumann_wj
