Sleep, listen, learn. Reactivating memories with sound during sleep triggers electrical activity deep in the brain. Memory improves. New study led by @finitejess and @kap101. #neurology

Sleeping in a noisy room can be good / New paper out today after many years of effort by many people led by Jessica Creery @finitejess @ResearchNU and @UChicago - on intracranial responses in the hippocampus when memories are modified during sleep https://t.co/72xj4kcr3Q

Huge win!! Another great step toward being able to prescribe music therapy for my patients and not worry about insurance coverage.

Karisa's story: she really is a brave soul, and it paid off.
When #epilepsy medicines aren't enough, and resection isn't a good solution, it's great to have the @Neuropace RNS.

We enjoyed this combined approach too! Here's to more of this!

Cognitive decline even with mild #COVID19 could be a real thing. Longer follow up needed to see if it's reversible. #neurology #neurotwitter #neuroUCMC #UChicagoMed https://t.co/LjWJ59fV1S

#COVID + #sicklecelldisease is a rough combination. New report that together they likely increase seizure risk and (reversible) brain injury. @UCdementiadoc @sarastark2021 @neuroucmc #neurotwitter https://t.co/SmB5weUGR9

Also forgot to mention it's open to the public and free to join!

Congratulations, Dr. Rubin! Dr. Rubin is the Joseph B. Kirsner Professor of Medicine and a Pritzker alumnus.

[Editorial] Issa and Tao: "If BETS, as defined by Wennberg et al. (2020), represent normal hippocampal activity associated with sleep-dependent learning, it could lead to a new era in the study of how memories are formed."

Can’t believe that one of the most quintessential experiences of med school is now over, but I am so thankful to @UChiPritzker for making this possible. Didn’t think I’d be saying this but man I’ll miss anatomy 😭 #BayBbestbay
