Why does your brain feel foggy after a bad night’s sleep? 🧠

It’s not just ‘tiredness.’ Poor sleep disrupts your glymphatic system—the brain’s waste clearance pathway. During deep sleep, cerebrospinal fluid flushes out beta-amyloid and tau proteins and other metabolic by products.

3/ Bonus: Morning sunlight within 30-60 min of waking anchors your circadian rhythm → deeper sleep later.
Your brain’s health is built in the bedroom.

You will never know how much work this reel took!!

I think if I had known how hard it was when I started, I wouldn’t have started at all 😂

Scrolling through a brain MRI is like driving down the road. There are signposts & check marks along the way.

These are some of the anatomic landmarks I check as I scroll through a brain MRI

These help you to orient yourself to the anatomy and help you to remember to look for pathology in small places.

Of course, these are not all the landmarks—it’s just a start.

I want to show more signposts that I stop by when reading a brain MRI—so follow along—I think all the extra work will be worth it!!

Every physician caring for patients with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) should read this recent excellent review.

There are two important points that I believe are not emphasized enough in this paper:

1. We have shifted away from classifying patients as AIDP, AMSAN, or AMAM. This classification depended solely on nerve conduction studies, which are not widely available in hospital settings. Additionally, the biology of GBS is much more complex than previously understood, so the dichotomy axonal or demyelinating does not work well here. Moving forward, we should refer to all these conditions as GBS and classify the variants as shown in the figure and table below.
