Welcoming BCM QCB PhD student Minye Zhou to the lab! She earned her B.S. in Bioinformatics from UC San Diego and M.S. in Computational Biology & Quantitative Genetics from Harvard. Her research focuses on how the brain integrates multimodal inputs to support natural behavior.
Please welcome Marie Vallens, our new PhD student in QCB at BCM! Her BS in Physics (Biomedical) from Portland State, MS in Bioinformatics (Neuroinformatics) from JHU, and prior computational clinical neurotech experience inform her work in our lab on semantic encoding in the PFC.
New research, led by a team at @bcmhouston and the @TexasChildrens Gordon & Mary Cain Pediatric Neurology Research Foundation, finds that the human brain is capable of sophisticated language processing while in an unconscious state from general anesthesia: https://t.co/JVWsGjIO0f
#NEWS: @motifneuro, a brain-computer interface (BCI) company co-founded by @SameerShethMD, has received FDA approval for a first-in-human study to evaluate its Motif XCS System, offering hope for individuals living with treatment-resistant depression.

Congratulations to this outstanding team—our project on reward sensitivity through a cross-species circadian lens has been selected for funding. @NicoleProvenza@BCMNeurosurgery
For 7 consecutive years, Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center has ranked as a top hospital in the nation for #neurology & #neurosurgery, per @usnews.
Through our innovation, research & clinical excellence, we continue to advance the fields of neurological & neurosurgical care.
Great presentation today with neurosurgeon Jon Willie from @uthealthaustin at the @RiceNeuro Engineering Minds seminar, highlighting exciting work on amygdala neuromodulation for memory enhancement and PTSD.
#NEWS: #BCMNeurosurgery remains one of the most NIH-funded #neurosurgery programs in the nation, according to new Blue Ridge Institute rankings 🧠🔬
The achievement reflects the commitment of our researchers and their teams, who are at the forefront of neurosurgical research.
Fantastic work from Thomas Hamre and Sarah Soubra during their research year with us. We enjoyed celebrating their accomplishments with the lab group this week!
