Our new study in The Spine Journal raises some important questions about robotic spine surgery implementation: 🔴 58-minute average delays during complications 🔴 1 in 3 cases abandoned the robot mid-surgery
Rhiannon L. Cowan et al. unveil how single-pulse electrical stimulation impacts human brain cells: widespread suppression & distance-dependent responses. A foundational step for optimizing large-scale clinical neuromodulation. #brainstimulation brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dr. Samantha Garza. In honor of Sam's life, we invite you to donate in her memory to fund brain tumor research. Thank you to everyone who supported Sam throughout her battle. We love you forever, Sam. gofund.me/94b84c9b

🧠 Research Spotlight: Congrats to MD/PhD candidate János Barbero on defending his thesis: “Brain Networks Predict Placebo Super Responders and Map Treatment Effects in Parkinson’s Disease.” Groundbreaking work in PET/fMRI! . #MedTwitter #NeuroResearch
Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service…

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇
Strong showing this year at #AANS2025 in #Boston with the whole @NorthwellNsurg @LenoxNeurosurg team! Great to have the whole team together with some of our recent alumni! 🧠 #Neurosurgery #Legacy @DanielSciubba @mschulder @drdavidlanger @ZuckerSoM @AANSNeuro

WELCOME TO OUR NEW NEUROSURGERY RESIDENTS! Northwell Neurosurgery is SO excited to have you 🔥🧠 @JoshuaMcBriar @HDonaldson21 and Isabella Pecorari! @NorthwellNsurg @LenoxNeurosurg @ZuckerSoM @CNSResidents @mschulder @DanielSciubba #Match2025 #Neurosurgery #DREAMSCOMETRUE
Suthana et al. studied brain recordings from implanted electrodes in freely moving humans. They show that neural dynamics encoded actual and imagined routes similarly. @SuthanaLab @m_seeber nature.com/articles/s4156…
If a doctor is going to stimulate your brain, should they receive special training first? Congrats @shansiddiqi @Brain_Circuits and @NolanRyWilliams on this effort to make brain stimulation a certified clinical subspecialty: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
NIH is centralizing peer review of all applications for grants, cooperative agreements and research and development contracts within the agency’s @CSRpeerreview. This is expected to save NIH more than $65 million annually & make the review process more efficient.…
The @US_FDA has approved adaptive deep brain stimulation as a treatment for #Parkinsons. Over a decade of @NIH-funded research from @UCSF's Dr. Philip Starr & his colleagues into the brain activity correlating to the disease's symptoms led to this clinical advance. #studyBRAIN
