Bugün yetişkin gibi davranmaya çalışan ama benim gibi hiç büyüyemeyen canım sevgilimle evlilik yıldönümümüz. Birlikte geçirdiğimiz yıllar için çok mutlu, deli dolu geçireceğimiz geleceğimiz için çok heyecanlıyım. 🥰

Hayatı kiminle paylaştığın gerçekten çok önemli. Eşimle birbirimizi destekleyince hayat daha güzel, akademi ise daha az yorucu oluyor. 😌

Here's a couple celebrating some recent accomplishments! @ezgisari had a paper accepted, got 2 travel awards, has a platform presentation coming up and got her 100th citation for her 8 papers 🎉🥳😊 and I matched at Duke Epilepsy. We wish everyone achieve what they long for. 🙏😇

New lab preprint! This one has been a long time coming. On the generative mechanisms underlying the cortical tracking of natural speech: a position paper. osf.io/preprints/osf/… A brief thread below…

Arguably the best event in Birmingham! 🎶

Gurur kaynağım, idolüm, sevgili eşim, epilepsi yandalı için Duke Üniversitesi'ne gidiyor. Göğsüm kabararak başarılarını takip ediyorum. 😌🧿

Happy news! I matched at the Duke Epilepsy program for my fellowship! Looking forward to working with amazing group of people. #epilepsy #fellowship @Duke_Neurology @AnphyLab @cogan

May is the Stroke Awareness Month and May 15 is World Thrombectomy Day. I am #AllHandsIn with @svinsociety this month to raise awareness for stroke survivors. Please join us. @NuroseKarim @elghanemmoh @almuftifawaz @NguyenThanhMD

6 kişi 2 saat boyunca ecel terleri döktüren sorularla sırayla sorguya çekti ama yeterliydik ve üstesinden geldik çk şkr. Doktora yeterlilik geçildi. 🥳

Happy #MatchDay2025! ⭐ 💚 We are thrilled to announce our new residency class of 2029! We can't wait to see the amazing impact you'll make in the world of neurology. 🧠 #uabmatchday2025 #itsamatch @uabheersink @MCG_AUG @bozok_t @VCOMAuburn @KMC_Mangalore

Pub alert! We reviewed the role of physical activity in older adults with epilepsy. Older adults with epilepsy benefit from PA in more unique ways than young PWE! We reviewed effects to include neuroinflammation at cellular level to cognition @uabneurores sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New video is live! How does the brain select which experiences to remember, and which to forget? Turns out, specific patterns of hippocampal activity, called sharp-wave ripples, play an important role of "memory tags" 🧠 youtu.be/ceFFEmkxTLg?si… The video is based on an amazing…

really excited to collaborate with Dr. Smith on this amazing project!

We are excited to introduce the panelists for our resident panel on 1/11! Dr. Joel Sullivan, Chief Resident at UAB. 🎙️Come listen to his advice & insight for interview season this Saturday 1/11 @ 8PM EST.

One of our own, Dr. Joel Sullivan @uabneurores, will join this session! @NMatch2025 #NeuroMatch2025
