Fellow UW SMPH neuro people, whassup!

This is a great example of #paralleltranslation at WITNe, taking advantage of existing surgical procedures to supplement mechanistic insights into neuromodulation therapies from benchtop, cell culture/organoid, computational modeling, small animal, and large animal studies.

This is the first study I've led! 🦅🦅🦅
I couldn't have done this without my teachers (Wendell Lake, Laura Dent, Kip Ludwig, and Aaron Suminski) + students (Jordan Ranum) at WITNe and the University of Wisconsin Department of Neurological Surgery. 🙏

*TAPS is Transcutaneous Afferent Patterned Stimulation, low current peripheral nerves stimulation using a wrist watch. #neuroskyence

Wow 😰

I always wonder why CMV and Toxo have different calcification pattern? Do you think it has to do with their size, ie CMV is much smaller and can spread to/ through the csf?

I agree, thank you 👍

Interesting… looking at the bimodal organization of the vagal nerve (iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... ), it’s likely that the patient’s vocal cord paresis came from trauma/ dissections of the medial vagal fascicles that would give rise to the recurrent laryngeal branch?

Close-up of said 🪶‘s.
Are these ducks or mallards because patients have definitely called me out in the past for misidentifying them? 😅

Hi Monica,

I am a medical student who pursue research in neurosurgical care and neuroscience. Please add me to the science feed. Thank you in advance! :)

@vanshjain.bsky.social Bro should have gone to med school and taken 500 millions hrs of standardized testing so that they could teach about confounders
