Morris Scantlebury, M.D.

The Incredible Hulk (1978) Opening titles. youtu.be/z9MysTXM_P4?si… via @YouTube. In 1978 as a little Black boy growing up in Montreal I discovered there was something known as a physician scientist and my fate was sealed. A true story.😊😊😊😊

Research like theirs explores the mechanisms behind Fragile X and new treatment options and helps find ways to better support and care for individuals and families affected by this condition.

Back at work after an all nighter at the airport due to delays and finally a cancellation—-rebooked and glad to be home. Tired but energized as Aranyo presents his exciting updates on his research into the mechanisms of #febrileseizures to me in my office😊😊😊😊

After a hard days work, glad to spend a little time at the waterfalls in Dominica- courtesy, Dr. Rachel Andrew.

Phew!!! Busy day at the clinic in Dominica. They’re all set up for cloud based #EEG monitoring. 6 routine and 1 AMB EEG done today with 4 consults and one lecture at the hospital- lot’s of questions as I raise awareness about #infantilespasms

Dr Wee Yong, PhD, along with co-author Dr Fu-Dong Shi, MD, PhD, have published a review in Science which explores the role neuroinflammation plays across a range of neurologic disorders, including MS. Read the review here. bit.ly/46c17W2

Looks like I have to step aside as my wife Rhonda Richardson cleaned up on the awards last night @ChildsPlayYYC . Congratulations Rhonda!!!

💡Accurate identification of mimic automatisms can guide clinicians in localizing brain areas involved in seizure onset. Kokkinos et al. provide a great overview! 🔗doi.org/10.1002/epd2.7… @giocastellucci @joanajribeiro @SheikhISMD @SBeniczky @AnphyLab @AlinaIvaniuk

@HotchkissBrain @UofCr4kids @UCalgaryMed @DCNSNeuro Wow!!!!

Neuroscience PhD student Anamika Choudhary shares how research, storytelling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shape her mission to make epilepsy more understood. #FundamentalDiscoveryWeek #EpilepsyAwareness @UofCr4kids @Scantlebury_Lab @UCalgaryMed @DCNSNeuro

Today, the Speaker honoured all the continuing MLAs from 2015. I’m incredibly honoured to continue to serve my constituents alongside my colleagues, old & new. Thank you to all of them for their hard work & support as we continue in our belief that better is possible. #ableg

Ten years ago today, I had the honour of being elected as the MLA for Edmonton-Centre. Just a fresh-faced “kid” in his early 40s, simultaneously stunned & incredibly excited to be part of a powerful shift in Alberta politics - the election of our first NDP government. #ableg

I remember the first day we sat in the chamber with Speaker Gene Zwozdesky, learning the rules of the Assembly, amazed that I actually had a seat there & the privilege & responsibility to speak on behalf of the Albertans who’d elected me. (That was my 1st bow tie.) #ableg

🧠 Study by Nagai et al. highlights cognitive effects of CAR-T in B-ALL patients. Of 10 cases, 3 developed ICANS. 2 AYA patients had severe memory & emotional issues—despite low encephalopathy scores. All recovered in 1 month, but effects were profound. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New study published in Neurology shows transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) plus speech therapy can significantly improve speech in people with post-stroke aphasia, even years after stroke. Read more: ucalgary.ca/news/study-rev… #StrokeRecovery #TMS

@Luisaatunes @BostonChildrens @harvardmed Hey Luisa, The pleasure was all mine. Keep pressing on with all your hard work and reach out to me anytime.

@Scantlebury_Lab @BostonChildrens @harvardmed It was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet you, Dr. Morris! Safe travels!

I had a wonderful time, giving Epilepsy Grand Rounds at @BostonChildrens @harvardmed discussing our work on the mechanism of #febrileseizures and the #ketogenicdiet in #infantilespasms. I’m thankful to Prof Tobias Loddenkemper and the entire epilepsy team for their hospitality!

The Winter 2025 issue of CNS Connections is here! It opens with a compelling Letter from the President reflecting on the future of child neurology—and continues with features on integrative medicine, career growth, and more. tinyurl.com/mr3y645m #MembershipRequired
