The Brain Lesion & Neuromodulation Lab just posted our first preprint on a topic near and dear to my heart: the influence of domain-general cognition on lesion-deficit mapping of other cognitive domains. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #Neuroscience #Neuropsychology

We're recruiting! Iowa's Carver College of Medicine Department of Neurology is looking for a clinical neuropsychologist to join our team in the historic Benton Neuropsychology Clinic. If you're on the market, apply via the link below: jobs.uiowa.edu/faculty/view/7… Please share!

Grateful for the opportunity to share our work at the AAN meeting—thankful for the support, collaboration, and chance to keep learning. @AANmember #AAN2026 #PediatricNeurology #NeurologyProud #BrainHealthForAll

This role is great for anyone looking to shape the future of neuropsychology through teaching and clinical service, and anyone with any level of interest in helping out with or leading research! neurology.medicine.uiowa.edu/about/division…

Any questions about the position or what it's like to live, work, and play in Iowa City? Don't hesitate to ask me! Iowa City is routinely highly ranked on lists of best places to live (e.g., #31 here: livability.com/ia/iowa-city/). More on IC living here: thinkiowacity.com

White matter matters.

Polysynaptic routes in the WHITE MATTER CONNECTOME reveal neuroanatomical basis for TMS therapy Shorter anatomical routes between stimulation site & deep brain target predict superior response A step fwd for Network Neuroscience! Out now: @NatureNeuro rdcu.be/fdl8x

Our view on the LNM critique is out in @NatureNeuro rdcu.be/faKgy In our view the critique exposes limitations in statistical inference for LNM maps rather than LNM methodology Null models could address some of the important concerns, strengthening LNM’s value 1/9

This postdoc position is supported by our department of neurosurgery here at the University of Iowa, and mentorship will involve a team of scientists as suited to the candidate's interests. Please share!

Experience with resting state fMRI, diffusion MRI, lesion analysis, and electrophysiology (iEEG) are all valued.

My lab is officially recruiting a postdoc: jobs.uiowa.edu/postdoc/view/4…

🧠 The DEN Lab @UIowa is hiring a Lab Coordinator. Come do meaningful developmental cog neuro research with us in Iowa City, a vibrant college town with rich intellectual and cultural life! jobs.uiowa.edu/research/view/…

I'm hopeful that this work will ultimately lead to improvements in pre-surgical mapping of cognition to brain networks, and better cognitive outcomes after neurosurgery for patients with epilepsy.

With it, our team at the University of Iowa will seek to understand the cognitive and neurophysiological impacts of a new method of intracranial electrical stimulation.

I'm incredibly honored to share that I have been selected to receive one of the American Brain Foundation's Next Generation Research Grants, specifically the award in epilepsy!

Thanks @INSneuro for the conference! I got to present my lab's electrical stimulation mapping work, listen to inspiring talks (big fan of the "main thing" talk/Dr. Bauer's ideas on neural mechanisms of behavior!), introduce my Iowa and Florida friends, & meet a new canine friend!

A huge shout out to the first full-time RA for the BLNL, Lara Sozer, and to the entire Iowa Lesion Registry team, including Aaron Boes, Dan Tranel, and their labs. Hopefully this puts the BLNL off to a good start!
