Thrilled to have matched at Mass General Brigham for #Neurology residency! Excited to begin this journey and train alongside incredible mentors and colleagues! ⁦@BWHNeurology⁩ ⁦@harvardneuromds⁩ ⁦@WashUNeurology⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@washumedicine⁩ ⁦

So happy to see Neurology on the list for top matches!!

@Jjiyeon_lee @NatureAging Congrats!

I'm thrilled to share my 2nd story about REV-ERBs in @NatureAging! We reported NAD+ regulatory mechanism under the REV-REBalpha control in astrocyte via CD38 and it's impact on Tau pathology.

@jonykipnis @BWHNeurology @harvardneuromds @WashUNeurology @washumedicine Thanks so much Jony!!

@NimanshaJ @BWHNeurology @harvardneuromds @WashUNeurology @washumedicine Congrats! Lucky then to have you! I’m teaching an advanced class there (guest lecture) in the fall - maybe I will see you then… good luck 👍

Happy #MatchDay! BWH Neurology and @MGHNeurology are thrilled to announce our 2025 Matched Residents. We are excited to welcome the next generation of talent in medicine to #MGB. @harvardneuromds

I enjoyed sharing my printmaking artwork, 'Lattice of Life,' through the InOurWords storytelling event hosted by WashU Medicine. Thank you to everyone who organized such a fantastic and unique event. @washumedicine #medicine #neurology

📢 The findings behind Xenon therapy for AD are now published: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. The study explores Xenon’s effects in multiple AD mouse models, highlighting microglia modulation & its therapeutic potential. #AlzheimersResearch #Microglia #SciTransMed.

Have MULTIPLE questions about MULTIPLE sclerosis?   Having trouble seeing neuromyelitis optica?   In a fog about MOG?   Here’s the cheat sheet you NEED to distinguish the demyelinating diseases!   Demyelinating diseases predominantly involve the optic nerves, brain, & spine.    The three main chronic demyelinating diseases are Multiple sclerosis (most common), neuromyelitis optica (NMO), & myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody associated disease or MOGAD   Each has its own features in the optic nerve, brain, & spine.  Here’s how to remember them!   MS Optic nerve: MS only has 2 letters, so MS involvement of the optic nerve tends to be short segment Brain: Letter M makes the shape of the perivascular distribution of lesions along the ventricles (Dawson’s fingers) Letter S makes the shape of the subcortical U fiber involvement Spine: MS is only 2 letters, so lesions are usually less than 2 vertebral bodies in length   NMO Optic nerve: NMO is a longer abbreviation, three letters, so longer involvement NMO can stand for Near My Occiput. Occiput is posterior, so more posterior nerve involvement Brain: NMO can stand for Near My Ocean. What is your brain’s ocean? The ventricles. NMO lesions are all periventricular Spine: NMO is 3 letters, so lesions usually more than 3 vertebral bodies in length   MOGAD Optic Nerve: Remember MO’ GAD-olinium.  So things that cause more regions of enhancement.  MOGAD lesions are commonly bilateral & long segment & enhancement can extend perineural Brain: Remember LO’ GAD.  MOGAD typically involves the lower areas of the brain Spine: Remember MO’ PLAID. MOGAD can give a plaid-like H shape in the cord from predominantly gray matter involvement   Hopefully, this cheat sheet will help you remember how to distinguish the demyelinating diseases! It ain’t lyin’ about diseases of myelin!

@karchlab Thanks so much Celeste!!

@NimanshaJ Congratulations!!

My F30 NRSA grant received a NoA this month!! I thank my amazing advisors and mentors for this. Would not have been possible without them. #Latepost #grants #MDPhD #neurology

@jonykipnis Thanks Jony!

@NimanshaJ Congratulations!

@jonykipnis @WUSTLmstp @WashUNeurology @holtzman4 Thanks Jony!

@NimanshaJ @WUSTLmstp @WashUNeurology @holtzman4 Congratulations, Nimansha. Sorry I could not be there - was a crazy day after all my travels but I heard the defense was amazing. 👏👏👏

Officially defended my PhD successfully! Thank you for your mentorship Dr. Holtzman! On to the next steps to seeing patients in the hospital and finishing my MD degree! Thanks everyone in lab, family and friends for celebrating with me! @WUSTLmstp @WashUNeurology @holtzman4
