Brett Youngerman, MD

Congrats to @YoungermanMD on an NIH UG3–UH3 grant to advance a fully implantable, wireless neural interface for epilepsy monitoring. Led with Drs. Ken Shepard, Catherine Schevon & @kamptoneurotech this work could transform seizure mapping and care. lnkd.in/gdqd-fkD

Our partners at @CUSEAS developed a single-chip, paper-thin implant enabling high-bandwidth, wireless comms with the brain, expanding what’s possible for epilepsy, paralysis, vision loss, & stroke. @nyphospital @Stanford @AToliasLab @YoungermanMD 🔗 tinyurl.com/2kwyft7z

Brain surgery through the nose. No incision required. Endonasal endoscopic surgery allows neurosurgeons to reach certain tumors through the nasal passages. The benefit? 👃🏼 Reduced pain 👃🏽 Minimal or no scarring 👃🏿 Faster recovery Learn more: bit.ly/4rsAZi3

American Epilepsy Society 2025 Annual Meeting. Always great to catch up with colleagues and exchange the latest research and practices in #epilepsy and #epilepsysurgery. #aes2025 @ColumbiaNeuro @ColumbiaMed

How can a silicon chip open pathways to treating neurological conditions like stroke, aphasia, and certain types of blindness? Watch the video to hear from the researchers behind the new technology. Watch the full video: youtube.com/watch?v=Cp8kVc…

A new paper-thin chip stands to open new possibilities for treating neurological conditions such as epilepsy, spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, and blindness. bit.ly/48KOLnC @NatureElectron @bioee_columbia @columbiabme @EE_ColumbiaSEAS @nyphospital @ColumbiaMed

It was a true honor to be back in Alumni Auditorium to give Columbia Neurology Grand Rounds. Thank you to my colleagues, collaborators, and friends in the preeminent Department of Neurology for the invitation and thoughtful discussion. @columbianeurons @ColumbiaNeuro

What a privilege to join The 2nd International Epilepsy Surgery Society Congress in Beijing. @columbianeurosurgery @columbiamed @nyphospital #epilepsy #epilepsyawareness

Another great Brainwaves Columbia Neurosurgery Practice Update. Hope to see you next year!

Congratulations to the team on the publication of an innovative and efficient system for high precision robotic stereotactic procedures for #epilepsy #parkinsonsdisease and #braintumors. @ColumbiaNeuro @ColumbiaMed

A beautiful day at the Annual Walk to End Epilepsy in NYC. @EFMNY @EpilepsyFdn @ColumbiaNeuro @ColumbiaMed

It was a privilege to attend the Neurosurgical Society of America meeting. Our work developing a next-generation brain computer interface for #epilepsy and #spinalcordinjury was recognized with the award for best abstract. Thanks @guymckhann1 for the invitation. @ColumbiaNeuro

The CAMERA research team traveled to MIT for the first meeting of the NIH Brain Behavior Quantification and Synchronization Consortium. @ColumbiaNeuro @ColumbiaMed

Still energized from #Brainwaves2025! 🧠 Thanks to our speakers, attendees & sponsors for an incredible two days in NYC—covering spine, glioblastoma, epilepsy, endovascular, AI & robotics. See highlights + full recap: bit.ly/47nKjLR 📍See you at Brainwaves 2026!

Day 2 of #Brainwaves2025 closed with inspiring talks on oncology, glioblastoma, functional neurosurgery, pediatrics, endovascular care & more. Thanks to all who made this event an academic & collaborative success. Until next time, keep pushing neurosurgery forward.

Day 1 of #Brainwaves2025 kicked off in NYC & brought together neurosurgeons, neurologists, & trainees from across the country. Thank you to all our Day 1 speakers and attendees for launching Brainwaves with energy, expertise, and community. 📍NYC, we’re just getting started.

Columbia Neurosurgery had a strong presence at the Neurosurgical Society of America Annual Meeting in Punta Mita, Mexico. Highlights: @BrainDocMcKhann as President, Dr. Don Quest receiving the Medal for Outstanding Service, and @YoungermanMD winning Best Abstract.

Please join us in congratulating @YoungermanMD on being named on the #SuperDoctors2025 list! 🏆 This honor recognizes his exceptional clinical expertise, dedication to patient care, & peer recognition. Proud to see his contributions to neurosurgery celebrated nationally!

In a study of 59,000 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) fewer than 10% received the comprehensive evaluation needed for specialized treatment. @YoungermanMD highlights the need for more access, especially outside academic centers. Read: bit.ly/3IzrmMs

We’re proud to announce six Columbia Neurosurgery faculty members named Avant-garde Health Research All-Stars 2025! Congrats to: Dr. Jeffrey Bruce @andrewchanMD @DeanChouMD @BrainDocMcKhann Dr. Raymond Sekula @YoungermanMD Learn more: bit.ly/3TO1Q8p
