A heartwarming British Society of Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery 2024 meeting. The legendary Prof Tipu Aziz receives the BSSFN’s inaugural Tipu Z Aziz medal for lifetime achievement and celebrates with his past trainees. #DBS @The_SBNS @e1v1m1 @stimbrains

Thank goodness people are waking up to the fact that there is a crisis for clinical research in the UK @FT High on the list are the bureaucratic processes that have become such an obstacle to getting things done

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @Brain1878 If you agree with the sentiments please RT. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/issue/14…

1/Nothing strikes fear into a radiologist's heart like the question,“Is it safe to do an MRI on this pt w/an implanted device?” Do questions about pacemakers & MRIs suddenly send your heart racing? Never fear again! Here’s a thread on how to navigate implanted devices & MRI!

This time three years ago I was coming around in ICU in the London Clinic under the superb care of @eacp who gave me with dbs brain surgery a new lease of life. I’ll be forever grateful

£91,317 a year for an 'Assistant Director of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion' in the NHS. This amount of money, for this type of job, is honestly outrageous. Every penny spent on these roles, and the vast associated cost, should be directed into pockets of frontline staff.

They say three’s a crowd! Anatomy at the 3rd ventricle is crowded by important structures! How can YOU remember anatomy in this region? 3rd ventricle looks like a hedgehog. And that hedgehog can keep you from hedging about anatomy here! Here's how it can help you remember: Here are the important structure you need to know & how the hedgehog can help keep them straight: ➡️Anterior commissure is between the eyes (anterior = eyes) ➡️Posterior commissure is between the legs (posterior = legs) ➡️Hedgehog’s snout open onto the hypothalamus (snout = mouth & hypothalamus controls eating!) ➡️Mamillary bodies are near where the mammary glands would be in the hedgehog ➡️Lamina terminalis is along the nose—and where does your face TERMINATE? At the nose Now you know the hedgehog of the third ventricle & how to remember anatomy in this region. It’s as easy as one, two, three!

In this classic model on basal ganglia in PD, lack of dopamine via neuronal cell loss in the SNc leads to an excess of activity in the STN. This overstimulates the GPi/SNr and leads to a reduction of cortical neuronal activation required for movement. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Rodeo stars find purpose in navigating primal forces. And none of them ever went harder than J.B. Mauney. But after one disastrous event in Idaho last year, Mauney had a tough decision to face: keep riding bulls while risking his life or retire from the sport he loved. wapo.st/44fIbmj

My spinal injury inspires my art. What inspires you? A lot of my anatomical paintings are based on my love for Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical drawings from over 500 years ago! Can you spot my neck, spine and skull?
DJ@daveyjose

Glad I had opportunity to share my (on-going) series The Cure with national audience @BBCTwo, exploring spinal injury, crossing into access/disability themes, inspired by my love of Old Masters, X-rays, using traditional oils & virtual reality Clip 🎦👉 bit.ly/31XOw70

The importance of this paper cannot be overstated – variance goes down if surgeons see more details. Unique cohort of cases operated following 3T/7T imaging: 7T cases do better! See lower variance in panel B. Always dreamed of achieving that w/ @leaddbs, Erik now did so w/ 7T!
Erik Middlebrooks, MD@EMiddlebrooksMD

First study exploring the impact of 7T vs 3T MRI on DBS outcomes for tremor: Our study shows 7T offers superior precision, improving tremor reduction & requiring lower stimulation current! @TheJNS @MayoRadiology #MayoClinicFlorida 🧵 thejns.org/view/journals/…

Why small mindedness is having big consequences @Brain1878 I live under its shadow. I suspect most of you do too. It is the great mountain of small things. The higher it gets, the bigger the shadow it casts: a malignant darkness that pervades our lives. academic.oup.com/brain/article/…

@MasudHusain @wi_john @charlot_summers @acmedsci Such pseudowork has enjoyed a metaphorical life on anabolic steroids since it got into medical schools around 2003 & then spread/proliferated to all corners of the NHS Impossible to imagine a life without statutory/mandatory training or revalidation How did we do without it?

1/Correlate clinically! It’s harder than you think in THALAMUS—where its size is small & but the clinical symptoms are large. Here’s a thread to help you remember the main thalamic syndromes & their locations!
