And congratulations to @DanyAbouIssaMD for matching @BCMPsychRes!

Congratulations to these med students who did a research year in our BCM Neuromodulation group and matched today! Very proud of all of you!! Wishing you great success in your training! @G_Reyes00, @Anth_Allam, @zain_naqvi2, Holden Bentley, @kasramansourian, @Capy_MD #MatchDay

The results are in! ✉️ Please join us in welcoming #BCMNeurosurgery's newest residents: •Sarah Hamimi (@PennMedicine) •Matthew Nguyen (@MedicineUVA) •Gabriel Reyes (@bcmhouston) •Arya Shetty (@McGovernMed) #Match2026 | #MatchBCM | #NeurosurgeryResidency | #Neurosurgery

Congratulations to this outstanding team—our project on reward sensitivity through a cross-species circadian lens has been selected for funding. @NicoleProvenza @BCMNeurosurgery

Excited to share our latest work in Operative Neurosurgery on using a combination procedure of open resection and RNS for epilepsy. journals.lww.com/onsonline/full… @G_Reyes00 @ngiridh @BShofty @katkabotyanski @Ethan_Devara @zain_naqvi2 @Tommy_Liu_ @NeuroMaheshwari @BCMNeurosurgery

For 7 consecutive years, Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center has ranked as a top hospital in the nation for #neurology & #neurosurgery, per @usnews. Through our innovation, research & clinical excellence, we continue to advance the fields of neurological & neurosurgical care.

Great presentation today with neurosurgeon Jon Willie from @uthealthaustin at the @RiceNeuro Engineering Minds seminar, highlighting exciting work on amygdala neuromodulation for memory enhancement and PTSD.

What a pleasure to welcome Flip Sabes @PhilipSabes to BCM last week for a fascinating look at next-gen neuromodulation and the interface of academia and neurotech! @bcm_neurosci @BCMNeurosurgery @NicoleProvenza

#NEWS: #BCMNeurosurgery remains one of the most NIH-funded #neurosurgery programs in the nation, according to new Blue Ridge Institute rankings 🧠🔬 The achievement reflects the commitment of our researchers and their teams, who are at the forefront of neurosurgical research.

Fantastic work from Thomas Hamre and Sarah Soubra during their research year with us. We enjoyed celebrating their accomplishments with the lab group this week!

📆 Join us for a special #WorldSpineDay webinar on Thursday, Oct. 16 at 12pm CST 📆 @bcmhouston and #BCMNeurosurgery spine expert Dr. Cyrus King discusses managing back and neck pain and prepping for your visit at the #BCMSpineCenter. Register: tinyurl.com/3z2nmy57 💻

@SameerShethMD @neurojosh 7/7 Waves in the anterior insula travelled from the anterior towards the posterior insula and got suppressed during successful, compared to, unsuccessful memory encoding, again suggesting heterogeneous dynamics in the insula to initiate efficient dynamic switching and control.

@SameerShethMD @neurojosh 6/7 Wave strength in the anterior insula was suppressed compared to the posterior insula, suggesting that the anterior insula is a spatially heterogeneous brain area ideally suited for initiating dynamic switching and exerting control over the DMN and FPN.

@SameerShethMD @neurojosh 5/7 At the group level, wave strength increased for successful, compared to, unsuccessful memory encoding in the beta band. The reverse was true in the theta band.

@SameerShethMD @neurojosh 4/7 Insular waves also modulate memory performance. For example, a clockwise spiral during memory encoding success, and a counter-clockwise spiral during memory encoding failure. Source waves during successful memory retrieval, and sinks during unsuccessful memory retrieval.

@SameerShethMD @neurojosh 3/7 Deep learning can decode memory behavior at the single-trial level from these insular waves.

@SameerShethMD @neurojosh 2/7 We combined iEEG signals across multiple depth probes by using a spatially localized clustering algorithm. We found complex, heterogeneous spatial patterns of insular waves, including spirals, that correlated with behavior, by changing their direction and strength.

New preprint on the role of insular traveling waves in memory and behavior, using depth recordings from neurosurgical patients, with Chengyuan Wu, @SameerShethMD, and @neurojosh. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very proud of our group's newest faculty member @NicoleProvenza for her fantastic score that enabled this award despite the recent funding challenges. This work will fuel translational science to help many people suffering with OCD and depression. Congratulations!!

@CRodriguezMDPhD @NicoleProvenza @BCMFromtheLabs @JHUAPL Praise from Cesar! We are admirers of yours!

@NicoleProvenza @SameerShethMD @BCMFromtheLabs @JHUAPL Congratulations @NicoleProvenza and @SameerShethMD I’m a big fan of both of you!!

I’m very excited to share that I got the NOA for my first R01 to study approach-avoidance behaviors after DBS for OCD! 🧠⚡️We have an awesome team: @SameerShethMD, Wayne Goodman, Eric Storch, and Ben Hayden at BCM, and Han Yi at JHU APL. @BCMFromtheLabs @JHUAPL
