Another year of doing what I love. Thanks for the support, everyone 🧠✍🏻 #neuroscience #illustration petermlawrence.com

The three illustrative cases show: 1) Periventricular lesion location can present w/ intraventricular hemorrhage 2) Transcingulate approach can go between variable arterial corridors (applying some concepts discussed in #7Cavernomas) @PeterMLawrence1

Head & neck anatomy 🧠 #neurotwitter

#Throwback: still one of my favorite books—Wendell J. S. Krieg’s “Human Brain in Diachrome” has unique, stunning illustrations printed on clear slide overlays that depict neuroanatomy, tracts, and nuclei. I haven’t been able to find more copies online. If anyone knows where you can get them, please let DM me. Dr. Wendell Krieg (1906–1997) was an American neuroanatomist, educator, and scientific illustrator whose work helped bridge the traditions of classical neuroanatomy and modern neuroscience. Trained at the University of Wisconsin and later a professor of anatomy at Northwestern University Medical School, Krieg devoted much of his career to studying and teaching the structural organization of the brain. A skilled draftsman, he produced clear schematic illustrations of neural pathways and cortical connections that became widely used in medical education. In 1947 he founded the Cajal Club, an international society dedicated to honoring the legacy of Santiago Ramón y Cajal and advancing the study of the nervous system. Through his research, teaching, and visualizations of brain circuitry, Krieg helped preserve the intellectual lineage of Cajal’s neuron doctrine while shaping mid-twentieth-century approaches to functional neuroanatomy. #medicalillustration

Work in progress. What do you see? #neurosurgery #medicalillustration 🧠✍️

Proud to share our lab’s new translational pilot study from @PennNSG, now published as the cover article in Neurosurgical Focus @TheJNS . We leverage intra-procedural physiologic and imaging data during venous stenting to begin characterizing real-time arterial flow changes .

All of my "Seven Series" books have a metaphor. Cartography is the metaphor for #SevenCavernomas. This article in Neurosurgery sums it up...

Check out this free article written by Dr. @mtlawton titled, "Cartography and the Territory Ahead" published this month in @NeurosurgeryCNS #medicalillustration #neuroscience #HappyNewYear

@DrCxNeurologica Thanks so much!

@PeterMLawrence1 This is well-deserved

Another year of learning, drawing, and visualizing neuroscience. 2025 was incredible. I'm very fortunate for the opportunities that came my way… Thanks to those who generously invited me to present, teach, or display work. I truly appreciate everyone's support, and can't wait to see what next year brings! #best9 #artvsartist #neurosceince

@SurgErgonomics @AlvisMD @GeetaLalMD @SocSurgErgo @HFES @APTA_info @AOTAInc @TomVargheseJr @TheAAES Good information, but the visuals suffer for AI inaccuracies.

Forward head posture is common in the OR—but it doesn’t just strain the neck. It triggers spinal compensation → upper & lower crossed syndromes → neck, shoulder & back pain. This is a work-design issue, not “bad posture.” #SurgicalErgonomics #SurgeonHealth

Some finished illustrations depicting intramedullary AVM types from a new proposed classification system by Dr. @mtlawton of @barrowneuro. My fellow medical illustrator Miranda Stano assisted with the production of these. #neurosurgery #research

New in the Nov 3rd Issue at @ElsevierConnect: Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) with percutaneous posterior fixation for spondy reduction offers indirect decompression, spinal stabilization, and alignment restoration.

Finally got to meet @PeterMLawrence1 !! Three years after my observership. But now, working together. Thank you Peter!

Work in progress on this collaborative illustration with Miranda Stano, fellow @BarrowNeuro medical illustrator. We've been working on illustrating these figures for @mtlawton 's new intramedullary AVM classification. #medtwitter #Neurosurgeon #wip

@ChavezRamzes @mtlawton Thanks, Dr. @ChavezRamzes ! 🎨🧠

@PeterMLawrence1 @mtlawton Amazing images! incredible

The Seven Cavernomas book is now available for preorder! Link in bio. Order now and get it in time for Christmas 📚🎄@mtlawton
