š§ 1/ Have you ever felt like you're in a surreal world where sizes and scales are all warped? No, it's not a fantasyāit's a real medical condition! And our latest research dives into this mind-bending phenomenon called Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) #Neuroscience #AIWS

āMapping the neuroanatomy of dystonia using causal brain lesionsā ā now out as a preprint! medrxiv.org/content/10.64898ā¦ Huge thank you to @JJoutsa @foxmdphd!
We map the brain networks for the different types of dystonia, showing significant differences, somatotopy...and much more!!

Do you see one version of this post or two? To see one screen your two eyes must move together in a coordinated way. Max Friedrich @Brain_Circuits studied lesions in monkeys and human patients to find the brain circuit responsible. Now out in @Brain1878

Friedrich et al. identify a midbrain circuit linked to vergence dysfunction in humans and monkeys, providing insights into double vision in neurological disorders. tinyurl.com/4p2yb3ez

Hyposkilliacs defend their position by blaming the inaccuracy of physical signs when the true problem is that they have not bothered to master the physical examination

Our lab has spent the last few years developing a fully automated tool for predicting personalized outcomes from stroke that incorporates lesion location.
Our hope is that it bridges lesion research and clinical neurology.

The terms conjugate gaze palsy/deviation/preference are used interchangeably for Prevost's sign which can localize an acute non-irritative frontal eye field lesion in which the patient "looks towards the side of the lesion and away from the hemiplegia"

Is generalized epilepsy a seizure of the whole brain or a specific brain network?
In our new paper out now in @NatureComms we investigate this by combining brain abnormalities and DBS with the human connectome.
