Could clinical expertise be understood as a form of learned probabilistic inference, in which intuition is an early conscious manifestation of prediction error?
Amad et al. propose that cliniciansā intuitive impressions during psychiatric interviews reflect the detection of violated interpersonal expectations, rather than mere subjectivity. This process, which they term āVIBEā, may help guide diagnostic reasoning. shorturl.at/4hOge

Preliminary data from @HBSlab & collaborators indicates chronic directional adaptive deep brain stimulation is feasible, tolerable, effective, & safe in people with #Parkinsons; On-time w/o troublesome dyskinesiaā¬ļømedian 1.2āhours/day; N=17

The Fields Medalist Maryam Mirzakhani died of cancer in 2017, just as she was advancing the study of impossible-seeming objects called hyperbolic surfaces. Last month, two mathematicians built on her unfinished work to prove a sweeping statement about these shapes. Joseph Howlett reports: quantamagazine.org/years-aftā¦
Privileged to work alongside @HBSlab @Stanford_Neuro and witness years of meticulous research conducted around the globe, leading to a meaningful breakthrough for our patients!

Stanford Neurology movement disorder fellows learn the anatomy of deep brain stimulation through virtual reality. #MovementDisorders
Intrigued by how this observation transforms the current understanding in the field of Movement Disorders: FMD as a Prodromal Symptom of Parkinson's Disease
@AlbertoEspay @kailashbhatia @movedisorder
New view point from @kailashbhatia & colleagues reviews the evidence concerning the temporal relationship between functional movement disorder & #Parkinsons; They explore the possibility of FMD as a prodromal symptom of PD

The @movedisorder course opened my eyes wide, just like the Eyes on the Aspen trees! Couldnāt ask for a better way to delve into my fellowship @Stanford_Neuro @MichaelOkun @JankovicJoseph @MarkHallett007 @AlbertoEspay @DrSusanHFox @JenGoldmanMD

What is the most important examination maneuver for a movement disorders neurologist? It may shock you to learn there is not agreement on this point. The search for bradykinesia of course must be in the top #3, as @AlbertoEspay kicks us off today in @movedisorder Aspen course 2024 with a review of the 'unending search to understand the phenomenology' of human movement. Day #1 is #Parkinsons
Delighted to graduate from my neurology residency @KeckMedicineUSC @LAGeneralMed and honored to receive the Golden Hammer and the Teaching Award to conclude this chapter.

Libetās demonstration that SMA activity precedes conscious decision making is thought to have put the nail in the coffin of dualism. R. Sjƶberg argues that SMA resections show Libetās findings to be irrelevant to the scientific discussion of free will. tinyurl.com/4aft5kjh
A few weeks to the end of my residency diagnosed a patient with CADASIL; important pearls: the diagnosis is not excluded by the apparent lack of a family history. Subtle neuropsychiatric symptoms such as apathy and executive dysfunction should raise suspicion

āIf the imagination is to be stirred if the intellect is to work, assumptions should be questioned, presuppositions must be challenged. The whole thing must be constantly looked at, not by too many and too much perhaps!ā

āIf not examined and left fallow then societies become ossified, beliefs turn into dogma imagination is warped and intellect becomes sterile. Societies decay as a result of simply lying on some comfortable bed of unexamined dogma.ā

High doses of anesthetics can induce a deep state of unconsciousness associated with cognitive impairments. A new study reveals brain wave patterns that could help determine when patients approach that state and reduce postoperative brain dysfunction.
