@NeurosurgUCSF
Department of Neurological Surgery @UCSF. We focus on providing the best possible care for our patients, alongside research efforts to develop better treatments
We are thrilled to announce the appointment of Edward Chang, MD as the new Chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery at UCSF! 👏👏 Learn more about him here: neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/news/ucsf-neur…
- Today in @NatureNeuro, researchers led by @LabNowakowski, @ChangLabUcsf & Mircea Teodorescu (@ucscgenomics) demonstrate the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain tissue: nature.com/articles/s4159… @JohnPAndrews_MD @UCSFstemcell
00:00 - Researchers @UCSF, led by neurosurgeon Edward Chang, MD, have used #Neuropixels probes to record activity from hundreds of individual neurons while participants listened to speech. Out today in @Nature, this study gives us a view into how the brain analyzes the sounds in words.
00:00 - During his last week as Chair of the Neurosurgery Department at UCSF, we celebrate Dr. Mitchel Berger's leadership and legacy. Over the last 23 years, his pioneering vision and work has impacted the entire neurosurgery community: neurosurgery.ucsf.edu/news/mitchel-s…
- Out today in @Nature, new research by @ChangLabUcsf has set a new benchmark for a speech neuroprosthesis that can allow people with severe speech paralysis to communicate. nature.com/articles/s4158… @UCSF @ucsfhealth #ucsfweill
00:00 - We're so excited to welcome the newest members of @UCSF Neurosurgery! Congratulations to John Bernabei, MD, PhD (@bernabei_john) , Sravani Kondapavulur, MD, PhD (@skondapavulur), and Mahmoud Elguindy, MD, PhD (@notinthemoud) 🎉🎉 #Match2023 #MatchDay #Neurosurgery
- A specialist in awake brain surgery, @HerveyJumper is the latest in a long line of UCSF neurosurgeons known for removing tumors once deemed inoperable. In this @UCSF magazine feature, a view of what his day looks like between the OR and his research lab: magazine.ucsf.edu/awake-brain-ca…
- "This is the first successful demonstration of direct decoding of full words from the brain activity of someone who is paralyzed and cannot speak.” In @NEJM, @UCSF neurosurgeon Edward Chang & team describe a new technology for restoring speech: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #ucsfweill
00:00 - Breakthrough Technology: @UCSF researchers, led by neurosurgeon Edward Chang, have successfully developed a “speech neuroprosthesis” that has enabled a man with severe paralysis to communicate. ucsf.edu/news/2021/07/4… #ucsfweill
- New @UCSF work published in @NatureComms shows that @ChangLabUcsf 's brain-computer interface allows a person who has lost the ability to speak or type to spell out full sentences from a large vocabulary by silently attempting to speak: nature.com/articles/s4146…
00:00 - Congratulations to @UCSF neurosurgeon @HerveyJumper, who was awarded a NIH K08 award!! 👏👏 His research focuses on how gliomas interact with functional cognitive networks, so we can better predict which patients are at greatest risk for language deficits. herveyjumperlab.ucsf.edu
- Published in @NatureBiotech, @UCSFHospitals neurosurgeon Philip Starr & colleagues describe the first human use of a #DBS device that allows chronic wireless streaming of brain activity at home. This is the first step towards adaptive DBS for #Parkinsons: nature.com/articles/s4158…
00:00 - A big congratulations to @UCSF neurosurgeon and scientist @herveyjumper on being honored with the Mitchel S. Berger, MD Endowed Professorship! 🎉 @UCSFHospitals @UCSFCancer #UCSFProud
