By using a cell specific, hormonal triggered, genetically engineered mice, we were able to confine disease manifestation to white matter producing cells (oligodendrocytes) and consequently directly examine the contribution of abnormal myelination to NF1.

Agreed. This is horrible and should be condemned out loud. No kid should die because of his religion. #TheWestIsNext #FreePalestineFromHamas #FreeHamasfromGaza #TheRealImage #حماس_هي_داعش #حرروا_فلسطين_من_حماس #Hamas_is_ISIS

Over 100 Jewish groups released a statement condemning the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian-American in an act of anti-Muslim hate. “Let us be unequivocally clear: The Jewish community rejects Islamophobia, anti-Arab hate, antisemitism, and all forms of bigotry.”

@ShimonBurshtein שרשור מעולה, מוסיף שבמקרים קשים במיוחד - מה שנקרא טורט ממאיר (אם הטריקים גורמים לפגיעה עצמית או ישנה פגיעה משמעותית באיכות החיים) שעמידים לטיפול תרופתי, ישנה אפשרות של השתלת קוצב מוחי - התוצאות טובות מאד לחולים מתאימים.

We show how personalized mapping and cortical stimulation can disrupt this ability in patients undergoing awake brain surgery. Awake craniotomy patients underwent direct stimulation inside and outside the DMN while performing a creativity task. #Neurosurgery #Creative

No one should be harassed because of their religion. Regardless of which one. This madness must stop.

This man wearing a green jacket was berating and harassing a halal cart vendor off 83rd and 2nd Ave in NYC. Does anyone know who this man is? Planning to report to the authorities.

I am excited to announce that the Kahn Lab is now officially @ZuckermanBrain @Columbia . We will continue to study the contribution of sensory, motor and association brain systems to goal-directed behavior using fMRI in the awake passive and behaving mouse.
