With this work we demonstrate that neurotechnology can be tailored to change single neuron properties thereby improving motoneuron function in a human motoneuron disease. This opens totally new avenues for the therapeutic use of neurotechnologies in neurodegenerative diseases 1/2

Day 2 of our exciting and innovative med student oral talks!! Come join us! #CNS2025 @CNS_Update @PittNeurosurg @adway_gopakumar @SuchetTaori @riyamdange @shovanbhatia @GAZenonosMD @pascalzinn @MCapogrosso @NitinAgarwalMD @dtfernandesc @PittTweet @PittHealthSci

I’m hiring a Neuroengineer Intern for Neuralink’s Next Gen team to help build the next generation of brain-computer interfaces. You will work with an interdisciplinary team to develop computational models of prosthetic vision, plan and run neural stimulation experiments, and

Outstanding work by @MCapogrosso and @PittTweet and @CarnegieMellon colleagues. @UPMC @RNELabs

Out in Neuron today: Neural mechanisms underlying the recovery of voluntary control of motoneurons after paralysis with spinal cord stimulation - fantastic work form @JMBalaguerSerra @genisprat and Julia Ostrowski five years in the making

🚨 2 Postdoc openings in my group – Liège, Belgium 🚨 We are recruiting for a project on brain development & autism that includes: ⚡ Neuropixels recordings ⚡ Opto/chemo ⚡ Behavior ⚡ Neural network modeling RT for visibility! 🙏 https://t.co/katpC65Psm

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

SPOTLIGHT: Marco Capogrosso. Director of @PittTweet Spinal Cord Stimulation Lab focusing on developing neurotechnologies to restore movement after paralysis in diseases such as stroke, ALS, Huntington's and spinal muscular atrophy. @MCapogrosso @RNELabs https://t.co/3Kt8DKSKt2

🚨 PREPRINT ALERT! I'm happy to share some of the final outcomes of our clinical trial aiming to test the efficacy and safety of cervical epidural spinal cord stimulation (#SCS) in #stroke survivors! @MCapogrosso @PittNeurosurg @shovanbhatia @dougweberlab https://t.co/RUuYbVm5zH

ICYMI: Finally some good news! The senate committee rejected the 40% budget cut for NIH and instead endorsed a $400 million budget increase! Science for the win.

Big win for American health & jobs! Senate panel boosts NIH budget by $400M, rejecting 40% cut. NIH research saves lives, fuels innovation, & returns $2.20 per $1 spent. MAGA taxpayers, this is YOUR win! Call your reps & keep pushing for science! #NIHFunding #AmericaFirst

At @PittBioE , taxpayer-funded neural engineering is restoring touch & movement, advancing epilepsy surgery, and training the next-gen STEM workforce. From BCIs to brain imaging, we’re translating science into care. #BCI #NeuroTech #NIHFunded #NeuralEngineering #PittResearch

S1NNER 🏆 World No.1 Jannik Sinner defeats Carlos Alcaraz to claim his first Wimbledon title 🇮🇹

Super excited and honored to receive the Dr. John J. Moossy Medical Student Award. I am excited to continue studying the effects of spinal cord stimulation for motor recovery after stroke. Thanks to all my mentors for the support!! @PittNeurosurg @MCapogrosso @rm_defreitas

Congratulations to @PittTweet med students Shovan Bhatia, Jhair Colon and Lily Tang on their selection as inaugural recipients of the John J. Moossy Medical Student Award for Excellence in Neurosurgery.

Personal referrals are the best way to hire. If you know someone who’d be a good fit for our open clinical project manager and clinical research associate positions, DM me!

Now that’s what I am taking about ☀️🕺🪩🏖️

Out today in @Nature: we show that individual neurons have diverse tuning to a decision variable computed by the entire population, revealing a unifying geometric principle for the encoding of sensory and dynamic cognitive variables. https://t.co/sqNl4v8CgR

Pittsburgh now boasts 7 unicorns, startups valued at more than $1 billion, and 4 of those have earned unicorn status within the last 12 months. Now, it’s on the map as a serious contender in the U.S. tech economy.

I'm thrilled to announce that our work to develop the Neuropixels-NHP 1.0 neural recording probe is now out in print in Nature Neuroscience. https://t.co/ZU4VxxZjVY
