Timeless wisdom from the great @AdamMGrant. You’ve definitely left an impact already with your fantastic books and contribution to knowledge 👏🧠.
The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others. In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact. The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.

Amazing work by @IsaiahNeurology @foxmdphd and @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology 👏 Paving the way to a better understanding of the brain 🧠.
Can a brain injury lead someone to commit a #crime?.Brain imaging is increasingly introduced as evidence in criminal trials but it remains unclear which structural injuries play a causal role in criminal behavior. @foxmdphd @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology .

Excellent factors to consider when optimizing fatigue in MS.
Fatigue in multiple sclerosis is not always due to MS itself. Sometimes, there are other factors at play such so these (other medical problems, sleep deprivation, medication side effects).

To me, being an MS specialist means more than just writing prescriptions for DMTs - it means being there for our patients with ongoing support & optimism for the latest research and treatment advances. We walk with our patients so they never feel as though they are alone 🧡👩🏻⚕️.

I feel so lucky to be able to take care of people with MS as neurologist 🧡 This is always more hope in store @mssociety.
An MS diagnosis can feel overwhelming and scary – many people don’t even know where to begin, like Courtney. In honor of @WorldMSDay, we want to shine a light on MS diagnoses. Tell us, what is your diagnosis story?

It reminds of me the stroke trials - like the WAKEUP trial - that showed that if you intervene before damage occurs, you can have much better outcomes. In the case of stroke, it was when there was early DWI changes but before there were the more permanent FLAIR changes on MRI 🧠.

Incredible work done by the NIH. A breakthrough way of tracking MS lesion development in marmoset brain. And development of potential MRI biomarker (increased proton density to T2 relaxation) that can predict lesion formation before the damage occurs! .
