Massive Networking

You have roughly 86 billion neurons, and each one can have thousands of synapses, creating a web of connections that exceeds the number of stars in the Milky Way isn’t that Amazing?

The Power Grid

Your brain generates about 12-25 watts of electricity. While that doesn't sound like much, it’s enough to power a low-wattage LED light bulb Lol

Vol. 1: The Speed of Thought

Did you know your brain is essentially a high-speed organic supercomputer?

Lightning Fast: Information travels through your neurons at speeds up to 268 mph (431 km/h). That’s faster than a Formula 1 car!🚘

How to be a multidisciplinary neuroscientist Neuroscience subfields are often siloed. Embracing an integrative approach during training can help change that.

Beautiful young woman, mouth open smiling and holding a vase with yellow and orange flowers. She exudes joy!

20 years ago today my first wise child and babygirl was saved by a hairy chested, gold chain wearing pediatric neurosurgeon. Hours of brain surgery to pluck a peach sized tumor from a five year old’s cerebellum, and she’s still here!

Rejoice with me, it’s ALIVE DAY!

I have an appointment with my neurosurgeon this afternoon, kind of freaked out

Danielle Smith’s $30-Million AHS Firing Spree | The Tyee That’s the hit to Albertans for severance payments to top health officials since 2019, finds a Tyee analysis.

"Executive cited the recent example of a young couple who trained in Edmonton as surgeons — one as a pediatric neurosurgeon, an extremely rare speciality, and the other as a colorectal cancer surgeon. They now live and work in Kingston"

You don't say!

There's now a medical referral to see a neurosurgeon so hopefully whatever is wrong in my head (since there is no official diagnoses yet) as to what has been making be feel overwhelmingly. sick the past year.

Fabulous lecture by Yale Neurosurgeon Dr. Yemi Damisah on memory deficits in epilepsy to kick off the Western Epilepsy Research Day in the Great Hall. @westernuwin.bsky.social @schulichmeddent.bsky.social

Surgical consult this Friday with a different UCLA neurosurgeon. We will, another other topics, discuss lasers and their future relationship to my brain.

This doctor couldn't save one Palestinian toddler. Now he hopes to save all Gazan children. DURHAM, N.C. (RNS) — A 53-year-old Kuwaiti-born and US-trained doctor is the unlikely visionary who has won the support of Israeli authorities for a sprawling new philanthropic enterprise in the Gaza…

Duke University neurosurgeon Dr. David Hasan is building one of the most ambitious Palestinian-Israeli humanitarian undertakings in Gaza, begun as the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took hold.

Olá querida, como estás? De onde é que é? Pergunto porque referiu algo sobre eleições.

“Me” time is important, Get some rest and enjoy it. You can always catch a movie another time

Sometimes I just dress up and talk a walk in Nature

Most definitely if you hold on a little bit longer

All meetings done, TGIF mode activated

You’re welcome, I’d be nice if you followed back
Thanks

Try this sweet plantain Chips from Trader Joe’s and thank me later
Warning ⚠️ very addictive Lol

We’ve all heard we only use 10% of our brains. As a neurosurgeon, I can confirm
that’s a total myth.
Imaging shows that almost every part of the brain is active over a 24-hour period. Even in sleep, your brain is doing heavy lifting. We use all of it.
