Many congrats to our very own Dr. Akash Patel and everyone involved in planning and executing this year's successful @CNS_Update Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. 👏 Dr. Patel served as 2026 Scientific Program Chair and was directly involved in planning this year's programming.

Now that the 2026 @CNS_Update Annual Meeting has wrapped up, I’ve had a chance to reflect on what an incredible meeting it was. Serving as Scientific Program Chair was an honor, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to help shape this meeting alongside @KhoiThanMD, @AnandMed, and CNS President @MartinaStippler. Our goal was to create a program with something for everyone—across subspecialties, career stages, and interests—and it was incredibly rewarding to see it come to life. What will stay with me most are the conversations, the exchange of ideas, and the connections with colleagues old and new. Thank you to the speakers, moderators, attendees, and CNS staff who made it all possible. Proud to have been part of it. Can't wait to see you guys next year! @BCMNeurosurgery @ReginaRns #2026CNS #MedEd #Neurosurgery

In a new paper in @NeuroCellPress, we found that hippocampal neurons use related, but distinct, neural codes to represent self, others, and gaze. This structure may help the brain both distinguish perspectives and generalize across them. Read more: cell.com/neuron/abstract/S08…

Neural geometry in the human hippocampus enables generalization across spatial position and gaze

Chericoni et al. show that neurons in the human hippocampus track the positions of multiple agents in a simple pursuit-based video game. They identified place codes for each agent and for gaze. The...

‼️ New preprint from the lab, led by co-first authors @rick_hanish and Jeffrey Zhou! @BCMNeurosurgery 120,000 patient-hours of intracranial recordings gave us a unique window into how human neural dynamics reorganize during successful DBS for OCD. Thread below👇

What does panic look like in the human brain? In our new paper in @brainstimj , we captured its neural and autonomic signature during DBS: a surge in prefrontal theta, with tract engagement to the amygdala and insula.

Anatomic and physiologic correlates of deep brain stimulation-induced panic attack

Despite previous reports of deep brain stimulation (DBS)-induced panic attacks [1], the neuroanatomic and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain poorly understood. Intracra...

“This helps explain how bilingual people can switch between languages so fluidly. The brain seems to maintain a common internal structure for meaning while simultaneously keeping languages distinct enough to avoid interference.” -Benjamin Hayden, Ph.D. Professor
