Alyssa Runco & Jesse Levine illuminate the phenotypic spectrum caused by ATP1A2 and ATP1A3 variants - epilepsy, movement disorders, neurodevelopmental disabilities, ♥️ arrhythmias, and more at #AANAM . #DeepPhenotyping 🧬 #TourDeForce Daniel Calame, MD, PhD Lisa Emrick Mariam Hull

Congratulations to Mikael Guzman Karlsson, MD PhD and Jesse Levine for receiving the #AAN Futures in Neurological Research Scholarship! #AAN AM American Academy of Neurology

We’re so excited for y’all to join us!!! And we’re so excited for all of our new child neurology colleagues across the country! Happy Match Day everyone! #MatchDay2024

Could the gut be a long-term therapeutic target to treating neonatal #HIE ? Viola Caretti, MD PhD’s rodent model work shows that nHIE causes #GutDysbiosis and alterations in gut-produced metabolites in brain tissue. #GutBrainAxis #GutMicrobiome

#ModelSystems in research provide key insights into the #NeuralCircuits underlying disease and decoding their responsivity to therapeutics. Megan Nguyen and Jason Gill show that thalamic, but not basal ganglia, #DBS can alleviate acquired cerebellar dystonia. 🧠 #CNSAM

#GRIN2A is associated with a neurodevelopmental and epilepsy phenotypic spectrum. Jeff Kuerbitz leverages extrapolated functional data to predict successful treatment of self-injurious behaviour with memantine. #CNSAM #PrecisionMedicine 💊 #PatientCenteredCare

Pure sensory #GBS variants are rare, atypical, and often misdiagnosed presentations of sensory loss/ataxia. Alyssa Runco showed how autoantibody testing and NCS can provide diagnostic certainty, improve prognostication, and may improve recovery time #CNSAM

#UnconsciousBias among healthcare providers contributes to diagnostic and treatment #disparities in patients with #DevelopmentalDisabilities . Alyssa Runco also emphasized the need to address communication barriers and disease familiarity among providers. #CNSAM

Examination of #SocialDeterminantsOfHealth and #HealthDisparities bolsters our understanding of disease pathophysiology and ability to provide equitable care. Nerdexplainsneurons integrates diverse patient #EHR and public #data to make insights in #NMDARencephalitis #CNSAM

Uncovering new layers #FIRESPathogenesis 🔥! As an aspiring neuroimmunogeneticist, Jesse Levine’s #CNSAM poster delves into the impact of a de novo #CSF1R variant, suggesting a possible link to microglial dysfunction.

Careful history taking is at the core of #quality neurological care that is #patientcentered , timely, and efficient. At #CNSAM , Chrissie Massrey emphasizes the importance of pattern recognition and having an appropriate index of suspicion for #PanayiotopoulosSyndrome

Not all language difficulties are created equal. Karla Patricia Salazar, MD and Kristen Fisher highlight a rare case of verbal #AuditoryAgnosia 👂🏽 in a patient with #NMDAR encephalitis. #DeepDiveDiagnosis

Innovation in neurological care requires concurrent innovation in neurology graduate medical education. At #CNSAM , our faculty Steven M. Lazar, MD, MEd, Daniel Davila-Williams , and Fatema Malbari highlight the use of team-based learning and micro learning. #MedEd #TBL #AdultLearning

Congratulations to Nerdexplainsneurons receiving the Tauen Chang Outstanding Junior Member Award at the #CNSAM ! Your work as the first author on a selected abstract truly stands out. Keep pushing the boundaries of neuroscience research! 🎉🔬 #ExcellenceInScience

As child neurologists, we often are faced with managing complex patient presentations. At #CNSAM Manasa Sudheendra, MD underscores the potential for neuroinflammatory involvement in ROHHAD-NET, adding to growing evidence for immune-mediated disease mechanisms.

Building on our commitment to #QualityImprovement , Doug Wells, presents at #CNSAM , showcasing our resident-led initiative to accelerate #Autism diagnoses. Using informatic tools and medical education, we're taking strides in patient-centered, efficient, and equitable care.

Evolution of exam findings warrants DDx reevaluation. While presenting on an atypical presentation of intracranial mucormycosis in a pediatric patient with T-ALL, Rima El Atrache highlights the need for vigilance in evaluating uncommon infections in immunocompromised patients.
