A @UIowaNeuro research team identified a specific area of the brain linked to prolonged loss of breathing after a seizure, shedding light on a rare complication of #Epilepsy that causes approximately 3,000 deaths per year. spr.ly/6016uSR7I

In what’s called the best tradition in college sports, @HarrySmith shares the history of people in the Kinnick Stadium waving to patients at Stead Family Children's Hospital overlooking the field — and meets a player in a full-circle moment.

A new study underscores the amygdala's critical role in post-seizure breathing suppression, offering a vital clue in understanding SUDEP—a leading death cause among severe epilepsy patients. neurosciencenews.com/amygdal… #neuroscience 1/2

We found that in #epilepsy patients, when seizures spread to a focal subregion of the human #amygdala, apnea is evoked & can persist for minutes after the seizures ends! Patients are unaware! This may lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (#SUDEP). insight.jci.org/articles/vie…

Today's Nobel is a reminder to focus on the work and not the journal. The key publications cited by the committee were published in Immunity, Molecular Therapy, and Nucleic Acids Research. Respectable journals, but not the Big 3. The discoveries are what's important, not a name.

Dr. Katalin says in this interview, “ten years ago I was kicked out of Penn” This is the ultimate redemption story of our generation.
“Ten years ago I was kicked out and forced to retire.” Our new medicine laureate Katalin Karikó (@kkariko) told us how much it means to be awarded the Nobel Prize after a scientific career that has been full of challenges. Ten years ago, Karikó was still doing all her experiments by hand but today she has been awarded the medicine prize for her research on mRNA, which led to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.

Gabby was diagnosed with a brain tumor after a scan showed a mass and fluid buildup. Even after many surgeries and chemotherapy at our hospital, the tumor kept growing. A new drug is helping it shrink. Meet this week’s Kid Captain, Gabby Ford of Fairfield. spr.ly/6016PC6Ey
