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!

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.

‼️ 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👇
New medRxiv preprint!
Chronic intracranial neural dynamics forecast treatment response and therapeutic engagement during deep brain stimulation for OCD.
Thanks to co-first author Jeffrey Zhou, my advisor @NicoleProvenza, and our collaborators.

‼️New preprint from the lab by @saichamarthi_ and @G_Reyes00!
Our goal is to understand neural activity in the context of everyday life. We developed an automated, open-source framework for synchronizing chronic DBS recordings with Oura Ring data. Full thread👇

Excited to share a project @G_Reyes00 and I have been working on! Our preprint, “A Reproducible Framework for Integrating Chronic Deep Brain Stimulation Sensing with Wearable Behavioral Monitoring,” is now up on medRxiv: doi.org/10.64898/2026.09.18.… (1/6)

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.
Grateful to be part of this work with @drpouratian and @SameerShethMD

A recent study from a team at @bcmhouston and @TexasChildrens investigated how the brain supports continuous decision-making in situations where people must constantly balance, update, and re-evaluate competing goals 🤔
