Thalamus: A practical platform for real-time multimodal data capture in clinical neuroscience
Thalamus is a real-time system for synchronizing neural and behavioral data across multiple devices, built to meet the demands of modern clinical neuroscience. In this post, we take a behind-the-scenes look at how the system was developed, and the practical challenges that motivated its design.
The genetic architecture of neurological disorders: an integrated review
Neurological disorders, ranging from common conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease to rare syndromes, often involve complex genetic architectures that complicate diagnosis and treatment.
As words come of age, as words come undone
The first time my grandfather forgot the word ‘spoon,’ nobody panicked. The tenth time, we quietly wondered: “Is this just getting older… or should we get worried?”
Recessive ReNU2 syndrome: highly prevalent and potentially treatable
Genetic variants in a small noncoding gene called RNU2-2 are responsible for the most prevalent known recessive neurodevelopmental disorder. It may also be amongst the disorders amenable to treatment with gene replacement therapy.
Expanding the Spectrum of Autoimmune Encephalitis — A Rare Anti-Recoverin Case
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) continues to evolve as a diagnostic category, with emerging antibodies expanding both its clinical and mechanistic boundaries. This case report highlights a particularly rare and instructive entity: anti-recoverin antibody–associated autoimmune encephalitis.
