1/Great to be on Bluesky- to get started here’s a mega thread on what I know about #FND and how to have the best chance of beating it. It's just my personal view- so not set in stone - I hope people will find it helpful.

"I made this pact a while ago that because #MS is a part of me I will love it, because I have to love myself" Sandra in Australia, I can't get your words out of my mind 🧡 I see so many ppl struggle with the "warrior" mentality...pushing through, feeling a burden, highly self-critical...

Predictive models are a great tool for advising people with #epilepsy about their individualised risks around surgery BUT we tend to approach this from a clinician-centred perspective, focusing on cognition. What patients say matters most (outside of seizure freedom/reduction):

Question for my #neuropsychology colleagues. Do you prefer using regression-based demographic norms over traditional (e.g., age-stratified) norms? What are your reasons for favoring one over the other?

Wow, what a fantastic resource! I think the most engaging neuroanatomy tool from my student days was The Human Brain Colouring book...doesn't quite match the production value on offer here! 😅
