AI in Neurology, Volume II is now accepting submissions. The Frontiers in Neurology Research Topic brings together an expanded editorial team and seeks rigorously vetted work that can bridge rapid AI development and deliberate clinical practice.

It follows a tradition of similar articles that made it to the cover.

Our Tritan Joseph Plute’s Platform presentation “Real-Time & Passive Localization of the Epileptic Network based on Single-Pulse Electrical Stimulation: Correlation with the standard of care and surgical outcomes” was featured in the UPMC Department of Neurology newsletter. We are very proud of Tritan's success and congratulate him on this achievement.

We are delighted to announce that our course series entitled “Human Brain Mapping” organized through the Human Brain Mapping Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center will take place as planned this academic year Jul 21 - Jun 22. The course has been held at UPMC since 2019, and at Yale 2013-2018 and had attracted local students, international scholars, neurology/neurosurgery faculty and post-doc in multiple subdomains. This course is open to everyone, is not credited, and does not require registration.
