    John Andrews, MD is a neurosurgery resident with an interest in epilepsy, brain tumors and pediatric neurosurgery. His basic science background includes optogenetics in human brain slice models of epilepsy, as well as single neuron, whole-cell patch clamping to describe mechanisms of impaired consciousness. He has also used experience with electrophysiology to basic mechanisms of seizure physiology and how circuits can be manipulated to interrupt pathologic seizure-like activity. Mentors at UCSF include Dr. Edward Chang, Dr. Mitchel Berger, and Tomasz Nowakowski.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
