New research from Johns Hopkins identifies an ancient group of brainstem neurons that control selective attention by filtering out distractions. When silenced in mice, the neurons triggered ADHD-like distractibility. When restored, normal focus returned the next day. The findings could open new pathways for treating attention disorders. bit.ly/4aNZy22

At 79, Audrey Smith is living proof of how far sickle cell care has come. Born when children with SCD rarely survived past age 5, she's now received over 20 years of care at @HopkinsMedicine, including 2,000 units of donated blood through monthly red cell exchange transfusions.
