| Name | Presentation Date | Presentation Topic/Conclusion |
| Richa Sharma, MD, MPH | November 2, 2020 | There were excess cerebrovascular-related deaths in the United States during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. States with more restricted mobility experienced more cerebrovascular mortality even upon adjustment for COVID-19 deaths. |

| Allison E. Gaffey, PhD | December 7, 2020 | "Investigating Post-traumatic Stress Disorder as a Nontraditional Vascular Risk Factor among Younger Adults" |
| Kevin Sheth, MD | December 7, 2020 | "Point-of-Care, Bedside MRI for Acute Brain Injury" |
| Carolyn Fredericks, MD | January 4, 2021 | "When It's Not About Memory: Multimodal Neuroimaging Approaches to Understanding Dose Psilocybin in Migraine and Cluster Headache" |
| Emmanuelle Schinder, MD, PhD | January 4, 2021 | "Sustained Reductions in Headache Burden after the Limited Administration of Low Dose Psilocybin in Migraine and Cluster Headache" |

| Shelli Farhadian, MD, PhD | February 1, 2021 | We analyzed paired spinal fluid and blood of hospitalized patients with acute COVID-19 and found evidence for divergent immunological responses in the central nervous system. Through single cell and complementary assays, we find evidence for a CNS-specific T and B cell response in the CNS, including a high burden of anti-neural autoantibodies in the CSF of patients with COVID-19 and neurological symptoms. |
