Gabriel H. Wilson Award
The Gabriel H. Wilson Award presented for the best paper presented at the WNRS Annual Meeting was established in 1988 in honor of the first WNRS President, Gabriel H. Wilson, MD. The award recipient is selected by members of the Gabriel H. Wilson Award Committee.
The 2023 Gabriel H. Wilson Award recipient is Taylor Gullett, MD, for scientific paper entitled, “The Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Neural Anatomy, Neural Connectivity and White Matter Hyperintensities in an Obese Hispanic Population.”
