  Real Simple magazine quotes Sierra Neurosurgery Group surgeon Joseph R. Walker, M.D.

Jan. 2007 – When Real Simple magazine wanted a quotable expert to discuss brain function, they called upon Sierra Neurosurgery Group neurosurgeon, Joseph R. Walker, M.D

The January 2007 issue of the national monthly publication featured Dr. Walker's comments about brain function as it relates to automatic acts such as blinking. “People blink the most when they’re on a date, speaking in public, or lying. That’s why blink counts are used in lie-detector tests,” according to Dr. Walker. The magazine has an audience of over four million readers

Dr. Walker is a founding partner at Sierra Neurosurgery Group in Reno, Nevada. For nearly 30 years, Sierra Neurosurgery Group has provided exceptional neurosurgical care to the residents of Northern Nevada and Northeastern California. It is the region's oldest continuously operating group of neurosurgeons and is one of the largest groups in Nevada specializing in the treatment of brain, spinal and peripheral nerve disorders.
