A postdoc in my lab contacted a fellow scientist to get some advice and was told that, because he's currently working on the topic, he "can't give away all his secrets." I find this extremely lame, and yet I keep encountering it. Science is not a zero-sum game!!

Probably the most insightful and most important paper on physiomarkers of subthalamic DBS in a long while. Bravo @julianneumann.bsky.social @tsbinns.com and team!! Out at @natcomms.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

When we use TMS to treat depression, we think it alters neural activity in a deep brain structure known as the subgenual anterior cingulate (sgACC). But this is hard to test directly, until our preprint with @coreykeller.bsky.social, @neuro-engineer.bsky.social, Nick Trapp, and Aaron Boes (UIowa) 1/

We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. But what if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n

Proud to share the first of our two-part sequel papers on the #TUS-#DBS project! t.co/yrGRcdpjXn We recorded local field potentials using #PerceptPc #DBS systems in #Parkinsons patients while applying transcranial ultrasound stimulation (#TUS) — aiming to better understand its effects & mechanisms.

Awesome work by @barbarahollunder.bsky.social showing how 4 different diseases that can all be modulated at a tiny nuclei (STN) can be differentiated by white matter tracts (to be a little hipster: I’ve been a fan of this since it was a preprint)

Really thought-provoking talk by @julianneumann.bsky.social going over many things, including STN DBS but not Sinemet decreases cortical beta, and a super interesting theory about closed-loop timing of stimulation to beta phase

Super cool talk by @karaannjohnson.bsky.social showing how evoked resonant neural activity (ERNA) can be used to guide DBS localization, direction, and (possibly even) more!
