Super excited to share our new lab preprint showing that human pulvinar stimulation engages select cortical pathways by Jordan Bilderbeek, with @Kai_J_Miller @GregoryWorrell @HarveyHuangMed @JamieVanGompel @brunnerlab @JTWillieMD and others biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Resective epilepsy surgery can lead to widespread brain network changes. Sainburg et al. review evidence from imaging studies highlighting these effects and discuss their implications for brain function and seizure outcomes. tinyurl.com/37wdjvhm

Valuable insights from Bill Mack and Emad Eskandar on managing research finances and NIH funding mechanisms with great questions from the K12 participants.

Today in @NatureNeuro, researchers led by @LabNowakowski, @ChangLabUCSF & Mircea Teodorescu (@ucscgenomics) demonstrate the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain tissue: nature.com/articles/s4159… @JohnPAndrews_MD @UCSFstemcell

More evidence that working memory is not persistent activity. Instead, it is dynamic on/off states with short-term synaptic plasticity. Intermittent rate coding and cue-specific ensembles support working memory nature.com/articles/s4158… #neuroscience

Theta frequency deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus improves working memory in Parkinson’s disease academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

“Creative” and all around awesome work by friend/colleague/partner ⁦@BShofty⁩ on the neural correlates of creative thinking and the #defaultmodenetwork ⁦@UofUNeurosurg⁩ academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Kundu Lab is hiring a post doc! Please apply if interested in working with human intracranial working memory data! #postdoc #workingmemory #memory neurojobs.sfn.org/job/37807/post…

Super cool educational video going through the entire process of CM nucleus DBS surgery by @RolstonJohn’s team including the ROSA robot, THOMAS Atlas fusion and @leaddbs postoperative control: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

We are so excited to welcome Woro George, University of Colorado medical student to join our neurosurgery residency program @MUHEALTH!!! The future of neurosurgery at the University of Missouri Columbia looks bright!!!

New cluster based permutation for ECoG data

visualdbslab.com is excited to support @netstim_org 's divers in the discovery of the human 'dysfunctome'! nature.com/articles/s4159…

nature.com/articles/s4159… Centrolateral thalamic stimulation might help with cognitive deficits in TBI. Groundbreaking! It is critical that we continue to understand the role of thalamus in cognition and arousal to treat TBI, epilepsy, and other widespread network dysfunction.

Do you know language of the cells (physiology) in Parkinson’s folks with STN DBS during emotional processing? @littleneuro and colleagues review this topic in @Natureand they show physiology recording from the STN in #Parkinsons revealing a component of alpha band activity in…

Dr. Kundu @bornalik - neurosurgeon @Mizzou - shared that thanks to #animalresearch to understand normal brain function as well as brain disorders has propelled progress in treatments for humans #SfN23 #neuroscience @SfNtweets @SfN_Events @NPRC News

@bornalik “#animalresearch must continue to pave the way for better patient outcomes” #sfn23 @sfNTweets @nprcnews #neuroscience

@bornaliK “it is important to share that surgical techniques are much safer than they were decades ago.”

@RhiaCowan slayed the nano! #SfN2023 #SfN23 #RewP #seeg Work w/@RolstonJohn @rshervin @BShofty @BornaliK @NuwandaAP
