Really interesting and impactful work! Engaging patient symptoms may enhance TMS response. Huge potential across diseases to understand and improve TMS outcomes

Our lab has spent the last few years developing a fully automated tool for predicting personalized outcomes from stroke that incorporates lesion location. Our hope is that it bridges lesion research and clinical neurology. Check it out: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Is generalized epilepsy a seizure of the whole brain or a specific brain network? In our new paper out now in @NatureComms we investigate this by combining brain abnormalities and DBS with the human connectome. Paper: nature.com/articles/s4146… A 🧵 below:
