Excited to share our work - new fundamental understanding of direct electrical information flow in multinuclear human thalamocortical circuits, working towards biologically inspired restoration strategies in complex brain disorders @JosefParvizi nature.com/articles/s4159…
Terrific work Danny and congratulations to the whole team. Important discoveries both mechanistically as well as methodologically, developing techniques for advancing our fundamental understanding of naturalistic human behavior in health and disease.
Our paper was just published in Nature Communications. Acute pain leaves reliable neural and facial signatures that can be tracked in natural contexts, thus promising objective, real-time pain monitoring. With @StanfordNsurg @DrCoreyKeller, @VivekBuchMD @josef_parvizi…
Thrilled to collaborate on this work by @whl0903 Evan Wang and team, developing novel sono-optogenetic approaches for cell and #circuit specific #deepbrainstimulation #neuromodulation pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
Courtney Scurto found relief from anesthesia dolorosa through an innovative deep brain stimulation approach at Stanford. "The minute they turned it on, it works," she says, now able to enjoy Hawaii's outdoors again after years of suffering.
A true honor to work with Karl and our entire @Stanford human neural circuitry program team. Extremely excited to share our initial work published today in Science, discovering conserved neural mechanisms of transforming sensation to emotion across species @ScienceMagazine
Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service…

Live from the @sfneuro Annual Meeting in Napa this weekend! Our department faculty & hospital staff are in attendance. Dr. @AnandMed, SFNS President, kicked off the day with a warm welcome & overview. @MichaelLimMD @VivekBuchMD #neurosurgery #neurosurgeon #Stanford
Vivek Buch, MD, Kelly Mahaney, MD, and Jennifer O'Malley, MD, of @StanfordChild are leading the way as the first children's hospital in the nation to implant the new Cartesia X deep brain stimulation therapy.
Thalamic sEEG is important to identify personalized seizure networks and tailor treatment, but how do you target it? In 34 patients with @VivekBuchMD we demonstrate an orthogonal trans-Sylvian technique. thejns.org/view/journals/… @stanfordnsurg @theJNS @matthew_willsey. (1/3)
Thank you @StanfordBioX for the opportunity, it’s a privilege to speak with the brightest young minds in the country.
This week, the Stanford Bio-X Undergraduate Summer Research Program featured 3 more amazing faculty talks, from Dr. Helen Blau, Dr. Jason Tucciarone, and Dr. Vivek Buch ( @VivekBuchMD )!
Are you a medical student or neurosurgery resident interested in Functional Neurosurgery, but seeking more research or clinical mentorship than what's at your own institution? Learn more about the new #ASSFN AMPLify Mentorship Program. @ASSFNeurosurg assfn.org/healthcare-pro…
Herculean effort, thanks to the team and all of our colleagues/contributors. Confirming our hypothesis, results demonstrate the power of #whiteMatter in guiding #deepBrainStimulation for #depression. Definitively the way forward. #connectomics #personalizedTherapy @StanfordNsurg
1/5 Excited to share our new publication in Biological Psychiatry: CNNI! We conducted the largest meta-analysis to date, exploring the efficacy of tractography-guided DBS for treatment-resistant depression. Full details here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jK398jVtv5U…
Particularly excited to introduce our concept of the "connectivity tilt". A robust frequency-dependent mechanism by which cortical regions may interact to create behavior. @StanfordNsurg @DrewNeuro nature.com/articles/s4159…

Truly spectacular and potentially paradigm shifting work for #temporalLobe #Epilepsy. Congratulations and a wonderful testament to the power of cross-species translation. Innovation happens at the #intersectionOfDisciplines
Excited to share our latest work from @SolteszLab @VivekBuchMD co-led with @QuynhA_Nguyen, now online @NatureMedicine. We identify the fasciola cinereum as a novel seizure focus and interventional target in mice and patients. @StanfordNsurg. (1/7) nature.com/articles/s4159…
Our future is bright. Welcome to these brilliant young surgeon-scientists. We look forward to the opportunity to help shape your training and future careers.
Today is Match Day! We are excited to announce the newest #Stanford Neurosurgery residency program additions! Welcome to the farm!🌲 Bo Lear, PhD Vera Ong (@VeraPadlanOng) Jamasb Sayadi (@JamasbSayadi) #Match2024 #StanfordNeurosurgery

Terrific article by @BrainRepairLab Isaac Chen, Kacy Cullen and team on the outlook of #CellReplacement therapy for neurological disease, published in my special issue @BrainSci_MDPI “Advancements in Restorative Neurotherapeutic Technologies”

A privilege to embark on this exploration with Karl and our entire HNC team. We hope this may lead to many discoveries and new therapies for diseases once thought impossible. @StanfordNsurg

It’s a privilege to be able to provide the most cutting edge therapies for our patients, and help drive the field forward. #Strive
.@VivekBuchMD focuses on open and minimally invasive treatment of epilepsy. Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) targets the area of the brain where seizures start with a device called a probe and emits heat to destroy the cells, causing the seizures. #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth
Your insula when electrically stimulated: Changes in the subjective states elicited with stimulation match the cytoarchitectural organization of the insula. Collaborative work with neurosurgeon @VivekBuchMD and Svenja Caspers @LabCaspers. DOI: 10.1016/j.brs.2023.11.001
