Intrigued to discover more about how DBS reveals & therapeutically impacts on the dysfunctional circuits behind different brain disorders, from OCD to dystonia? 🪄🧠 So were we! Join us on this deep dive from core to cortex – now out @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s4159… A 🧵

Thankyou to all those who attended the October session of #stimbrains!! 🔊 @ArynGittis and @drpouratian shared their insights on developing and implementing "biology informed optimization" which could be key for maximizing DBS outcomes in patients
Open access paper here: rdcu.be/d1Asp Really grateful to the many participants who gave up their time to be part of this study & my fantastic colleagues @QIMRB_Institute who provided their scientific expertise. A huge undertaking but (we think) an important outcome for…
WATCH: #Brisbane researchers have for the first time found a way to diagnose a severe form of #depression known as #melancholia, offering new hope for people who have struggled to get an effective diagnosis and treatment for their depression.

Congratulations @kenhdmodins and look forward to welcoming you to @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology @harvardmed. Excited to work with you and the amazing team of experts you’ve assembled!
Excited to explore stage-specific biomarkers in PD under the guidance of @foxmdphd & @Brain_Circuits, thanks to Thiemann Fellowship 2024! Grateful for support from @volkmann_jens, @muthu100680, @wu_guorong, & @HACho1455363. Ready to push PD research with this clinical+AI team!
Congratulations!! well deserved and can't wait to see you here!
Congratulations to @b_hollunder for getting a Thiemann Fellowship to join @foxmdphd at the @Brain_Circuits next year! Couldn’t be more proud and this is so well deserved after a truly fantastic PhD! 🙌👏🎉🎉🥳🎈🎁

What is happening in the pallido-subthalamic circuit during DBS?! We had a unique opportunity to stim/record from both structures in a patient with dystonia to better understand the origins of ERNA... @brainstimj dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.… 1/3
Happening today at noon ET (5 PM European) – I truly believe this will be a landmark talk from two speakers tightly working together across mice 🐁 🐭 🐁🐭 and humans🧍🏻♀️🧍🏾🧍🏽♂️ to improve DBS! Tune in 👇👇
🎙️ Just 2 days to go! Join us for an insightful talk from @ArynGittis and @drpouratian. Don’t miss the chance to dive deep into the latest and greatest in optogenetics and pallidal burst stimulation. 📅 October 31st 🕒 12 PM ET/5 PM CET 🖥️ Register now 👉 partners.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Can you name all the promising neuromodulation technologies beyond DBS? Can you summarize where they stand for Parkinson's treatment? How about a review with some beautiful images including temporal interference, nanoparticles, ultrasound, gene therapy, and designer receptors?…
Is there a brain circuit target for restoration of consciousness? New lesion and DBS results by @aaewarren @RolstonJohn @Brain_Circuits says yes! Free preprint link and thread below.

Excited to be recognized with the @brainstimj @ElsevierConnect Early Career Award 2025! Big thanks go out to the fantastic individuals in my lab without whom none would be possible! See you in Kobe – who else is coming? @Brain_Circuits @netstim_org elsevier.com/events/confere…
How to most accurately predict symptoms after stroke? 🧠👩⚕️💻 1/7 We explored most optimal scenarios, relying on clinical & imaging data of ~1.500 patients - Full results now published @ANA_journals: doi.org/10.1002/acn3.5… #Stroke #PrecisionMedicine @BWHNeurology @MGHNeurology
Congrats again to @bahnebahners for the @movedisorder Junior Award – official press pictures arrived today :)
Great news – the @stimbrains talk series returns with an exceptional lineup! 🎇 Looking forward to witnessing the fantastic @ArynGittis & @drpouratian explore the intersection of optogenetics & neuromodulation. To receive the Zoom link, register at talks.stimulatingbrains.org!
🚨 The talk series is back from its summer break 🚨 Join us on Thursday, October 31st 12 PM ET/ 5 PM CET for a discussion on optogenetically inspired pallidal burst stimulation w/ Nader Pouratian and Aryn Gittis 🧠⚡️ Register here 👇👇👇 partners.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Stopped by @karaannjohnson poster, from 2022 Stanley Fahn Awardee @coradehemptinne lab, who is investigating neurophysiological markers of depression from recordings taken during DBS surgery for PD. An important topic!
Great to see @shansiddiqi @Brain_Circuits talking about his recent PTSD work in the news: boston25news.com/news/dr-shan-s…
Thanks to @andreashorn_ for unpacking a key finding of our recent Journal of Neurology publication👇! This was a great collaboration that further supports continued investigation into whether early DBS could slow PD motor progression. @SpringerNature link.springer.com/article/10.100…
I am super excited by this figure just published by @MalloryHacker et al. – why? Let’s unpack… 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
