New lesion study of dyskinetic CP. Wondering how similar / dissimilar network is to lesion associated dystonia, which implicated SCAN? doi.org/10.1002/ana.27…
Marcelino and Al-Fatly et al. report literature-based lesion network mapping of dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Grey matter lesions are the most common MRI finding; the motor thalamus is a converging node of a wide functional network. Read at buff.ly/IyRv0E0.
Very excited to have Mark Bowren join our U. of Iowa faculty in July. Check out his open RA and post-doc positions. Awesome opportunity for anyone interested in lesion research and virtual lesions using a novel ultra high frequency intracranial stim. Exciting stuff to come…
In ~2 weeks I'll begin launching my lab, the Brain Lesion and Neuromodulation Lab! I'm looking to fill 2 roles: 1 RA & 1 postdoc. If you're interested in intracranial electrical stimulation, lesion-deficit mapping, and/or neuropsychology, reach out! Official postings to come.
What brain regions are involved in causing psychotic symptoms? Take a moment away from the existential dread about the future of science, and join me in this summary of some incredibly cool stuff that could help patients! 1/n🧵 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
📢A lab’s 1st baby-step is always memorable! First #iEEG evidence that #DLPFC #TMS🧲 evokes responses in #sgACC now out @brainstimj: bit.ly/4mX07ei Huge thanks to @IowaNeurosurg @boeslab @NickTrapp13 @xianqing_liu @DrCoreyKeller @UIowaPeds @UIowaNeuro @NIMHgov 💛🖤❤️
Great news! Congratulations Mark. Thrilled to have you join the faculty.
A dream of mine has come true: I've accepted an offer to become a tenure-track assistant professor & clinical neuropsychologist at the University of Iowa! I'm honored to help carry on the legacy of neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience that has been established here.
In @elife: Neuromodulation with Ultrasound: Hypotheses on the Directionality of Effects and a Community Resource doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… For those who are interested in LIFUS, please share with us so we can update the database for the community. It’s a new frontier!
In the action-mode, arousal is heightened, attention focused externally, and plans are converted to goal-directed movements and updated based on feedback, such as pain. The brain’s action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) rdcu.be/d5odm. In the…
Does TMS delivered to the dlPFC elicit a response in the subgenual ACC? New work with intracranial EEG says yes! @NickTrapp13 @DrCoreyKeller @jingjiang_psy Preprint here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What do you have for favorite neuroscience books read this year, #neurotwitter? Looking for some good reads over holidays. I'll start with this one. Leave it to a non-neuroscientist to write one of the best neuro books I've read in years. Thanks to @andreashorn_ for rec
Is there a brain circuit for #schizophrenia? Press release from @MassGenBrigham on work by @edmakhlouf @shansiddiqi out today in @NatMentHealth says Yes! @Brain_Circuits massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr…
