@KebbelChri25685 @RealJamesWoods It simply a lack of creativity from researchers to find a better alternative to animal testing. So NO we don't have to test on animals. Im a researcher btw.

Dr. Andres Lozano, @DrAlfonsoFasano, and @kalialabs @KBI_UHN highlight the results of the first clinical trial of a new treatment for #Parkinsons, bemdaneprocel, which replaces lost #dopamine by generating new neurons from #StemCells.

The 6th #BrainStimConf is officially underway! Mark George and Harold Sackeim kicked things off with opening remarks, followed by insightful plenary talks from @marombikson and @cjstagg. Exciting to see papers from both of my PIs—including my own—among the top downloads of 2024! 🔥 @brainstimj @RobertC21093233

@benjamin_kop @drcarysevans One thing though. The 4nchannel is a lot thicker than the 2 channel. So this will increase the tms to scalp distance. In addition the 4 channel is much more focused than the 2 channel. So it may be that the 4 channel is simply not engaging enough neurons. Just an idea.

[Jean-Francois Nankoo @JFNankoo]

@benjamin_kop @drcarysevans Interesting. I wonder why there are studies replicating it? If it is a bias then we have to consider a systematic bias in multiple labs. FYI - I have no personal attachment to any protocols - I am just curious.

@benjamin_kop @drcarysevans Since the Zeng result has been replicated multiple times, I wonder if the difference in equipment is the issue. 4 channel vs 2 channel.

[Motor Cortex] Stanley Chen et al.: "Co-delivery of transcranial focused ultrasound (TUS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can elicit inhibitory after-effect in subjects who showed online inhibition, suggesting that TUS and TMS may interact with each other to produce plasticity effects."

It was a pleasure to participate in the Canadian Focused Ultrasound Meeting and present our brand new data on the selective manipulation of attention & cognitive control using transcranial ultrasound stimulation of deep brain areas in humans. Thanks @JFNankoo for the invitation!

[Jean-Francois Nankoo @JFNankoo]

@HamidRamezanpou Great work and great presentation.

[Can SARICA @CANSARICA2]

The 1st Canadian Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation meeting was a success, with participants from across Canada including Ontario, Alberta, BC, and Quebec. Tomorrow, we continue with the international #FUN24 congress @MaRSDD in Toronto! https://t.co/XTqo1KggDi @JFNankoo @RobertC21093233 @HamidRamezanpou

[Can SARICA @CANSARICA2]

Day two of #FUN24 kicked off with an outstanding presentation by Emilie Franceschini from Aix-Marseille University @univAMU_Europe @LMA_UMR7031. She discussed how some of the dorsal root ganglion neurons are genetically more responsive to focused ultrasound stimulation and the critical role of deformation in FUS response. The session was moderated by Miriam Klein-Flugge @MKFlugge.

[Can SARICA @CANSARICA2]

We’re thrilled to welcome the #FocusedUltrasound Neuromodulation Society to @itrusst #FUN24 in Toronto! Ready for an exciting second day filled with great presentations.

[Can SARICA @CANSARICA2]

Our second invited speaker, Ghazaleh Darmani, delivered an excellent lecture on how #LFPs change in response to #focusedultrasound stimulation in #ParkinsonsDisease patients in the second session that was moderated by Elsa Fouragnan @EFouragnan from @PlymUni.

[Can SARICA @CANSARICA2]

We enjoyed three excellent presentations on #focusedultrasound simulations and new systems in the first session of #FUN24. Thanks to Elly Martin @ellymmartin, Will Grissom @wgrissom, Bradley Treeby for their insights! @cfcaskeyPhD @huiwen_luo @ian_simcock @TulikaNan @IoanaGrigoras4 @cjstagg @UCL_Ultrasound

[Can SARICA @CANSARICA2]

Exciting day in the lab! We've just received our new @Fraunhofer focused ultrasound device. Can't wait to dive into research with this cutting-edge technology! @JFNankoo @RobertC21093233
