Epilepsy study presents a multimodal approach integrating intraoperative thalamic and sub-scalp electroencephalogram recordings with post-implant reconstructions to define neural targets affected by centromedian nucleus stimulation. https://t.co/XOAkl55yFe

Thank you to Drs. Thandar Aung, Dr Donald Crammond, and Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez for their support and guidance on this incredible project!

[Jonathan Ho @JonathanHo23]

Thrilled to share our latest in @NatureComms! We investigate stimulation of white matter surrounding the CM nucleus in generalized epilepsy. Huge step toward personalized neuromodulation! 🧠⚡ https://t.co/C18HYIJkv6

[Jonathan Ho @JonathanHo23]

In patients with DRE, we found that stimulation targeting low‑activity white matter near the centromedian thalamic nucleus—not the nucleus itself—with DBS boosts cortical delta activity and is associated with a decrease in epileptic activity.

Congratulations to MS4 @JonathanHo23 on his publication in @NatureComms!! Jonathan studied the use of deep brain stimulation on the motor thalamus for upper-limb motor recovery after cerebral lesions.

Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury, stroke and other neurodegenerative disorders. https://t.co/OUr3Ehh1zy @MCapogrosso @ElviraPirondini

Our team at @PittTweet is participating in the NSF’s Innovation-Corps training program this spring. If you or someone you know has expertise in/uses a DBS system, please reach out via email or QR-code below (https://t.co/8SWZPvf0Pe) to volunteer for a quick call with us!

Although movement and imagery share population-wide brain responses in motor cortex, a subset of those exists in orthogonal and unique subspaces.

Hello Twitter world🥳! This might sound crazy but today we share a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease!🤯 @scottensel @dona_sere

I really enjoyed working with @natnatkatic @SRaspopovic and @MCapogrosso and am very proud of our results! Restoring natural function through artificial inputs. Does electrical stimulation impact neural processing? We used intraspinal population analysis to answer this question👇

Check out our new #preprint on discriminating levels of #consciousness during anesthesia! We demonstrate that temporal dynamics of functional networks can be a reliable and robust cortical signature of consciousness (1/2) https://t.co/JWd1ECedbR

Super excited about our new #preprints on #DeepBrainStimulation of the motor thalamus to potentiate motor responses.
Huge thank you to our team, especially my co-first author @JonathanHo23 and our mentors @ElviraPirondini and Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez. 1/10

#Stroke is a terrible disease affecting millions of people every year. We now have a new paper demonstrating the use of #DeepBrainStimulation in the motor thalamus to assist with #motorRecovery after stroke! https://t.co/V5O9siud4L

Two stroke patients have regained control of a disabled arm and hand after researchers delivered electrical stimulation to their spines, paving the way toward a medical device that could aid movement.
