Congrats @hi_doctornick @michelle_avina !! So proud 🙌

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

This project was a major lab effort over a long haul and I'm thankful for everyone that contributed to it; special thanks to Michelle Avina (2nd author) who has played a critical role for a looong time.

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

Stoked the lab made it to the front cover of @APAPsychiatric July's edition! Well done @RuiyangGe and team! Thanks, @BrainCanada 🥂🎊🎉 "Predictive Value of Acute Neuroplastic Response to rTMS in Treatment Outcome in Depression: a TMS-fMRI Trial" https://t.co/GCo8vnZ4kf

[UBC Department of Psychiatry @UBC_Psychiatry]

For our final talk on @UBC_Psychiatry Research Day, Dr. Fidel Vila-Rodriguez @NinetLab is presenting on "Concurrent TMS-fMRI as a tool to interrogate the mechanism of
action of rTMS in depression"

Thanks to all our fantastic speakers who presented today!

[Journals of The American Psychiatric Association @APAPubJournals]

MRI study examining how rTMS works: researchers @NINETLAB @DMCBrainHealth found that in patients with treatment-resistant depression, brain response during the first rTMS session was associated with the likelihood of getting better with a full rTMS course. https://t.co/YM5DwsMmNN

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

This work was led by @RuiyangGe, with invaluable contributions by Afifa Humaira, @Liz_cg_, and Dr. @GolnoushA from the lab. Collaborators Drs. @Frangougroup @BecketTodd Erin MacMillan Sean Nestor and Laura Barlow. 🙏🙏🙏 7/8

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

Our latest paper is out in @APA_Publishing American Journal of Psychiatry! In this study, we explore the predictive value of rTMS-induced changes in functional connectivity for folks with treatment-resistant depression using concurrent rTMS-fMRI. 1/8 https://t.co/mSPGLJK9lW

[VCH Research Institute @VCHResearch]

With the help of patient partner Lisa, Dr. Fidel Vila-Rodriguez @NinetLab led a first-of-its-kind study that compared side effects associated with rTMS treatments & translated the findings into an infographic for patients: https://t.co/I1DfUVoy48 @DMCBrainHealth @UBC_Psychiatry

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

Big day in BC for #TMS for #depression. The Health Technology Assessment recommendation is out "It is recommended repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation be publicly provided for treatment-resistant depression." @ubcprez @DMCBrainHealth @HlthResearchBC @VCHResearch

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

Happy New Year from the newly minted Interventional NeuroPsychiatry Clinic part of the lab now. Running #TMS, TMS-fMRI and more to be announced soon. Remarkable team (part if it here: Quincy, Kyle, Annika, Afifa and myself all eye-smiling 😷) @DMCBrainHealth @VCHResearch

[NINET Lab @NinetLab]

#rTMS is back in the lab! I'm stoked to start recruitment for our first full-on patient-oriented pragmatic trial "PORT" in #depression. This is a trial co-lead by Patient Partner @LisaRidgway8 and myself. We got support from @BCSUPPORTUnit and we are finally recruiting!

[Dr. Golnoush Alamian @GolnoushA]

Congrats @afifaalex @LisaRidgway8 @NinetLab and the whole team for this great work!

- We created an infographic describing the trajectories of pain during #rTMS and variables associated with it. We are sharing it with everyone in case you find it helpful
