Should doctors be certified to deliver brain stimulation? @shansiddiqi@Brain_Circuits says yes - kicking off the brain stimulation subspecialty summit (BraSS).
Honored to work with these pioneers of functional neurosurgery @Brain_Circuits@MGBneurosurgery who are developing new treatments for patients with Parkinson’s disease.
What’s the difference between a neurological vs psychiatric disorder? @Brain_Circuits, it’s only the circuit impacted. Honored to become one of the first full Professors of both Psychiatry and Neurology @harvardmed. Excited to help bridge this divide.
We're happy to have Dr. Tanner McMahon from neurosurgery at @BrighamWomens collaborating with our team! The multidisciplinary cooperation of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry at @Brain_Circuits is really special. 🧠🙌
Great showing by @Brain_Circuits at MGB Neuroscience Day. Drs. Shan Siddiqi, Fred Schaper, Joe Taylor, and John Rolston spoke on invited panels. Drs. Aaron Warren and Garance Meyer were selected to present their research on DBS for consciousness and psychosis.
Can connectomic DBS go beyond where to stimulate to inform who and when? Great presentation and discussion @DBSThinkTank with John Rolston and Julian Neumann suggests the answer is yes! @Brain_Circuits
How can DBS to the memory circuit hurt cognition in some patients but improve it in others? New work led by @calvinwhow@Brain_Circuits suggests it’s due to patient age. Surprise - older patients do better across both PD and AD!
Sending off 2 of our best research assistants @Brain_Circuits to graduate programs that are lucky to have them. Congrats Grace and Jessy and we look forward to your ongoing success!
MRI scans are becoming common in the courtroom and show abnormalities in defendants brains. But can any of these abnormalities actually cause #criminal behavior. New paper from @IsaiahNeurology@Brain_Circuits@MGBResearchNews in says YES. Thread below:
I thought the biggest impact of anticorrelations was guiding brain stimulation, but apparently I underestimated the musical creativity of @neuromichael@Brain_Circuits
Is there an optimal lesion target for tremor relief that avoids side effects? @MelissaChuaMD@Brain_Circuits analyzed over 350 patients who received high intensity focused ultrasound to find one. Reproducible across surgeons and centers.
