[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

To allow a big timezone difference, our virtual speaker series next week will be on Wed October 15 at 8am EST starring @rubykong92 . The title will be: "Individual-specific brain parcellations for brain stimulation." DM me your email if not already on our list for the Zoom link.

[Translational-Neuro @TranslationalNI]

Join our 15th event on September 23! We're thrilled to welcome Dr. @rubykong92 from National University of Singapore to introduce their work on "Individual-specific Brain Parcellations for Clinical Applications". Scan the QR code to participate for free!

"Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do."
As someone searching for purpose, Feynman's words stopped me in my tracks. Maybe the purpose isn't some distant title, it's in the relentless curiosity to understand how the brain and our treatments actually work

[Robert Hermosillo @DrScienceMan1]

Imagine fighting depression for decades…
Every treatment failed.

Then, this. 🌱

This is what hope looks like. 💡

In this correspondence, authors recommend 🧠 stim studies target positive & negative nodes of an anxiosomatic circuit using varied stimulation frequencies & 🧠states to refine anxiosomatic protocols before clinical trials

@DrDamienFair @ndosenbach Would be really interesting to see how this lines up with a causal pain network derived from pain causing lesions : https://t.co/SQpadfrZlt

We present the first population-specific brain charts for China, developed through the Chinese Lifespan Brain Mapping Consortium (Phase I) using high-quality MRI data from 43,037 participants (aged 0-100 years,384 sites). (1/6)

If your actions do not reflect the things that matter most to you, how might you bring those things closer into connection? What would you be willing to feel to come back into alignment?

Inspiring days at Lviv hospital with great talks by Ilan Harpaz-Rotem and @NoahSPhilipMD along with successful completion of the first TMS hands-on training day.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation goes around the world. This technology can do enormous good. Motor threshold skills are the foundation.

[Ryan Webler, PhD @ryanwebler45]

Thanks to @shansiddiqi who derived the target and to my Shanghai colleagues for pulling this off!

First clinical trial to test the anxiosomatic circuit target in an anxiety-disorder sample. Open-label accelerated anxiosomatic circuit aiTBS yielded substantial reductions in anxiety that persisted throughout the study duration (one month post-tx). https://t.co/IiWzRKwnD8
