Thrilled to share my very first publication, in Translational Psychiatry! 🧠🧪
We used invasive brain mapping to identify personalized neuromodulation targets for treatment-refractory OCD.

Super excited for Ningfei Li to receive the highly prestigious NSFC Excellent Young Scientists Fund – as of yesterday, Ningfei is Full Professor at the Xian University and has joined a new AI institute! We are both excited to continue our collaboration on @lead-dbs.org and connectomic DBS!

Just dropped in @natcomms.nature.com: we show that re-engaging a thalamic–ventral tegmental circuit with deep brain stimulation can reignite consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Work led by Aaron Warren, with @andreashorn.org @foxmdphd.bsky.social @ others! tinyurl.com/4kz8j89b

A human brain network linked to restoration of consciousness after deep brain stimulation - Nature Communications

In people with severe brain injuries, stimulation restored consciousness by engaging a deep brain circuit for wakefulness—revealing a target that may also guide treatment in stroke and epilepsy.

@foxmdphd.bsky.social's legendary anticorrelation paper has now been cited over 10.000 times and this was reason for a dedicated PNAS cake. Congratulations again, Mike, for this unbelievable pioneering effort that opened up the then novel field of resting-state fMRI!

Probably the most insightful and most important paper on physiomarkers of subthalamic DBS in a long while. Bravo @julianneumann.bsky.social @tsbinns.com and team!!

In this month’s “Liftoff,” Thomas Elston talks about the need for new PIs to develop their ability to cultivate others' thinking, and @taylersheahan.bsky.social explains how opening a lab is a lot like early parenthood.

I learned so much from a very sharp mind in this conversation. Equipped w an undergrad mathematics at Harvard, Medschool at Harvard, PhD at MIT, Terry has begun deeply thinking about dystonia and neuromodulation early on and has come up with a very unique sEEG based approach to treat tough cases.

Stimulating Brains @stimulatingbrains.org · Mar 27

We had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Terry Sanger from CHOC who is a very inspirational figure and innovator in the field of DBS – with a special focus on treating pediatric forms dystonia / cerebral palsy.

Check out our latest release of Stimulating Brains with a introduction recorded by a newcomer 😏! Dr. Sanger talked about how his background in neuroscience, engineering and clinical experiences shaped his path to become one of the top pediatric neurologists. Stay tuned 🥳🥳🥳

Is generalized epilepsy a seizure of the whole brain or a specific brain network?

In our new paper out now in @naturecomms.bsky.social, we investigate this by combining brain abnormalities and DBS with the human connectome.

A generalized epilepsy network derived from brain abnormalities and deep brain stimulation - Nature Communications

Ji et al. identify an idiopathic generalised epilepsy network that links heterogeneously distributed brain abnormalities to a common brain network and deep brain stimulation sites which reduce general...
