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.
A milestone for Parkinson’s care in New England. Dr. Rees Cosgrove and Dr. John Rolston recently completed the region’s first case using the newly approved PTT target therapy, expanding treatment options for patients by addressing a broader range of Parkinson’s symptoms. This innovative approach reflects our continued commitment to advancing neurosurgical care and bringing the latest therapies to patients. #parkinsonstreatment #PTTtarget #FunctionalNeurosurgery

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.

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.

Happy to share that I’ve officially started my #postdoc at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics in Dr. Michael D. Fox’s lab at Harvard Medical School / Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Grateful to join his inspiring team and excited to contribute and learn—stay tuned for what’s ahead. @harvardmed @BrighamWomens @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology @foxmdphd

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

Nice summary of the new paper by @calvinwhow @Brain_Circuits on cognitive effects of DBS across Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, now out in @alzdemjournals
In a new study, researchers from @‌BWHNeurology and colleagues mapped the cognitive effects of deep brain stimulation. The study was published in @‌alzdemjournals. Read more: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/ab… doi.org/10.1002/alz.70498 @‌calvinwhow @foxmdphd @‌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!
New research from @harvardmed @brighamWomens @brain_circuits: We evaluated how DBS in Parkinson’s with Alzheimer’s influences cognition. Originally, it looked like DBS was deleterious for cognition in Parkinson’s, but could be beneficial in Alzheimer’s.

Great seeing the neurospirituality circuit mapping work of @neuromichael @Brain_Circuits showing up in @PopMech
“The sense of the sacred is something that has really strong grounding in the human brain,” says Michael Ferguson, Ph.D: archive.ph/TpZNY Great reporting on neurospirituality in Popular Mechanics! I stand by this parting shot: “I really think that we’re just barely scratching the surface on understanding the capabilities of the mind.”

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:
Can a brain injury lead someone to commit a #crime? Brain imaging is increasingly introduced as evidence in criminal trials but it remains unclear which structural injuries play a causal role in criminal behavior. @foxmdphd @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology nature.com/articles/s41380-0…

I thought the biggest impact of anticorrelations was guiding brain stimulation, but apparently I underestimated the musical creativity of @neuromichael @Brain_Circuits

Thank you to everyone @Brain_Circuits for the cake and the surprise celebration. Even bigger thank you to the 10k people who cited this paper!
Congrats to @foxmdphd, whose paradigmatic work on anticorrelated functional networks in the human brain has broken the 10k citation mark! This study has shaped the field. It has also deeply formed my own research, thinking, and career path. 🎉🧠

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.
Our paper on the “sweetspot” for focused ultrasound in essential tremor was finally published last week in science advances! So happy to finally share this work and so thankful to everyone who helped make this happen. Read it here: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia… @MGBneurosurgery
