Thanks to @andreashorn_ for unpacking a key finding of our recent Journal of Neurology publication👇! This was a great collaboration that further supports continued investigation into whether early DBS could slow PD motor progression. @SpringerNature link.springer.com/article/10…
I am super excited by this figure just published by @MalloryHacker et al. – why? Let’s unpack… 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10…

I really enjoyed speaking with @andreashorn_ alongside @DavidCharlesMD discussing our work evaluating whether DBS in early-stage PD could slow motor progression. Check out our episode on @stimbrains! đź§ 
It was great fun to talk with @MalloryHacker & @DavidCharlesMD on whether or not DBS for subthalamic nucleus could be involved in slowing of motor progression. A long-standing effort that goes back to Alim-Louis Benabid. Tune in here 👇👇 stimulatingbrains.org/57-mal…

It was a privilege to discuss Advanced Imaging and Connectomics for DBS alongside @rshervin, who gave a great overview of tremor targeting for neuromodulation! An excellent movement disorders course at #ASSFN2024 led by @RushnaAli6 and @Alonmogilner

To treat OCD, Deep Brain Stimulation to the ventral capsule is effective – but the optimal target site remains unclear. In a huge collaborative effort @garance_meyer & @c_neudorfer set out to determine it @BiologicalPsyc1. A 🧵 👇👇 researchgate.net/publication…

How do we do DBS @VUMC_Neurosurg, one of the largest centers? New in @JNNP_BMJ from #BIENlab: Intraoperative physiology augments atlas-based data in awake deep brain stimulation. Including 451 patients. @danikapaulomd @PeterKonrad12 & others. jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/2…

Same here! I am honored to have had the opportunity to work in @andreashorn_'s lab at @ChariteBerlin alongside this wonderful team of scientists: @NaN_Value, @b_hollunder, @NingfeiL, @simonoxen, @c_neudorfer!! Check out our @ANA_journals paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Replying to @andreashorn_
What I particularly loved about the project was the collaborative nature – it all started with @MalloryHacker visiting my lab at @ChariteBerlin for three months and @NaN_Value & the others teaching her how to use @leaddbs (I was already at @Brain_Circuits in Boston).

It's hard to believe today marks 20 (!) years since I submitted my 1st @NIH grant. A lot has changed from the days of photocopying final content onto form pages, ink signatures scrambling to get our submissions to @FedEx in time. Here are a few lessons from along the way👇1/7

I'm looking forward to my #CaffeinatedConnection to get to know someone new in @VUMCneurology! Glad you got to meet @SheffSharp - he is great colleague👍 #VUMCNeuro
I had my own #CaffeinatedConnection with Sheff Sharp, a research coordinator with movement disorders at @VUMCneurology, where we talked about brains (including #knitting brains!) and hiking! @BaristaParlor Wonderful to meet new-to-me colleagues at #VUMCNeuro

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to present in Boston next week!
Excited to have @MalloryHacker and @DavidCharlesMD visit the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics at @BWHNeurology on Oct 11th – the talk will be hybrid, plz reach out to @laurenhart098 for the link or (Bostonians) address at Brigham.

Parkinson's genotyping may help tailor therapy. Sortwell et al. demonstrate rs6265 SNP alterations on the BDNF gene may affect outcomes to different treatments. #DBS #PD. @CarylSortwell @MalloryHacker @PeterKonrad12 @josephneimat @AllysonStrauss @JackLipton video: @PinckardMd

Incredibly proud of my “softspoken, nonchalantly rumpled” colleague and friend, whose ethics and integrity are honorable.
