Incredibly excited and proud to share my latest dissertation study now published @PNASNews! Here we used quantitative redox biology and neurophysiology approaches to study the role of the mitochondrial redox environment in human sensorimotor function 🧵 pnas.org/content/118/43/e210…

Really proud to support our local #Parkinsons community @ParkinsonsNE Walk the Park event this Sunday. To have my family there to support alongside @BoysTown_IHN, even better! ❤️
IHN was proud to partner alongside @ParkinsonsNE for their annual Walk the Park on Sunday. An event aimed at helping to raise funds and awareness of Parkinson's disease. #Parkinsons #IHN #IHNcommunity #TranslationalMotorImaginglab #neuroscience #neuroimaging

Clinically effective DBS contacts elicit stronger sensorimotor evoked potentials than ineffective ones. Moreover, they better reduce cortical beta synchrony. At #NeuralTraces2024, @SpoonerRK offers possible explanations of why DBS actually works! doi.org/10.1038/s41531-024-0…
Thankful to the organizers of #NeuralTraces2024 for inviting me to share our latest work using combined MEG-DBS recordings in PD patients. This work would not be possible without the amazing patients volunteering their time and efforts to support research! #WorldParkinsonsDay2024
