Stealing a line from @hubermanlab , this case study is a phenomenal example of what can be learned from a single patient when you "probe with purpose". @PennNSG @PennMedicine

Brain activity associated with breakthrough food preoccupation in an individual on tirzepatide

Nature Medicine - This study provides the first evidence in humans that tirzepatide modulates brain electrophysiology, with changes in low-frequency accumbens power linked to food preoccupation.

For years, concerns about safety have limited the use of focused ultrasounds to one side of the brain. Now, this new large, prospective, multicenter trial confirms the efficacy and safety of bilateral focused ultrasound for essential tremor. @PennNSG jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Safety and Efficacy of Staged, Bilateral Focused Ultrasound Thalamotomy in Essential Tremor

This open-label clinical trial assesses the safety and efficacy of staged, bilateral focused ultrasound thalamotomy in essential tremor.

Congratulation to Drs. Kaplitt, Murray and this one-of-a-kind team of neurosurgeons, neurologists and radiologists whose work will push our field forward and allow us to offer relief to more patients with essential tremor through this minimally invasive technique.

I had the pleasure of joining one of my patients, Jon Male, on his podcast RRx HealthWatch. We discussed his experience with focused ultrasound and the current state of the field. Thanks to Jon and the Reality Rx team for having me and supporting our mission. #NoTremorLeftBehind

Celebrating our 500th focused ultrasound case & Dr. Liming Qiu’s birthday last week was a true pleasure. I’m incredibly proud of our entire team here at Penn, and thankful for the trust our patients put in us! Looking forward to 500 more! #notremorleftbehind

We got to celebrate (soon to be the newest member of our faculty) Dr. Liming Qiu’s birthday with our #500th #focusedultrasound treatment for #essentialtremor, and the outcome speaks for itself. It’s incredible to be one of the first centers to reach the historic 500 club.

This is a testament to the team here at Penn, initiated by my mentor, Dr. Gordon Baltuch, who passed the torch to me not even 3 years ago.

The FDA has approved Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for a range of movement disorders, including essential #tremor and #Parkinsons disease. @halpernc explains how researchers might use DBS to treat a broader range of mental health conditions, like #OCD. spr.ly/6016pvkgC

When Addiction Treatment Fails, Can a Brain Implant Succeed?

Some experts tout deep brain stimulation as a lifeline for people struggling with opioid use. Others question the hype.
