Thrilled to share our perspective in Nature Mental Health on TMS to the “dark side” of the brain. TMS is usually delivered to the frontal lobes, yet neuroimaging often points out that posterior brain regions are linked to psychiatric illness - maybe valuable new TMS targets? rdcu.be/ev6Xo

🚨🚨 proud partner alert 🚨🚨 check of the illustrious (& handsome) @tomtemprano.bsky.social in an interview today about today’s ruling on restoring queer and dei based grants!! continually proud & impressed by tom & @eqca.bsky.social ‘s work

new paper out in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: a ‘reverse translational‘ model of TMS for Alcohol Use Disorder — we know so little about which TMS parameters will be best to reduce drinking — so, why not leverage mice to test things out rapidly & cheaply? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Someone just sent me this and I cannot support it enough: the creation of the California Institute for Scientific Research (CISR) to offset the orange monster's destruction of federal research. sd11.senate.ca.gov/news/trump-g...

A full house for new TMS targets in Alcohol Use Disorder (think, anything but the DLPFC…) & the MPFC as a target for various psychiatric disorders! Exciting to see so much excitement about exploring new TMS targets

boosting this! still looking for a student/postdoc to give a teaching boost to :)

***great opportunity for senior grad students or postdocs interest in teaching*** I’m looking for a guest lecturer to speak to cover Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder at Stanford on 1/30 (on zoom). Possible honoraria & teaching evals available - if you know anyone please share :)

Inspired by @ariellekeller.bsky.social and created a Starter Pack for those who zap brains! ⚡Let me know if you'd like to be added! go.bsky.app/9MnSuJ6

A fantastic #ACNP2024 catching up with old & new friends, fabulous science and a bonus side quest of finding a lost dog outside my hotel & returning him to his mom! see you all in the Bahamas 😎

hot off the presses 🚨🗞️📰 just in time to close out #ACNP2024!! RCT of 10 days of frontal pole cTBS for cocaine use disorder — reduced cocaine use (100% abstinence 2 mo after real tms!!!) and reduced cocaine cue reactivity — small sample but exciting prelim data! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Hi #ACNP2024 ! second time attendee presenting data on sex differences in TMS outcomes in alcohol use disorder in both mice and humans! come see the poster tomorrow night (M98) for more (spoiler: females do better across species!) also thanks to ACNP for an excuse to make my first blue sky post :)
