🧠 Die Tiefe Hirnstimulation bei Parkinson zeigt ihre bestmögliche Wirkung, wenn ein präzises Gehirnnetzwerk im Beta-Frequenzbereich (20–35 Hz) stimuliert wird – das zeigt ein Team um @andreashorn.org @bahnebahners.bsky.social jetzt erstmals gleichzeitig räumlich und zeitlich👇 youtu.be/ZrREFuDI-as

🧠 Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease achieves its best results when a precisely defined brain network operating in the high beta frequency range is targeted. This was shown by a team @andreashorn.org @bahnebahners.bsky.social in both space and time for the first time.👇 uni.koeln/5LYV7

…well, should there be a difference? Both is terrible, especially if these are truly "random fishermen".. 🙄

I CAN’T BELIEVE VERY TALENTED ARTISTS LIKE KID ROCK AND NICKI MINAJ WERE SNUBBED AGAIN AND WILL BE WALKING HOME WITH ZERO (0) GRAMMYS.

Dear dMRI hive mind: anybody who has the standard 3T HCP DWI sequence as exar & pdf and could share? Somehow cannot find them online. 🙏🙏

Indeed went back on twitter just to see whether this post was real and if so to retweet it. (true, done)

When I was entering the field of DBS, Ludvic Zrinzo said a few things that were simple in retrospect but formulated so clearly that they fundamentally changed how I think of the therapy. I am super grateful about this super insightful interview at @stimulatingbrains.org – tune in 👇👇

I’ve been mentoring a student in Europe who I was hoping would come do a postdoc with our research group in Pittsburgh when she graduated. Today we had the conversation that she isn’t comfortable coming to the US anymore and is looking for options in Europe. It’s sad and yet completely rational.

You heard it here first: Donald Trump’s 2025 corruption wrapped.

This clip is great. The fact that this view isn't the default amongst scientists is so depressing.

Finally some good news 🧀

Merry Christmas from the Network Stimulation Institute in Cologne. And yes, these are DBS electrodes hanging at our Christmas tree.

See you in Geneva! We have such an incredible line up of speakers this year! #optoDBS2026 – registration now open at www.optodbs.ch As last time, we are expanding scope way beyond just DBS and optogenetics – for instance including TMS and LIFU applications this year!

Deep brain stimulation can improve Parkinson’s disease symptoms, but selecting the optimal stimulation contact still relies on laborious trial-and-error.

A small but significant step: Dutch national broadcaster NOS is leaving X. “The volume of hateful comments and disinformation on X is enormous and flows freely. This also applies under our own posts, meaning we unintentionally contribute to their spread” over.nos.nl/nieuws/nos-p...

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago. Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.

“Speaking in English, and reaching a US audience directly, the pope reiterated the Catholic belief that every Christian will ultimately be judged on how they welcomed "the foreigner". (Luke 10:25-37)

Blown away after visiting INM-1 led by Katrin Amunts this Monday – Markus Axer and her showed us their setup of acquiring whole-brain slices (e.g. 7,000 of them to make up Bigbrain 1) – and the mesmerizing effects of polarized light on cryosectioned (raw) brain sections as can be seen in the video.

Super happy to have one of the official iconic BigBrain trophies on my desk after giving a keynote at the recent HIBALL summit. Even though it was a nuisance and led to lots of issues in the BigBrain 1 space, this uniquely skewed brain shape is now iconic and went into the annals of neuroscience.
