What might the future of deep brain stimulation look like? Not just continuous stimulation, but decoding symptoms in real time and directing stimulation to the right brain circuits. Fascinating perspective article by @andreashorn.org & @julianneumann.bsky.social in @natrevneurol.nature.com:

In #DeepBrainStimulation the two major developments across the last decade have been 1. Adaptive DBS and 2. Connectomic DBS In a @natrevneurol.nature.com article with @julianneumann.bsky.social, we ask: Could the two be united into a common framework? www.nature.com/articles/s41... A 🧵

It has recently been announced that she's now scheduled for a suborbital flight on a Blue Origin private spacecraft. This will make her the second German woman, and the first ever wheelchair user, to leave the atmosphere of our planet. Now, there's even more to this than you might be aware.

1 To predict the behaviour of a primate, would you rather base your guess on a closely related species or one with a similar brain shape? We looked at brains & behaviours of 70 species, you’ll be surprised! 🧵Thread on our new preprint with @r3rt0.bsky.social , doi.org/10.1101/2025...

This is very exciting as it could provide a way to identify stimulation targets for syndromes for which no stimulation data exists at all as long as there is some genetic data. Congratulations!

How should we best model recruitment of axons by deep brain stimulation? Various concepts have been introduced and Konstantin Butenko just introduced a few more in a new publication at Brain Communications: academic.oup.com/braincomms/a...

Konstantin Butenko compares four methods for mapping structural network activations in deep brain stimulation—two simple, two complex; some deterministic, some probabilistic—into @lead-dbs.org for direct use in the Fiber Filtering Explorer. See the methods paper below 👇👇

Super proud and excited to share our preprint. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Great news! Ningfei is a great scientist and a highly valued collaborator. I’m looking forward to working with him in the new capacity.

宁飞，祝你在新的工作单位一切顺利！前程似锦！

Super excited for Ningfei Li to receive the highly prestigious NSFC Excellent Young Scientists Fund – as of yesterday, Ningfei is Full Professor at the Xian University and has joined a new AI institute! We are both excited to continue our collaboration on @lead-dbs.org and connectomic DBS!

The massive list of suspended UCLA grants came out today: 300 NSF and 500 NIH grants. I am miraculously not on the list, but this is devastating. Science will be lost, progress will be frozen, people will lose jobs, and careers in science and medicine are being destroyed. This is not ok.

Is there a brain circuit target for restoring consciousness after brain injury? New work by @rolstonjohn.bsky.social @braincircuits.bsky.social says yes!

We had a wonderful time talking to @rolstonjohn.bsky.social, the Director of Epilepsy Surgery at Brigham & Women's Hospital. We talk about RNS for epilepsy, DBS for coma, traveling waves in the brain, stem cell therapy, closed loop DBS & more! Tune in 👇 stimulatingbrains.org/72-john-rols...

Honored to highlight our work @braincircuits.bsky.social @massgenbrigham.bsky.social Neuro Research Day. Thank you @shansiddiqi.bsky.social @fredschaper.bsky.social Sheena Baratano and Sam Snider for sharing your experience.

How may traveling waves in the brain impact seizure focus detection in functional neurosurgery? How does RNS for epilepsy really work? Are we ready for stem cell therapy in PD? DBS for disorders of consciousness? Find out in a conversation with the one and only @rolstonjohn.bsky.social 👇👇

Work by Tara Arbab, Ingo Willuhn et al. on neural biomarkers in OCD was published in Nature Mental Health.🗨️Arbab about the study: "It's unique that we were able to measure deep brain activity with very high spatial and temporal precision.” @willuhnlab.bsky.social www.amsterdamumc.org/en/research/...

Glad to see this one out - massive effort by Aaron Warren and @rolstonjohn.bsky.social - and a major milestone toward treating disorders of consciousness with DBS! 👇👇

on the same notion but here we see an expansion of that idea. In the linked post, researchers saw that using tDCS set up perhaps a favorable brain state for a drug effect. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Work from @andreashorn.org and colleagues.

This was such a great and inspiring talk. So great to see a clear demonstration of what animal imaging can tell us about the human condition.

Interesting difference in the S&P when looking at it in USD vs in Euro. In USD it’s on an all time high, when expressed in Euro it never recovered after the tariffs (since the USD tanked).

Cool thread! The agranular PFC does a lot of things, it’s one of the oldest cortical regions. Naturally also pain processing and movement. AMN is a good handle on it when using fMRI and as such is involved in diverse functions - cool stim data as well (even if N=2) 👇👇

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.
