Parkinson’s disease involves two major abnormalities in subthalamic nucleus activity: 1️⃣ Excessive beta (13–30 Hz) rhythms 2️⃣ Increased neuronal firing Beta can be measured 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 surgery using deep brain stimulation electrodes.

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

A neuron can only do two things: Fire. Don’t fire. Firing is the neuron’s output, and most theories of neural computation treat that output as the brain's core information signal. 🧵

Imagine you run an experiment with 50 subjects and find a significant effect just below p < 0.05. Another research group tries to replicate your finding, so they also recruit 50 people. If your methodology was perfect, what’s the chance the replication succeeds? 95%? 80%? It’s only 50% 🤯 👇🧵

We were blown away by the public response to our findings that the infant brain can store memories. Many people wrote to share with us their first memories. To help us capture these reports, we created a short, anonymous survey. We hope you might also consider taking it. Please share with others! 🧠🧪

Excited to have my PhD project paper exploring the network mechanisms of neuromodulation accepted for publication! We show how deep brain stimulation and medication exert a shared modulation of motor network synchrony in Parkinson's disease.
