Elektrofysiologische metingen in de hersenen van een ongekend groot aantal OCD-patiënten leveren belangrijke nieuwe inzichten op. Geweldig artikel over ons werk onder leiding van Tara Arbab!

During the Dutch radio program, Yolande Pijnenburg discusses a Harvard study that shows lithium naturally occurs in the brain, might protect against neurodegeneration, and what this could mean for Alzheimer’s research. 📻 @eenvandaag.nl @alzheimerams.bsky.social www.nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/e...

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/...

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) wordt al jaren ingezet bij Parkinson 🧠. Minder bekend zijn de kansen die het biedt bij psychiatrische aandoeningen. In ‘Uitgelegd’ vertelt psychiater Roel Mocking hier meer over: #DBS #WereldHersendag @amsterdamumc.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=nusc...

How do brain disorders affect the brain's communication networks? 🧠 Research by @vuamsterdam.bsky.social suggests that disorders involve widespread alterations across the entire brain, rather than local changes. This offers a new way to understand brain health. www.amsterdamumc.org/en/research/...

Our Odile van den Heuvel presenting at the "Stimulating thoughts" symposium at @amsterdamumc.bsky.social @amsneuroscience.bsky.social!

🏢 Her Majesty Queen Máxima officially opened Research & Diagnostics Center (RDC) Adore yesterday. In this new building, onco- and neuroscientists will work together to accelerate the development of better, more affordable, personalized treatments for patients. www.amsterdamumc.org/en/research/...

It was a blast to organize the Translational Neuroscience Network (TN2) Symposium last Thursday, with more than 100 participants and a diverse program. A special thanks to all the speakers and everyone involved in the organization!👉 Read the recap on our website! www.amsterdamumc.org/en/research/...

New perspective on MS: astrocytes, not myelin, as primary target? Marjo van der Knaap and Rogier Min from the Amsterdam Leukodystrophy Center have studied astrocytes for years. In a perspective article, they present a novel insight into the origin of MS: www.amsterdamumc.org/en/research/...
