Congrats to David Charles for getting the opportunity to talk about our work evaluating deep brain stimulation in early-stage Parkinson's disease at #ASSFN2022! Vanderbilt Health @VUMCneurology




Really neat Nature Communications study from Ashwini Oswal & Prof. Vladimir Litvak find me @vlitvak.bsky.social with data suggesting that the hyperdirect pathway may be the prominent route of transmission of high beta activity to the STN #Parkinsons nature.com/articles/s4146…

Parkinson's genotyping may help tailor therapy. Sortwell et al. demonstrate rs6265 SNP alterations on the BDNF gene may affect outcomes to different treatments. #DBS #PD.

I'm looking forward to my #CaffeinatedConnection to get to know someone new in @VUMCneurology! Glad you got to meet Sheff Sharp - he is great colleague👍 #VUMCNeuro


We have a post-doc position available in the #BIENlab @VUMC_Neurosurg studying brain networks using human neuroimaging and electrophysiology! Please pass on, DM for more info, and check out the posting: my.vanderbilt.edu/bien/positions… VU Engineering Vanderbilt BME VUIIS VISEVanderbilt


Excited by this collaboration on STN-DBS for early-stage Parkinson’s Disease with Mallory Hacker, PhD, MSCI and David Charles now out in ANA Journals – w/ Nanditha Rajamani, Clemens Neudorfer, Barbara Hollunder Simon Oxenford Peter Konrad and others not on twitter. A 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…


Same here! I am honored to have had the opportunity to work in Andreas Horn's lab at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin alongside this wonderful team of scientists: Nanditha Rajamani, Barbara Hollunder, Ningfei Li, Simon Oxenford, Clemens Neudorfer!! Check out our ANA Journals paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

How do we do DBS @VUMC_Neurosurg, one of the largest centers? New in Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry from #BIENlab: Intraoperative physiology augments atlas-based data in awake deep brain stimulation. Including 451 patients. Danika Paulo Peter Konrad & others. jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/…


It was an honor to present at the University of Louisville Neuroscience Grand Rounds this morning. I am so excited to come home with my very own Louisville Slugger! #UofLNeurosurgery #Neuroscience #MedTwitter UofL Health @UofL UofL Neurosurgery


To treat OCD, Deep Brain Stimulation to the ventral capsule is effective – but the optimal target site remains unclear. In a huge collaborative effort Garance Meyer & Clemens Neudorfer set out to determine it Biological Psychiatry. A 🧵 👇👇 researchgate.net/publication/37…



It was a privilege to discuss Advanced Imaging and Connectomics for DBS alongside Shervin Rahimpour, who gave a great overview of tremor targeting for neuromodulation! An excellent movement disorders course at #ASSFN2024 led by Rushna Ali and Alon Mogilner


I really enjoyed speaking with Andreas Horn alongside David Charles discussing our work evaluating whether DBS in early-stage PD could slow motor progression. Check out our episode on Stimulating Brains! đź§


Thanks to Andreas Horn for unpacking a key finding of our recent Journal of Neurology publication👇! This was a great collaboration that further supports continued investigation into whether early DBS could slow PD motor progression. Springer Nature link.springer.com/article/10.100…
