Repositioning deep brain stimulation leads targeting specific white matter tracts showed improved outcomes in a recent case study. Tractography helped guide lead placement, leading to OCD remission and depression relief. ow.ly/T3uE50QBtL1

Urgent call to the American public and neuroscience advocates to lobby hard against the 40% cut in NIH Brain Initiative Funding. Spread the word and get active! Parkinson and Alzheimer’s as well as neurodegeneration diseases will be dramatically affected. From the Director: ‘The

Really honored to receive the Deeda Blair award with such an accomplished group of psychiatrist-scientists. Looking forward to study default mode network dynamics underlying OCD and mood symptoms using a combination of imaging and intracranial electrophysiology.

So grateful to the Foundation of the NIH for this award! UCSF Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

New research investigates deep brain stimulation of the ALIC treatment for severe OCD. The findings suggest default mode network suppression mediates clinical benefits by improving cognitive flexibility and reducing compulsive behaviors. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hb…

Researchers identified two ventral capsule targets for brain stimulation implantation, leading to a rapid therapeutic response when stimulated together. This case demonstrates the potential of multi-site neuromodulation for improving OCD treatment. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

New case study provides proof-of-concept that invasive brain mapping can guide personalized neuromodulation for refractory OCD. A step toward more effective, tailored treatments. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Recent research finds two sites in the right ventral capsule (VC) were found to reduce OCD symptoms. Prolonged VC stimulation suppressed high-frequency activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, a region linked to symptom severity. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
