Thalamic FUS patients experience vestibular side effects: relevant for clinical management (think ET&balance!) and important pathophysiological insights (self motion networks). Great work Matteo Ciocca BaranySociety

Excited to highlight the Cochrane Review! A big call out to the authors of the included studies who helped so much by giving additional and often unpublished data. I hope that clinicians find the review helpful when managing patients with NPH.
