Don’t miss it!!!

Don’t miss our latest work!! #fMRI dynamic functional connectivity to investigate level of consciousness!!

The best Xmas present! 🎁 Really excited to start this R01 on DBS to augment CST output to maximize motor recovery! It sparked from just an idea, and I will never forget when we tested it for the first time! 💝 Science #neurotech #WomenInSTEM UPMC PM&R RNEL PittResearch

Don’t miss our first work of the new year!! #gaba #neuroscience #WomenInSTEM

#NCMDub24 program is now out!! Don’t miss our session “Neural control of speech: what did we miss in the last 20 years?” with Sergey Stavisky Slutzky Lab Nick Card and Ludo Max!!

🚨Helps us recruit participants for our study exploring the effects of Neurostimulation ⚡️🧠 to improve motor function in people with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)!! Help us beat paralysis 💪@SMAEurope SMA Foundation Genentech University of Pittsburgh RNEL UPMC Physician Resources Pitt Neurosurgery

Our team at University of Pittsburgh is participating in the NSF’s Innovation-Corps training program this spring. If you or someone you know has expertise in/uses a DBS system, please reach out via email or QR-code below (lnkd.in/eM-YRjiM) to volunteer for a quick call with us!

Are you a Neural Engineer interested in doing a post-doc? Are you at SfN??? DM me... let's talk! Multiple post-doc positions available in nprlab.org. Please repost (and thank you!).

Congratulations to MS4 Jonathan Ho on his publication in Nature Communications!! Jonathan studied the use of deep brain stimulation on the motor thalamus for upper-limb motor recovery after cerebral lesions.

SfN 2023 “these guys really think GABA is excitatory?” YES WE DO BABY Elvira Pirondini Finally out after a long process, GABA facilitates sensory inputs in the cervical spinal cord of NHPs Terrific work from Amr Mahrous & Lucy Liang #GABA #SpinalCord 1/2

Three people with a muscle-destroying disease destined to worsen got a little stronger – able to stand and walk more easily – when an implanted device zapped their spinal cord.

Hi X world! This might sound crazy but today we publish in Nature Medicine a paper showing that neurostimulation can revert motoneuron dysfunction produced by a neurodegenerative disease! @scottensel@dona_sere @DrRFriedlander@ElviraPirondini Marco Capogrosso nature.com/articles/s4159…

Extremely proud of Jonathan! He has been leading the DBS projects in the lab and I can’t wait for his future success as a leader in Neurosurgery #proudMentor

We're thrilled to welcome Dr. Elvira Pirondini this coming Monday, March 31! For the Zoom link, please message me or email Becca (see flyer below). 📅 Date: March 31 ⏰ Time: 12:00 PM (EST) 📍 In-person: BMRC Room 301 💻 Virtual: Zoom WVU Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute Sergiy Yakovenko
