From someone who has studied this field for over 2 decades, I can comfortably say that virtually everything said here is inaccurate. It is incredibly disturbing to me that someone claiming to be a scientist can talk with such authority on something they clearly know nothing about
Low intensity transcranial focus ultrasound can induce plasticity in the motor cortex of patients with Parkinson’s! The effects are related with the use of dopaminergic medication. Happy to share our results! MDS Movement Disorders Journal Robert Chen …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…
"A random half of panelists were shown a CV and only a one-paragraph summary of the proposed research, while the other half were shown a CV and a full proposal. We find that withholding proposal texts from panelists did not detectibly impact rankings." link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Xia (University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences), Wang, Zeng, Jean-Francois Nankoo, Darmani, Tran, Ding and Chen (Krembil Brain Institute) explore the effects of motor cortical theta-burst transcranial-focused ultrasound stimulation on the contralateral motor cortex! 📜buff.ly/45I7yhb
Exciting day in the lab! We've just received our new Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft focused ultrasound device. Can't wait to dive into research with this cutting-edge technology! Jean-Francois Nankoo Robert Chen
It was a pleasure to participate in the Canadian Focused Ultrasound Meeting and present our brand new data on the selective manipulation of attention & cognitive control using transcranial ultrasound stimulation of deep brain areas in humans. Thanks Jean-Francois Nankoo for the invitation!
We enjoyed three excellent presentations on #focusedultrasound simulations and new systems in the first session of #FUN24. Thanks to Elly Martin Elly Martin, Will Grissom Will Grissom, Bradley Treeby for their insights! Charles F. Caskey Huiwen Luo Dr Ian Simcock Tulika Nandi
Our second invited speaker, Ghazaleh Darmani, delivered an excellent lecture on how #LFPs change in response to #focusedultrasound stimulation in #ParkinsonsDisease patients in the second session that was moderated by Elsa Fouragnan Elsa Fouragnan from University of Plymouth.
Day two of #FUN24 kicked off with an outstanding presentation by Emilie Franceschini from Aix-Marseille University @univAMU_Europe Laboratoire de Mécanique et d'Acoustique-LMA. She discussed how some of the dorsal root ganglion neurons are genetically more responsive to focused ultrasound stimulation and the

The 6th #BrainStimConf is officially underway! Mark George and Harold Sackeim kicked things off with opening remarks, followed by insightful plenary talks from Marom Bikson and Charlotte Stagg. Exciting to see papers from both of my PIs—including my own—among the top downloads of 2024!
Dr. Andres Lozano, Alfonso Fasano, and kalialabs Krembil Brain Institute highlight the results of the first clinical trial of a new treatment for #Parkinsons, bemdaneprocel, which replaces lost #dopamine by generating new neurons from #StemCells. Read more ➡️ uhnresearch.ca/news/injecting… (3/4)
