A human brain network linked to restoration of consciousness after deep brain stimulation - Nature Communications In people with severe brain injuries, stimulation restored consciousness by engaging a deep brain circuit for wakefulness—revealing a target that may also guide treatment in stroke and epilepsy.

Just dropped in @natcomms.nature.com: we show that re-engaging a thalamic–ventral tegmental circuit with deep brain stimulation can reignite consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Work led by Aaron Warren, with @andreashorn.org @foxmdphd.bsky.social @ others! tinyurl.com/4kz8j89b

I️n the most comprehensive review of DBS in epilepsy, with 124 studies, 1,210 patients, and 20 anatomical targets we map where stimulation works best and why.

If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you

This is highly concerning.

Great talk by Mark Richardson on stimulation for IGE at AES. Packed room!

I love AES, but they somehow always manage to mess up my name tag.

First day on @bsky.app, first episode released here: If you are into stimulating brains, give @stimbrains.bsky.social a follow – and tune into my conversation with Daniela Popa and Clement Lena on the cerebellum!

Happy holidays from the #MENDLab! I am grateful to work with an amazing team at the Brigham and Harvard Med School. Exciting things to come!

This is the Lego set I want for the holidays:

In this inaugural episode of a new podcast on Theoretical Neuroscience, Grace Lindsay (@neurograce.bsky.social) talks about her popular computational neuroscience book "Models of the Mind": theoreticalneuroscience.no/thn1/

Closed-loop stimulation in periods with less epileptiform activity drives improved epilepsy outcomes Neurostimulation can reduce seizures in cases of drug-resistant epilepsy, but rarely results in seizure freedom. Anderson et al. show that more frequent stimula

AND! Congrats to Dr. Daria Anderson (not quite here yet) and the rest of the team on this super cool article we just had come out in Brain! Such cool work! #neuroskyence #MedSky 🧪🧠📈https://academic.oup.com/brain/advance-article/doi/10.1093/brain/awad343/7289609
