A recent paper in @natureportfolio.nature.com raised concerns about the lesion network mapping method. Our team of 16 coauthors analyzed >1000 lesions and 34 symptoms and found that "The methodological foundations of lesion network mapping remain sound" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🧠 Deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease achieves its best results when a precisely defined brain network operating in the high beta frequency range is targeted. This was shown by a team @andreashorn.org @bahnebahners.bsky.social in both space and time for the first time.👇

🧠 Die Tiefe Hirnstimulation bei Parkinson zeigt ihre bestmögliche Wirkung, wenn ein präzises Gehirnnetzwerk im Beta-Frequenzbereich (20–35 Hz) stimuliert wird – das zeigt ein Team um @andreashorn.org @bahnebahners.bsky.social jetzt erstmals gleichzeitig räumlich und zeitlich👇

See you in Geneva! We have such an incredible line up of speakers this year!
#optoDBS2026 – registration now open at www.optodbs.ch

As last time, we are expanding scope way beyond just DBS and optogenetics – for instance including TMS and LIFU applications this year!

We had a wonderful time talking to @rolstonjohn.bsky.social, the Director of Epilepsy Surgery at Brigham & Women's Hospital. We talk about RNS for epilepsy, DBS for coma, traveling waves in the brain, stem cell therapy, closed loop DBS & more! Tune in 👇

How may traveling waves in the brain impact seizure focus detection in functional neurosurgery?
How does RNS for epilepsy really work?
Are we ready for stem cell therapy in PD?
DBS for disorders of consciousness?

Is there a brain circuit target for restoring consciousness after brain injury? New work by @rolstonjohn.bsky.social @braincircuits.bsky.social says yes!

@foxmdphd.bsky.social's legendary anticorrelation paper has now been cited over 10.000 times and this was reason for a dedicated PNAS cake. Congratulations again, Mike, for this unbelievable pioneering effort that opened up the then novel field of resting-state fMRI!
