Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics

Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics at @BrighamWomens @Harvardmed led by @foxmdphd.




A milestone for Parkinson’s care in New England. Dr. Rees Cosgrove and Dr. John Rolston recently completed the region’s first case using the newly approved PTT target therapy, expanding treatment options for patients by addressing a broader range of Parkinson’s symptoms. This innovative approach reflects our continued commitment to advancing neurosurgical care and bringing the latest therapies to patients. #parkinsonstreatment #PTTtarget #FunctionalNeurosurgery








Happy to share that I’ve officially started my #postdoc at the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics in Dr. Michael D. Fox’s lab at Harvard Medical School / Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Grateful to join his inspiring team and excited to contribute and learn—stay tuned for what’s ahead. @harvardmed @BrighamWomens @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology @foxmdphd



In a new study, researchers from @BWHNeurology and colleagues mapped the cognitive effects of deep brain stimulation. The study was published in @alzdemjournals. Read more: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… doi.org/10.1002/alz.70… @calvinwhow @foxmdphd @Brain_Circuits

New research from @harvardmed @brighamWomens @brain_circuits: We evaluated how DBS in Parkinson’s with Alzheimer’s influences cognition. Originally, it looked like DBS was deleterious for cognition in Parkinson’s, but could be beneficial in Alzheimer’s.


“The sense of the sacred is something that has really strong grounding in the human brain,” says Michael Ferguson, Ph.D: archive.ph/TpZNY Great reporting on neurospirituality in Popular Mechanics! I stand by this parting shot: “I really think that we’re just barely scratching the surface on understanding the capabilities of the mind.”

Can a brain injury lead someone to commit a #crime? Brain imaging is increasingly introduced as evidence in criminal trials but it remains unclear which structural injuries play a causal role in criminal behavior. @foxmdphd @Brain_Circuits @BWHNeurology nature.com/articles/s4138…




Congrats to @foxmdphd, whose paradigmatic work on anticorrelated functional networks in the human brain has broken the 10k citation mark! This study has shaped the field. It has also deeply formed my own research, thinking, and career path. 🎉🧠

Our paper on the “sweetspot” for focused ultrasound in essential tremor was finally published last week in science advances! So happy to finally share this work and so thankful to everyone who helped make this happen. Read it here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @MGBneurosurgery
