[DBS study of Parkinson’s disease] Shreve et al.: “Parkinson’s neural oscillations and coupling were greater in the more affected subthalamic nucleus and were evident in 98% cases.” doi.org/10.1016/j.clin… @Stanford_Neuro #DBS #STN #PD #ClinicalNeuroph

Hope vs. Hype: Will closed loop technology provide more meaningful improvement compared to directional leads in deep brain stimulation? New discussion piece from @HBSlab & Aristide Merola prd-journal.com/article/S1353-…

Podcast: Helen Bronte-Stewart says new approaches, such as closed-loop deep-brain stimulation, & new digital health technologies are reshaping the field, leading to new understandings & new treatments for #Parkinsons. …g-stanford-engineering.simplecast.com/episodes/the-f…

This #WorldParkinsonsDay, we’re joining 80+ partners to introduce The Spark, the global symbol for Parkinson’s Awareness. Together, we're speaking out to end the world’s fastest-growing neurological disease. Learn more and share your Spark today: worldparkinsonsday.com #thespark

New paper from the lab! Higher interhemispheric STN beta coherence correlates with worsening bradykinesia and disease progression, unlike local STN beta dynamics. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an… @Stanford_Neuro

We are currently recruiting new Research Assistants to participate in cutting-edge research in #ParkinsonsDisease! Please apply here for more information: careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/research-… @Stanford_Neuro

The Human Motor Control and Neuromodulation Lab under Dr. Bronte-Stewart @HBSlab is seeking a neural engineering postdoctoral scholar to investigate neural closed loop deep brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease. Learn more and apply: med.stanford.edu/bronte-stewart…

96 individuals with Parkinson's Disease performed a 30 second QDG-RAFT task to reliably track disease progression and cardinal motor symptoms, including rigidity. Learn more here! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35694934/ @Stanford_Neuro

This analysis shows that raw IMU data can provide valuable information to help physicians track and manage patient disease progression. Big thanks to @mrlee543 @SeagersKirsten @johanping @kidzik and @StanfordNMBL for this great work!

In fact, a single IMU on the ankle performed within 4% of the top performing 3 IMU set. Both the lumbar and ankle IMUs were rated highly wearable by patients. Check out the open source data and software at: github.com/stanfordnmbl/i…

Detecting #freezingofgait outside the clinic has become imperative for tracking disease progression in PD. Watch this great presentation on the minimal set of wearable IMUs needed to objectively detect FOG with high clinical utility! drive.google.com/file/d/1egF7Kw…

Great work team! @kehnemoomoo @MattPetrucciPhD @KevinWilkins24

New publication from the lab! While the sequence effect worsens over time in repeat visits with disease progression, it improves in response to open and closed-loop STN stimulation. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are also hiring a Research Scientist! Please apply here: careersearch.stanford.edu/jobs/research-…

Truly a great team effort! Check out: "Assessing inertial measurement unit locations for freezing of gait detection and patient preference"

We are currently hiring for 3 new positions! Seeking a post-doc and 2 RAs interested in decoding the pathophysiology of #movementdisorders. Please see med.stanford.edu/bronte-stewart… for details and to apply! @Stanford_Neuro
