🧠Help Advance Stroke Rehab Research!🧠 Our team at the Univ of Pittsburgh is recruiting participants for an innovative clinical study investigating the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the motor thalamus to improve motor speech function and swallowing in stroke survivors.

Please share this flyer with colleagues or patients who might be eligible and reach out to us for more information. This work is an important step toward restoring essential functions and independence after stroke.

This work is led by Drs. Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez and @ElviraPirondini at the Rehab Neural Engineering Labs and the Departments of @PittNeurosurg and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh.

We’re seeking volunteers who: · Had a stroke more than 6 months ago · Are between 18 and 75 years old · Speak English · Have difficulty with speaking, swallowing, or arm movement

& learn more here: 🧠lnkd.in/ePfPARV3 💬 lnkd.in/e3dKj76C.

Are you interested in speech, swallowing, and neuromodulation? Reach out to us! We're seeking a Research Assistant (with potential to transition into a PhD student) to work on our innovative deep brain stimulation technology. Contact us at jet128@pitt.edu and elvirap@pitt.edu!

Two of the most qualified women in the country ran for president against an unqualified, racist game show host who had a history of committing fraud and sexual abuse. And the country was basically split 50-50. That should tell us some things.

We have really underestimated, as usual, how much this country despises women.

@dr_shlee Horrifying again

I am really excited to share our lab's first paper, published this week! We wrote a review about the most recent advances in motor and sensory recovery using spinal cord stimulation (SCS)⚡️ This includes implanted & transcutaneous SCS #newPI #proudPI sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New research demonstrates that DBS of the motor thalamus improves arm and hand function in individuals affected by #TBI and #strokes, offering a potential breakthrough in neurorehabilitation. @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update #ASSFN #neurosurgery #medtwitter #MedX nature.com/articles/s4146…

@NeuroMechLabX @neuRELengineer @synchroninc Dennis and Ariel?!! Doug lab eras colliding! @dougweberlab

Excited to learn about the Stentrode BCI? Join @neuRELengineer this morning at J3 to look at how we can use the Stentrode's unique geometry to improve signal quality on this groundbreaking device! Don’t miss it! #NeuroTech #Stentrode @synchroninc

Headed to #SfN24 and interested in brain stimulation? Stop by my poster Saturday to see how astrocytes modulate neural activity during intracortical microstimulation bit.ly/4gNOVh3

So happy to see this paper out from my new labmates and collaborators and excited to continue to build on this exciting work! 🧠

Excited of this work and new research direction in the lab! Loss of speech as a consequence of stroke or TBI is a devastating condition. Here we show a novel #dbs approach to restore natural speech!! Looking forward to test our technology in a larger clinical trial (NCT06303869)

🚨New #preprints alert!🚨 Excited to share our work on #DeepBrainStimulation of the motor thalamus to enhance speech & swallowing. This continues our research led by @LillyTang & me, with guidance from @ElviraPirondini & Jorge Gonzalez-Martinez. 🧠1/8 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

I'm excited to share our new paper showing a progressive decline in Aα/β-fiber recruitment during tonic DRG stimulation! Check out the highlights in Doug's post or read the full paper here: lnkd.in/e4VWXkDt
