@jclauneuro @neuroak @afids_project @developingbrai1 @SarahMattonen @lcanresearch @EMiddlebrooksMD Grateful beyond words for your and @neuroak’s mentorship over the years. First AIMS lab PhD is a big one to carry and excited to see @afids_project grow! Huge thanks as well to exam committee for very thoughtful feedback and time!

So proud of @alaa_t_ for successfully defending his thesis. First PhD grad of the AIMS lab!🎯
Incredibly fortunate to work with him & @neuroak over the last few years on @afids_project.
Thanks also to examiners @developingbrai1 @SarahMattonen @lcanresearch @EMiddlebrooksMD🙏

It was an honor to be on the Stimulating Brains podcast with @andreashorn_ to share both my career journey and the journey of @BSCDBS @bostonsci in Neuromodulation and Deep Brain Stimulation.
I can’t believe it’s been 20 years with an incredible company, team and colleagues.
Stimulating Brains@stimbrains
I had lots of fun talking with @bsc_milad from @bostonsci about all things DBS, image guidance, a typical day in the life and industry vs. academia. Tune in here 👇👇 stimulatingbrains.org/59-milad-girgi…

A unique breakthrough in technology has allowed patients like Mandy Dostie relief from life-long pain.
Read how Dr. Jonathan Lau, a Neurosurgeon at LHSC, was able to perform this Canadian first and help patients like Mandy: lhsc.on.ca/news/you-saved…

Such fun to talk with @HarithAkram about connectomic DBS, brewing beer, building a supercomputer, how he became the most British person I know, brain lesions, averaging the moon numerous times & why photography ~= neuroimaging, sailing and mentorship:

Excited to be giving a talk on @afids_project as part of #OHBM2024's #Neuroinformatics session (6/25 @ 12PM🇰🇷; GB 103) Come 👀 how we're: ➡️pooling 20K+ community curated 🧠 landmarks to 📏 registration accuracy 🎯 and for #QC ➡️creating resources/apps to simplify this process

Super excited that our dysfunctome paper is finally out at @NatureNeuro!
Certainly by far the most important work I have been involved in so far.
Huge congratulations and kudos to @b_hollunder and @NingfeiL for seeing this through. Fantastic tweetorial by Barbara below 👇👇

Intrigued to discover more about how DBS reveals & therapeutically impacts on the dysfunctional circuits behind different brain disorders, from OCD to dystonia? 🪄🧠 So were we! Join us on this deep dive from core to cortex – now out @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s4159… A 🧵

It was great joy to talk w/ @ndosenbach about the early rs-fMRI days w/ @foxmdphd et al. @WUSTL, how @russpoldrack’s #myconnectome led to the @club_scan, why you would choose to wear a pink cast for weeks, and how it feels to revise Penfield’s homunculus.

I was very inspired by the courageous and stimulating story of Jon Nelson, his bravery to speak openly about it and the *incredible* success of DBS for depression (in individual cases and in the hands of @HelenMaybergMD & team at Mt. Sinai)! 👇👇👏👏
Stimulating Brains@stimbrains
In this conversation, Jon Nelson talks about his arduous path as an individual with depression, his life-changing experience undergoing DBS, his path to become a patient advocate and his efforts to defy stigma in mental health 👏👇👇 stimulatingbrains.org/37-jon-nelson-…

@stimbrains @DakotasTwits @JordyTasserie @ScienceAdvances Thanks for pointing this out. We were using a responsive slider which did not seem to deactivate at small screen sizes!

@DakotasTwits @JordyTasserie @ScienceAdvances Thanks! Just saw that, too. Maybe @alaa_t_ has an idea?

In this conversation with Bechir Jarraya and @JordyTasserie they talk about their study on DBS for consciousness in a nonhuman primate model - recently published in @ScienceAdvances - tune in here 👇👇

Voxel overlap is the most commonly used metric to assess correspondence in 🧠 imaging despite many limitations.
We hope that this @afids_project release, curated by @alaa_t_ et al, will facilitate more accurate 📏 assessments (and more..)! 🎯#openscience

I had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Charles Jennings, who served as editor @Nature and founding editor in chief @NatureNeuro about science publishing, the role of editors and about his current work – back in academia at the Ann Romney Center here at @BWHNeurology 👇👇
Stimulating Brains@stimbrains
Charles Jennings is the Executive Director of the Ann-Romney Center here at @BWHNeurology – and before served as an editor at @Nature & founding editor of @NatureNeuro. We talk science publishing (including NeuroImage -> @ImagingNeurosci) and beyond! 👇 stimulatingbrains.org/34-charles-jen…

Nice kinesthetic neuron, here tuned to passive wrist position, identified during awake mapping.🧠🎯⚡️
Credit to neurophysiologist @GilmoreGreydon for the video (and excellent microelectrode recordings of course too). Best with audio on.
