New paper out 🧠 We show that prepulse inhibition is dynamically modulated by posture, being strongest during quiet standing and reduced under higher postural demands. This supports a functional link between sensory gating and postural control. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Can a brainstem reflex tell us how well you balance? Our new study shows that prepulse inhibition varies with postural load—opening the door to use PPI as a potential marker of postural control. Read the preprint 👇 dx.doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.… #gait #balance #neurophysiology

Our Racial Justice service followed by our Health Promotion Day-a success! Grateful 4 the Drs, nurses & pharmacists who volunteered. NHS England says: Black, Asian, & minority ethnic communities, & those in other groups like the homeless are most impacted by health inequalities.

🚨 Exciting news for mitochondrial disease research! Abliva's KL1333 Phase 1a/b study, published in @Brain1878, showed the drug is safe and demonstrates early signs of efficacy. A milestone for rare disease therapeutics! Read more: academic.oup.com/brain/article-…

[Human blink reflex] Ciocca et al.: "This is the first report of a vestibular prepulse inhibition of the blink reflex." Open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.clin…

Thrilled to share our new findings on vestibular prepulse inhibition of the blink reflex. A promising neurophysiological marker for brainstem-level vestibulo-motor integration! @HosliSarah @ZaeemHadi @DrMoSahib @BarrySeemungal @ImperialBrains @ClinicalNeuroph

Excited to highlight the Cochrane Review! A big call out to the authors of the included studies who helped so much by giving additional and often unpublished data. I hope that clinicians find the review helpful when managing patients with NPH.

Thalamic FUS patients experience vestibular side effects: relevant for clinical management (think ET&balance!) and important pathophysiological insights (self motion networks). Great work @ciocca_matteo @BSociety25913

Excited to share our last study exploring how MRgFUS impacts the vestibular system, potentially paving the way for new therapies In Parkinson’s disease and TBI. Proud to contribute to this important work! @ImperialBrains @BarrySeemungal @VestibularNeuro

Excited to share our preprint on Tandem Standing and 360-Turning as a quick and effective measure to differentiate patients with PIGD subtype in PD. @ciocca_matteo @ZaeemHadi @BarrySeemungal @ImperialBrains @VestibularNeuro

🧠 New study alert! 📚 Our research (10.1002/ana.26945) uncovers self-motion illusions in MRgFUS thalamotomy patients. Exciting implications for mapping brain networks & treating neurological conditions! @ANA_journals @ImperialBrains @VestibularNeuro
