"To go from a place where these models have never been deployed in the real world to having that high a percentage of people feel like it was acceptable, and some subset really feel like it improved their symptoms, to my view, was quite striking." movementdisorders.org/Moving-Along/M…

From adaptive DBS and AI to probiotics, neuroimaging, and new ataxia therapies, the latest Moving Along issue covers key advances shaping the field.  Read the March 2026 issue: movementdisorders.org/MDS/Moving-Alo…

Thanks, @ToddMHerrington, for the enlightening discussion on adaptive DBS. Looking forward to the next steps and future indications. @movedisorder @WashUNeurology movementdisorders.org/Moving-Along/M…

If I were starting my clinical fellowship again today, this is what I would do

WashU Medicine Neurology ranks No. 2 in NIH funding among all neurology departments in the U.S.! We would like to express our profound gratitude to our faculty, staff and trainees for their relentless hard work and innovative research. Read more: bit.ly/4rqoNxP

Supportive features are more common in PD (levodopa resp), while exclusions/red flags cluster in atypical parkinsonism. But some “red flags” still show up in PD. Criteria may need refinement and better biomarkers. nature.com/articles/s4153… @WashUNeurology @movedisorder @Nature

Wonderful to connect/reconnect with such an incredible community of movement disorders colleagues. @AlissaHigMD @dilucadaniel @RoyCLinMD @AMahajanMD @movedisorder #PASCongress

@AbhiLenka11 @AlissaHigMD @RoyCLinMD @AMahajanMD @movedisorder Always great to see you, @AbhiLenka11 !

Our work,”Quality Analysis of Online Facebook Video Materials on the Application of HIFU in ET,” was selected for a Guided Poster Tour at #MDSPAS2026. Grateful to Dr. Chitnis and Dr. Capto for stopping by and for the thoughtful discussion and a special thank you to my mentor.

Wonderful work by @NeuroLinaO and @LauraXavierMD at the MDS-PAS meeting exploring social media perception of MRgFUS in ET. @movedisorder @WashUNeurology

Wonderful work by WashU @ndosenbach with major implications for treatment and neuromodulation. @movedisorder @WashUNeurology

Abstract submissions for BRAZIL NEURO26 are now open. This is a unique opportunity to present your scientific work and enjoy Rio de Janeiro, the Wonderful City. Full information, rules, and submission guidelines are available here congressoabneuro2026.com.br/site/neuro2026…

Fantastic CPC from four of my PGY-4s Nathan, Tae, Rachel, Ammar presenting mystery case rare form NBIA spectrum dystonia-parkinsonism, PLA2G6-associated Neurodegeneration (PLAN) with faculty, Daniel Di Luca. Our trainees have incredible exposure to the full breadth of neurology.

If you write a review article, please try to educate the reader rather than vomiting up the literature. Many can summarize the evidence, but few can do so in an informative and didactic way. There are too many reviews out there. Try to make yours unique and meaningful.

Did you ask Santa 🎅 why do some dystonia patients respond to GPi-DBS within weeks while others take months? Well, give ME the milk and cookies 🥛🍪, because we investigated the networks differences predicting EARLY improvement after DBS. @MDJ_Journal tinyurl.com/ym674m25

Thanks for sharing @JackyGanguly . Large scoping review led by Nikolai Reyes. Great insights into movement disorders in 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. @WashUNeurology @MDCP_Journal

So honoured to be highlighted in the Meet the Researcher section by @AFTDHope. Grateful to contribute to the FTD research community. theaftd.org/posts/ftd-scie…

Wonderful study by @karaannjohnson that highlights the potential of ERNA to guide DBS programming in dystonia. Hopefully this can help navigate the challenging course patients and clinicians face when trying to optimize a new device …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…
