Fun experience attending the Embodied Minds Summit! Lots of excellent discussions about consciousness, neuroscience, and interoception.

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience by Chong Zhao, Edward K. Vogel, and Monica D. Rosenberg: A unique neural signature of long-term memory encoding from EEG inter-electrode correlation doi.org/10.1162/IMAG.a…

Great experience representing @UCLA at the @AAAS Catalyzing Advocacy in Science & Engineering Workshop! Advocated for neuroscience research in meetings with Senate and House offices, learned about science policy, and enjoyed DC in the springtime ☀️ #MakingOurCASE

This is the first single-session 🧲TMS study with pre/post 🧠MRI in schizophrenia followed by an ⚡️ACCELERATED 5-session🧲TMS study with pre/post 🧠MRI in schizophrenia that reduces nicotine craving and DMN connectivity -> a novel🎯 for 🚭 in schizophrenia

Happy to share our new publication in the Journal of Affective Disorders! We found that an accelerated 5x5 #rTMS protocol (5 sessions per day for 5 days) had similar #depression treatment efficacy to a conventional 6-8 week rTMS protocol. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New blog post! I spoke with @knowamartin (PhD student @MBLScience & @EinsteinMed) about cephalopod neuroscience and behavior 🐙 Noah and I have known each other since middle school, and it was fun learning about his research area. sciencespectrumu.com/rethinking-int…

Had a nice time at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in San Diego this year! Great catching up with friends at the meeting and also picked up some cool art. @SfNtweets #SfN25

Yes, that's a human brain on a cafeteria tray. UCLA fair shows off science cuts under Trump latimes.com/california/sto…

Come by today from 11:30-1:30! #StandUpForUC #ResearchPowersProgress

Upcoming event next week in #Westwood #LosAngeles #LA

Hot off the press! Our new paper in @BrainStimJ shows how 10 Hz r(T)MS induces synaptic plasticity via coordinated pre- & postsynaptic activation and BDNF/TrkB signaling. STDP modeling predicts frequency dependence. Kudos to @GalanisChr & the team! brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

we are currently recruiting participants!

Powerful nonreplication of the sgACC-DLPFC story for TMS, from none other than the originators. First, hats off for academic rigor for @foxmdphd @shansiddiqi and team. Second, my thoughts below. rdcu.be/eCgXd

@hbwardMD Thank you!

@michaelrapostol Congratulations, Michael! Great work! 🎉

🧠 We treat depression with TMS, but don't understand how it works. Our team tracked brain changes during Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy (SNT) and found treatment reduced brain excitability by 40%, with predictive changes by day 3. Progress moving from guesswork to precision

Recently, @TheJusticeDept & @realDonaldTrump cut funding to @UCLA, threatening medical breakthroughs that provide lifesaving treatments. Science improves health, drives innovation, and strengthens our economy. #standupforuc #ResearchPowersProgress mapostol.medium.com/the-cost-of-de…

We are seeking participants in Los Angeles, California aged 18-65 who use cannabis and tobacco regularly. Join our study to explore the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) on reducing cannabis and tobacco use. Free TMS treatment & up to $450 compensation.

📢A lab’s 1st baby-step is always memorable! First #iEEG evidence that #DLPFC #TMS🧲 evokes responses in #sgACC now out @brainstimj: bit.ly/4mX07ei Huge thanks to @IowaNeurosurg @boeslab @NickTrapp13 @xianqing_liu @DrCoreyKeller @UIowaPeds @UIowaNeuro @NIMHgov 💛🖤❤️

1. Our new @JAMAPsych publication shows that provoking symptoms before administering rTMS for OCD and nicotine dependence may enhance clinical response. Read more here & tweetorial below: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…
