The McIntyre Lab

Here is a schematic of their updated model!

A new paper by co-first authors Hengji Chen & M. Sohail Noor @noor_neuro, along with Clayton Bingham and Cameron McIntyre, on genetic algorithm-based optimization of a detailed STN neuron model! @Dukeneurosurg @DukeEngineering pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38863430/

Here is a figure summarizing some of @noor_neuro's key findings! @ASSFNeurosurg @SfNtweets @ParkinsonDotOrg @ASENT_Org #Parkinsons #Neuroscience #Neurotwitter

New paper alert from M. Sohail Noor @noor_neuro, visiting student Alexandra Steina, and Cameron McIntyre dissecting the origin of ERNA in the basal ganglia! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38608373/ @Dukeneurosurg @DukeEngineering #neuroscience @ASSFNeurosurg @DBSThinkTank @SfNtweets

Thanks @AndreasSeas for this distillation of our latest collab using #DBS evoked potentials to optimize treatment for #depression. @HelenMaybergMD and I are proud of your accomplishment!

Going to #2023CNS and interested in #MachineLearning? Join us Sept 13 at 2 PM to learn from experts in ML, and try your hands at some neurosurgery-specific ML code! @CNS_Update @MartinaStippler @lola_chambless @eladlevymd @DamirezFossett @GarniBDarian @Dukeneurosurg @duke_nsig

Going to #2023CNS and interested in #MachineLearning? Join us Sept 13 at 2 PM to learn from experts in ML, and try your hands at some neurosurgery-specific ML code, no prior experience needed! @CNS_Update @Dukeneurosurg

Looking forward to #bcwmh2023 and discussing pragmatic applications of these methods to treat complex disorders impacting #mentalhealth. Excited to attend in person to talk about our #depression #DBS #imaging #biomarker work!

We are a only a month away from our in person-symposium! The deadline to register for this event is this Saturday, Sept. 9th. Students will have opportunities to meet and learn from orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons, and neurosurgeons. 🏥🩺 Sign up at: linktr.ee/flxsus

Curious how machine learning can help triage patients with low back pain? Come to #2023CNS to hear about work by @abdelbarrspine @Dukeneurosurg, and participate in hands-on coding! @CNS_Update @MartinaStippler @lola_chambless @eladlevymd @DamirezFossett @GarniBDarian @duke_nsig

Interested in the application of machine learning in neuroengineering/functional neurosurgery? Come to #2023CNS to hear about work by Dr. Parag Patil @umichneuro! @CNS_Update @MartinaStippler @lola_chambless @eladlevymd @DamirezFossett @GarniBDarian @duke_nsig @dukeneurosurg

And another one! Cool paper by @mv_petersen and Dr. McIntyre on tractography estimates of the pallidothalamic, cerebellothalamic, and corticospinal tracts! #neuroanatomy @Dukeneurosurg @DukeNeuro @DukeEngineering pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36772800/

Job Negotiation for Neurosurgeon-Scientists. What do you need to know? What are the most important considerations? First guide of this guide, now in @JNS. Led/conceived by @RolstonJohn, with @GregoryZipfel. thejns.org/view/journals/…

Officially promoted to Associate Professor! 🥳 @NeurosurgUCSF #newyearnewtitle #WINS #Promotion #AcademicTwitter

#PaperAlert! McIntyre Lab alumna Kelsey Bower just published another awesome paper in @ASSFNeurosurg quantifying variability associated with postop localization in #DeepBrainStimulation! Check it out here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37379823/ @Dukeneurosurg, @DukeUBME

#PaperAlert! Cameron and collaborators at @HarvardMed, and @MGHNeurosurgery published on the #biophysics principles of computationally modeling #DeepBrainStimulation! Check it out here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37204360/ @DukeNeurosurg @DukeUBME

Nice debate surrounding whether #deepbrain stimulation (DBS) folks with cognitive and other issues can be operated. Some back and forth on a paper in @MDJ_Journal and it reminds me of one of our most requested slides and articles on the DBS Fast Track Process. PLEASE USE A MULT-D TEAM FOR DBS SCREENING. Have the dialogue as it matters. No statistic or CHATGPT can make up for in person evaluations and discussions when considering the complex process of DBS screening. Here is a little of the back and forth from critics of recent article by Block. @DBSThinkTank @leaddbs @dbssocietyorg 'However, caution is needed in interpreting data about cognitively impaired patients, due to the risk of focusing our judgment mainly on motor outcome, forgetting the high rate of surgical side effects, suboptimal functional outcomes, and mid-to-long-term risk of cognitive worsening. Long-term studies with comprehensive neuropsychological and quality of life evaluations are needed to inform clinical practice standards.' …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…
