Should we be more actively working to address levodopa phobia? Long term followup of Levodopa in EArly Parkinson's disease study was just published and it should enlighten our 'shared decision making' especially when we meet people wishing to avoid levodopa. There was no…

Fantastic new study in Science Magazine by #Retune PI Jörg Geiger & Yangfan Peng – tweetorial below 👇👇

New collaborative Retune – CRC TRR 295 lead by PD Julian Neumann and spearheaded by Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin BCCN Berlin PhD student Thomas S. Binns! Invasive pathway interrogation of cortex-basal ganglia coupling in Parkinson's disease.

Preprint 🚨 This one is important for invasive #Parkinson #neurotech of the future. Deep brain stimulation suppresses oscillatory hyperdirect pathway communication. So does dopamine! Check our #Parkinson study spearheaded by Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin #PhD Thomas S. Binns 🧵

Are you aware how big the neurotechnology market is and how fast it is growing? Jim Giordano Georgetown Hoyas presented to us, and yes below these numbers are represented in billions of dollars. Great Neuromodec webcast today. neuromodec.org/past-neuromodu……

Beautiful work of Thomas S. Binns with Julian Neumann ICNeuromodulation Charité on the differential effects of DBS and levodopa at the cortical and subcortical level, bringing us closer to understanding the therapeutic mechanism of these two Parkinson's disease treatments!

Preprint ⚠️ Dopamine modulates the hyperdirect pathway!
Everything you need to know about corticosubthalamic communication and it's modulation by #dopamine and #DBS presented by Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin and BCCN Berlin student Thomas S. Binns of ICNeuromodulation Charité!

This has been a huge collaborative effort by ICNeuromodulation Charité, with massive support from Stefan Haufe QAI Labs Berlin, and funding from DFG public | @[email protected] transregional research consortium Retune – CRC TRR 295 #TRR295 & Einstein Center for Neurosciences Berlin. Of course, many thanks to all collaborators!🎉13/13

🚨New preprint from ICNeuromodulation Charité in collaboration with QAI Labs Berlin!🚨

We investigated pathway-specific therapeutic mechanisms of #dopamine and #DBS on cortex-STN communication using invasive ECoG & LFP recordings in #Parkinson ’s disease.🧵1/

I had a lot of fun and learned a ton talking to Amaza Reitmeier from Medtronic on Stimulating Brains – tune in here:

Awesome work (& tweetorial) championed by Leon Amadeus Steiner on our work related to subcoritcal circuit effects of DBS, published today in Nature Communications. An amazing multi-disciplinary team effort across Krembil Brain Institute Biomedical Engineering @ University of Toronto Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin CRANIA

Wholeheartedly congratulations to Hagai Bergman for receiving #Israel ’s most prestigious #award . 🩷🍾🥂

Happy to share our project now published in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease. We investigated the short-term effect of additional DBS of the substantia nigra (SNr) along with standard STN-DBS with the aim to improve gait impairment and freezing in PD 🧵

Stimulating Brains turns #50!

In this episode, we are flipping the mike – and Michael Fox interviews Andreas Horn! Thanks so much for the continuous support of our podcast – and thanks a lot for tuning in! 👇👇

When I started Stimulating Brains one premise was to not make it about myself. But throughout the 50 episodes, more and more people have asked for a ‘flipping the mike’ episode – so here it is & I hope you like it! Thanks Michael Fox for being the best possible host to do this!

Thanks Brenda Goodman for covering our dysfunctome study at CNN. Interviews with a patient, Darin Dougherty & Sameer Sheth.

Apparently also on TV 📺 today at 2:48p ET.

Excited that our article 👇👇 has been featured on the cover of the march issue of Nature Neuroscience – even more excited that Barbara Hollunder, the first-author of the study, hand-drew the cover herself. [🤫 I think she’s an artist]

Thanks for the fantastic feedback on our paper, everyone.
We are over the moon! 💫
