We love research! Our lab manager Megan spent the morning with @kailastipancic, a PhD student at #MGHIHP who is using TMS to learn more about how speech and chewing affect the brain

Professor Jordan Green and colleague Panying Rong (U of Kansas) just published a study of facial motion capture data of individuals with #ALS. The conclusion? Tongue-jaw coupling may be the "critical physiological factor" in loss of speech-motor control. pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/20…

When this tweet happened, I wasn’t sure whether to dance or cry. One of the people I most admire had just tweeted about me, but it laid bare that I have ALS and am dying. I chose to dance. And have been dancing ever since. Join me. Follow this journey. Help make our cure real.
A story worth sharing: Twelve years ago, Brian joined my first presidential campaign. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with ALS and launched @iamalsorg to find a cure. Brian and Sandra wake up every day believing that we can win this fight—and that makes me hopeful, too.

Replying to @AnaZaninotto
@AnaZaninotto and @jgreen4 of the @SFDLab have recently published a systematic review on the use of #tDCS in to boost adaptive neuroplasticity in patients with #TBI. Studies show tDCS can lead to improvements in coma recovery sales, cognition, and neurophysiological measures.
