“My depression is numbness and pain at the same time.” Can deep brain stimulation restore this body-mind dissonance? @elisa_xu_ describes a change in neural interoception with successful DBS.
🧵1/ Does depression recovery rewire the mind-body connection? Our latest from the Nash Family Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics explores effects of deep brain stimulation for depression on neural interoception. biologicalpsychiatrycnni.org… #NashNeuroscience

Thanks, @SinaiBrain, for hosting our big science party!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS @elisa_xu_ @allisoncwaters @sam_bme @jacobdahillfuchel @sarascherrer Tanya Nauvel @JackieO_PhD, Patricio Riva-Posse, Andrea Crowell @Martijn_Figee_ @sankar_alagapan @crozSciTech @KiSuengChoi @HelenMaybergMD!🎉✨#teamscience
Thanks for the repost, @crozSciTech. We are excited, too!
Very excited about this paper! Depression is a disease that affects brain-body interactions. This great work led by our collaborators @elisa_xu_ and @allisoncwaters shows that cortical signatures of interoception return after DBS therapy (aligned with brain biomarker recovery).

What are the differences in the propagation pattern between networks? Does it follow the ‘principal gradient’ hierarchy?

Did a scholarship change your path too? Throwback 17 years, how values of interdisciplinary research are instilled. Here's to the stunning accomplishments of this powerhouse institute and the people who make it so spectacular. Happy Birthday, @StanfordBioX ! What a great party!
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!
Excited to present our new research dissecting the brain’s response to Deep Brain Stimulation of the Subcallosal Cingulate! bit.ly/SCCDBS-PNAS @PNASNews @Dukeneurosurg @SinaiBrain @GeorgiaTech @DukeEngineering
Read on for more info … 🧵
Back at you, @AndreasSeas. This has been a fruitful collaboration.
Can't echo how much I've learned from mentors like @allisoncwaters, @HelenMaybergMD, @McIntyreDBSLab, and Bryan Howell (just to name a few). #gotogethergofar

📢New paper out in Physiology & Behavior with @nikaradziun & @BrainSelf ! We showed that individual differences in dynamic thermosensation are associated with self-reported anxiety & depression, with differences between hairy & non-hairy skin: doi.org/10.1016/j.physbeh.20… 1/n

in the field of brain rhythms, one of the rock-solid empirical findings is that frequency increases across development, for alpha and mu rhythms.
in this new 〰️preprint〰️, we also look at waveform shape across development & neurodevelopmental disorders: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

If you're hanging around #sfn23 until the end, come hear @sankar_alagapan talk about his xAI biomarker work for #depression DBS with @HelenMaybergMD. Wed at 3pm in WCC 152B in the Nanosymposium on "Depression: Preclinical Models, Human Studies, and Therapeutic Approaches".
Excited to share this paper using new neurotech and explainable AI to advance DBS for treatment resistant #depression (TRD). Team effort including @HelenMaybergMD, @sankar_alagapan and Patricio Riva-Posse. Summary thread!

Excited to share some new results, out just in time for the tail end of SfN! This is our dive into social neuroscience, led by @JoeSimonIV

I can't get enough of these findings! Dr. Nauvel has been tracking changes in cortical #EEG with recovery from depression with DBS; suggests a non-invasive approach to identifying key decision points in treatment. Congrats, TN and @HelenMaybergMD
