New in @CellCellPress, the @halpernc, @bijanpesaran, and @scangos labs collaborated on a paper identifying how human orbitofrontal neural activity is linked to obsessive-compulsive behavioral dynamics.

The Halpern Lab’s paper in @PNASNews sheds light on #DBS using in vivo imaging to optimize circuit control in multiple disorders of the #brain, including #obesity, eating disorders, #addiction, #OCD, & #Parkinsons. @PennMedicine @halpernc bit.ly/33M4vJd
Casey H. Halpern retweeted
The FDA has approved Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for a range of movement disorders, including essential #tremor and #Parkinsons disease. @halpernc explains how researchers might use DBS to treat a broader range of mental health conditions, like #OCD. spr.ly/6016pvkgC

The work @halpernc has been doing with #DeepBrainStimulation was included in this new article from @undarkmag!

Cravings that precede loss of control (LOC) over food consumption present an opportunity for intervention in binge eating disorder (BED).
One of the key note talks at East @DBSThinkTank by @halpernc @Penn
Key points:
- Used responsive deep brain stimulation
- Nucleus accumbens (NAc) electrophysiology correlated with food cravings
- He showed physiology preceding LOC in eating in 2 subjects with binge eating
- Increased NAc low-frequency oscillations were prominent during food cravings
- Oscillations guided DBS
- Improved self-control of food intake and weight loss

A new piece from @WIRED broke down @halpernc's work using #DeepBrainStimulation to treat a patient's OCD.
The patient, Amber Pearson, also details her experience before and after this new procedure to tackle both epilepsy and OCD with a single device.

Very proud of our work and even prouder of our amazing patient! With Younghoon Nho, Cammie Rolle, @halpernc, @SuthanaLab and outstanding collaborators! wired.com/story/a-personaliz…
Ps: obviously they used an image of a random DBS implant, not our patient hahaha 😅

Great paper by @RobertSEisinger showing the impact of DBS on weight loss in PD. Weight loss can be a very difficult symptom to manage
In a new publication for @ParkinsonismD, @halpernc, @DanBarbosa39, and Liming Qiu helped examine how weight loss and survival correlate after a patient receives #DeepBrainStimulation for #ParkinsonsDisease.

Intracranial EEG was recorded during 3 separate periods:
1) at-home symptomatic & asymptomatic periods
2) naturalistic provocation task
3) Virtual reality provocation task

Our latest publication in @NeuroCellPress describes the first-in-human application of responsive deep brain stimulation to treat obsessive symptoms in OCD. This paper embodies our lab’s mission to explore novel and effective applications for DBS.

Exciting work by @RobertSEisinger! Thanks for letting us be part of it!! – at South Carolina, USA
In a new publication for @ParkinsonismD, @halpernc, @DanBarbosa39, and Liming Qiu helped examine how weight loss and survival correlate after a patient receives #DeepBrainStimulation for #ParkinsonsDisease.

A recent article in @cbssacramento described the story of one of our wonderful patients in our loss of control eating clinical trial, where we used deep brain stimulation (DBS) to help her control her cravings.

Congrats @halpernc et al. There is so much promise for closed looped DBS. Kudos for bringing it to OCD
For a new publication in @NeuroCellPress, the @halpernc lab describes the first in-human application of responsive #deepbrainstimulation to treat OCD. This paper embodies the lab's mission to explore novel and effective applications for DBS.

We look forward to continuing to study the role DBS can play in helping millions of people around the world who are affected by treatment-resistant OCD.

This patient came to us, unable to drum due to his tremor. He had DBS, and after a few sessions of programming, he is now able to continue with his passion #movementdisorders #tremor #DBS @halpernc @bostonsci

Excellent feature! Working with Dr. Halpern @halpernc @PennNSG was one of the highlights of subi season.
For this week’s #functionalfriday, we are featuring @halpernc from @PennNSG!
