Some mail you never forget opening. Thank you @NIH @NIH_NINDS + the HEAL Initiative for funding SENAP, a trial for central neuropathic pain: pain generated by the brain itself after stroke, MS, or spinal cord injury. We finally know where it lives. Now we get to go there. 🧠

New paper out in Journal of Neural Engineering. We tested effective connectivity metrics against simulated brain networks with known ground truth. Takeaway: if brain communication has time delays, zero-lag methods can fail. Metric choice matters. doi.org/10.1088/1741-2552/ae…

We are excited to be a part of this community to further efforts to understand and treat #bipolardisorder where we hope to bring biological insight back to psychiatry @UMNews @umnneurosurgery with @ZiadNahas7 @DrDamienFair @TNetoff @AlexHermanMDPhD @HermanDarrowLab
BD² has awarded $18M to four new Discovery Research teams to study neuromodulation and brain circuits in #BipolarDisorder. 🔗Learn more: bit.ly/48M1TKP Hear from Daniel Pham, PhD, Program Director, and the new teams on what their projects entail 👇

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks. @umnneurosurgery

Patients w/ paraplegia are seeing improvements after receiving a spinal cord implant — one woman even began moving her legs again after 23 yrs. These and other clinical trial results are from Prof. @TNetoff, @daviddarrow & team. @UMNCSE @UMNresearch. kare11.com/article/news/loca…
