☀️🏡 Last week's Open House at @AcaciaClinics in Sunnyvale, CA made for truly stimulating discussions! 🧠 Discussions on brain stimulations that do not involve surgery nor drugs, yet are treatment options for treatment-resistant depression. Noah DeGaetano, MD and David Carreon gave tours of the facility! They discussed and demonstrated how their machines worked. With accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), treatment-resistant depression can be over with five days of treatment -- in 77% of people! Danielle DeSouza MSc, PhD discussed the research at Acacia! Nathan Meng modeled the device used for the focused ultrasound neuromodulation research, demonstrating how the ultrasound beam could be targeted for deep brain structures as a potential treatment for anxiety. The company I work for is the sponsor of the ultrasound research. To see more about the open house, here is a video created by David Ling!: lnkd.in/eRy_-ppt To join a future open house at Acacia: lnkd.in/e3a_zsjW To learn more about focused ultrasound for anxiety: lnkd.in/gPSUYxfa Acacia gave me a box of chocolates, which I am holding in this photo! 🐇🪺 It contained a chocolate Easter bunny with chocolate Easter eggs. 🔁 It had me wondering: which came first, the bunny or the eggs? As my father says, "Box is like a life of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get backwards." I think either way you consider the loop, you get chocolates. #tms #mentalhealth #neuromodulation #depression #anxiety #tfus #psychiatry

Come see us @ACNPorg #ACNP2023 for imaging + neuromodulation panel. My talk will show fMRI-guided rTMS> scalp target treating PTSD+MDD. Hope to see you there (w/ @AndrewMosesLee1 , @Tremblay_Sara1 , @SarahLisanbyMD , @NeuroDanielle , @Martijn_Figee_ , @EkhtiariHamed.

We also have a very exciting panel with leaders and researchers from digital health startups: @GoHumanFirst @winterlightlabs @evidation @Click_Tx. Our panelists include @AndreaCoravos @NeuroDanielle @ieuan_clay @VukovicNikola @DrShaheenLakhan. 5/n

Excited to share our recent publication in @Nature_NPJ Schizophrenia! Key takeaway: #NLP methods can detect language disturbance in individuals with #schizophrenia which cannot be picked up by traditional clinical ratings. #psychtwitter #AcademicTwitter nature.com/articles/s41537-0…
