🧠 New study answering one of the most controversial question in Parkinson's disease: what role does dopamine replacement therapy (DRT) 💊 actually play in triggering hallucinations?
📃 For more details check the preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Overview in 🧵 (1/8)

Happy that our PD hallucinations paper is featured in the new @NatMentHealth editorial, highlighting notable parallels across psychiatric & neurological conditions in how hallucinations and delusions emerge.

Thanks @epflSV @Neuro_X_EPFL @Brainmind_EPFL for promoting our latest work! 🧠 Led by @SaraStampacchia and published in @NatMentHealth, we reveal individualised neural substrates of early cognitive changes and minor hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease 👉 actu.epfl.ch/news/brain-scan…

🧠 New paper in @NatMentHealth !
In Parkinson's Disease, we show that patients at risk of cognitive decline have a distinct brain fingerprint, and that patient-specific networks associate with clinical outcomes and neurochemical substrate.

📰 Robotics to detect cognitive decline: our new study demonstrates that early cognitive dysfunction relates to minor hallucinations in Parkinson’s disease.

Jevita Potheegadoo spoke at the “Rendez-vous Recherche” webinar on the 9th of March hosted by @FranceParkinson with 400+ participants joining to learn about minor hallucinations and cognitive impairment. Watch 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=udSwHlwH…
📰New Paper out: Altered interoceptive brain mechanisms in Functional Neurological Disorder. Work led by Natascha Stoffel and conducted in collaboration with Prof. Selma Aybek from the University of Fribourg actu.epfl.ch/news/altered-in… #epfl
Rare amnesic patient reveals body's role in autobiographical memory. Check out our new paper led by @nathalie_heidi and @BaboRebelo !

🧠New paper out!
We show how motor cortex signals relate to free will, developing a new voluntary action paradigm and a brain-machine interface. A step closer to understanding how thoughts become actions — and making brain tech feel like body.

👥 Why do hallucinations in Parkinson's often feature people or animals?
Our new study finds patients over-perceiving people (but not control stimuli). We link this social bias to loneliness and anthropomorphism.

🧠 New study led by Tommaso Bertoni, published in @NatureComms, shows that pre-movement alpha oscillations shape the sense of agency by gating brain connectivity—using BMI and EEG.

Really excited to share our collaborative work with @HummelLab, led by the talented @BeanatoElena and Hyuk-June Moon, now published in @ScienceAdvances!
🔥Our paper combining tTIS and VR during fMRI just made the cover of @ScienceAdvances
In collab. with @OlafBlankeLab, we show modulation of spatial navigation in healthy humans associated to changes in hippocampal activity and grid-cell like activity.

Olaf Blanke (@OlafBlankeLab) presenting exciting work on the sense of agency and paving the way to experimental approaches to #neuroethics questions at #HybridMinds @Neuro_X_EPFL @EPFLcdh
Co-existence of two selves?
Fitting subjects with autonomous drones we show that two separate spaces of selfhood exist simultaneously at two distinct locations.

Thrilled to see this work in @CommsBio!
fMRI connectomes enable subject identification 👥 even in #Alzheimers
Brain #fingerprints remain unique but reconfigure as disease progresses, offering exciting potential to capture clinical heterogeneity!
