We have a new preprint examining single neuron responses in humans undergoing TMS (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...). The excellent Charlie Dickey led the way, and I had the privilege to co-supervise this work with @coreykeller.bsky.social and @aaronboes.bsky.social 🧵 (1/7) 🧠🟦 🧠💻
Image showing the paradigm for recording single neurons in a variety of brain regions in humans, while single-pulse TMS was applied to dlPFC. One subpanel shows that single neurons were able to be resolved very early (8ms) after the single-pulse stimulation. Another subpanel shows two example neuron waveforms, along with their inter-spike interval distributions. The final subpanels show spike density functions overlaid on raster plots for the same neuron, separately for active and sham stimulation, in order to demonstrate that active (but not sham) stimulation increased activity in this example neuron.

New paper from @stanfordpntlab.bsky.social in collaboration with @coreykeller.bsky.social, @neuro-engineer.bsky.social, Nick Trapp, and Aaron Boes at UIowa! We explored how TMS to the DLPFC changes neural activity in the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, a key mood regulator. 1/

Excited to announce award of my K99/R00 "Theta burst modulation of hippocampal-cortical rhythms in schizophrenia," under amazing mentors at Stanford including @coreykeller.bsky.social! We will ask whether hippocampal oscillations can be systematically influenced by stimulation in schizophrenia.

When we use TMS to treat depression, we think it alters neural activity in a deep brain structure known as the subgenual anterior cingulate (sgACC). But this is hard to test directly, until our preprint with @coreykeller.bsky.social, @neuro-engineer.bsky.social, Nick Trapp, and Aaron Boes (UIowa) 1/

""Many of us didn’t think all of this would be so drastic, or happen so fast. But here we are. The short-termism of university administrators, the instinct to ride it out, isn’t going to work. The Trump administration is going to run through us like a pack of wolves on a flock of sheep.""

1/10 🧠 We need better ways to measure brain excitability in psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex—key target for brain stimulation treatments—is particularly hard to assess. Our new studies tackle this with systematic mapping! bit.ly/4cjHknX & bit.ly/3PW8RCx

The whole "$1 NIH dollar generates $2.50 in output" sells science wildly short. Scientific discovery and technological development is the foundation on which our entire society is built -- and that includes all the businesses that operate within it. The throughlines are shorter than you think: 1/n

What happens when you combine music and brain stim? 🎵⚡🧠 Our team found timing TMS pulses with music enhanced brain responses - an exciting potential pathway to improve stim effects. LOTS more to do!
