Happy to share our latest study led by Tanner Dixon and our team @ucsfhealth.bsky.social and @neurosurgucsf.bsky.social out today in Nature BME! Movement Responsive, AI programmed, BCI-aDBS improves naturalistic movements and reduces excessive movements at rest in PD. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'd like to see a revival of panache and artistry in scientific prose style. Since we have to read so many papers, they should be fun and beautiful. I would also argue that this serves the goal of communication: readers will be more likely to remember a striking phrase or image.

A study in Nature Medicine finds that deep brain stimulation of a region called the lateral hypothalamus improves walking and promotes recovery in humans and rodents with spinal cord injury. go.nature.com/3Vlosyl 🧪

This is figure 6, which shows that DBSLH mediates long-term improvements in walking in humans with SCI.
