This was fully programmed using ML, remotely in patients own homes, addressing the challenges of increasing DBS programming complexity.

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.
