Our fellow Nita Chen teaches us that with the new Medtronic Percept battery the bipolar mode has excessive battery drain. Double-mono polar surprisingly better. @DBSThinkTank @leaddbs

Merging connectomics, network models and physiology? Yes please! Bahne Bahners drops the ‘mic’ in his junior award winning talk #mdscongress on how DBS works; how we can use this information to optimize DBS programming. ⁦@leaddbs⁩ ⁦@andreashorn_⁩ ⁦⁦@foxmdphd⁩

Great paper from Johnson and Vitek showing the power of the oscillations from the GPi in Parkinson's. We should be paying as much attention to GPi as STN as we develop therapies! https://movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mds.28566 @DBSThinkTank @leaddbs...

Reprocessing the @MGHMartinos N=30 Human Adult Diffusion Connectome to update our default normative connectome using the new pipeline in @leadconnectome (which in large part uses @FangChengYeh's great DSI Studio). It is such an incredible dataset! Soon updated within @leaddbs.

Classic DBS paper by Svjetlana, Chris, Jerry and Cameron 2006 on STN and GPi connections and common pathways. https://cutt.ly/ekj0FG0 A lot of great data from 2006 and now the new paper out this week posted by @andreashorn @LeadDBS shows the networks. Perfect duet. @DBSThinkTank

Love this potentially prophetic statement 9th @DBSThinkTank proceedings "Successful adaptive DBS in neurological diseases requires inputs relevant to the behavior targeted for therapy." Will the warning prove prophetic? https://cutt.ly/OAjHkos

Are folks excited to see better mobile platforms to assist #deepbrainstimulation programming? This six center @NINR multi-center trial follows another NINR @NIH trial which showed non-expert home nurses could pull off DBS programming. Is the field evolving? @DBSThinkTank @leaddbs
