🔍How does your genetic makeup affect Alzheimer's progression? A new study reveals that genetic risks, like APOE-e4, play a crucial role at different stages of the disease. Could this pave the way for targeted therapies? 🧠 #AlzheimersResearch Read More: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38820112/#full…

Cheers to new MS research! 🥂 A recent study suggests that low to moderate alcohol consumption might slow down MS progression and improve quality of life. Your glass of wine could be helping more than just your mood! 🍷 #MSResearch #Health Full Article: neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX…

🏥🌟 Loved the open house at UF Health Urgent Care Center–Eastside! A great collaboration between UF Health, Gainesville, and Alachua County to boost East Gainesville’s health care access. 🙌💙 #UFHealthEastside #FixelInstitute #GainesvilleCommunity

New DBS method decreases errors by 72%, making treatment more precise and accessible for epilepsy, Tourette's, and consciousness disorders. Meaning fewer side effects, better outcomes, and broader access. Full Study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39126726/

🚨 Brain surgery, but make it cozy! 🧠 New research shows that deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s is just as effective in patients awake vs. asleep during procedure. The best part? More comfort for patients, with no trade-off in results! Full Study: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

LBD presents unique end-of-life challenges. Thanks to Dr. Armstrong and UF Health, this study shows that better care continuity can reduce hospital visits and life-extending procedures. Compassionate care makes a difference. Full Study: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39121116/

We’re excited to welcome Emily as our new registered dietitian at Fixel! Emily’s patient-centered approach tackles diabetes, heart disease, and more. Outside work, she enjoys swimming, exploring new restaurants, and adventures with her husband and dog, Nala. Welcome, Emily! 🎉

Great discussion for the first session and as always we continue to learn from history

Congrats to Zixiao Yin Barbara Hollunder Nicole Provenza . Amazing presentations from our top 6 finalists, wonderful science from the next generation of neuromodulation experts! Look forward to seeing these rising stars next year at the DBS Think Tank XIII!

🌟 We’re excited to launch a new virtual support group for African & Black Americans with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and their care partners! Join us every 3rd Tuesday for education, engagement, and resources. Let’s connect and support each other! 🤝✨🧠💪 #ParkinsonsSupport

DBS Think Tank Day 2 starting in 30 minutes! Tune in to listen to cutting edge MEG research in DBS!

This is the magic of the DBS Think Tank! Love bringing the top experts together to push the field forward

🔍 New research links dietary inflammation to Tourette's severity in kids. Managing diet might help reduce tics and slow progression. More studies are needed to confirm this potential. Full Study: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/p…

New research from Fixel and UF Health reveals a promising link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and a reduced risk of Parkinson's in older adults with type 2 diabetes. The study found a 23% lower risk of PD among GLP-1RA users compared to DPP4i users. 🔗: …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…

Dr. Ramirez-Zamora is exploring the future of PD diagnosis with the power of video and machine learning! 📹 In a recent study, he utilized videos of Finger Tapping, Hand Movement and Leg Agility tasks to differentiate between early-stage PD and healthy controls. 🖐️👣

🧠 Exciting new research by our own Fixel, McKnight Brain Institute, and UF Health teams reveals a conserved "amyloid responsome" linked to Alzheimer's! 🧩 The M42 protein module could be key to understanding and combating the disease. 🔍 Full Study: shorturl.at/33Vkq

Thank you to all the doctors, researchers, admin staff, and volunteers who made the DBS Think Tank an unforgettable experience! 🌟 The lively discussions, insightful presentations, and collaborative spirit truly showcased the power of teamwork in advancing DBS research. 🧠💡

Words matter! Using “brain” to describe concussions makes people see them as more severe. When coaches, athletes, and parents recognize the seriousness, they're more likely to report injuries. Let’s change the conversation for better safety! Full Study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pm…

🕰️ Movements don't just change how we move—they shape our sense of time! This study shows that adding "noise" (like tremors) to movements makes time estimates less precise, revealing how our brain combines sensory inputs in complex ways. Full Text: eneuro.org/content/early/…

AI is transforming Parkinson's research, but only 20% of studies meet key quality standards, risking misdiagnoses. With most neurons lost by diagnosis, accurate early detection is crucial! Stronger quality checks are needed for real impact in PD care. 🧠 …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…
