It was such an honor Andreas Horn Michael Fox Todd Herrington Helen.Friedrich Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics Stimulating Brains I was so fulfilled last Friday and really felt like a part of the crew. You all love and aim for deep learning of neuroanatomy as much as I do. 🤝 #keepworking

We were all blown away by Dra Vanessa Milanese MD PhD’s dissections and anatomical + neurosurgical insights for DBS at Center For Brain Circuit Therapeutics Brigham and Women's Neurology last week! Such a unique combination of experience between anatomy & neurosurgery!

Thank you Vanessa for stopping by and keep up the good work!

Breaking news — Congress has passed The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act! Passed unanimously by the U.S. Senate today, the bill now heads to President Biden’s desk to be signed into law. This is a historic milestone for the PD community, and we could not have done it without

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 4 people are estimated to have stroke in their lifetime. For #StrokeAwarenessMonth , we spoke with #JameelClinic PI Polina Golland, who is teaming up with Mass General Brigham’s Natalia S. Rost, MD, MPH, FAAN to build a machine learning model to help patients with stroke.

Proud to team up with Polina Golland in continuation of our decades-long collaboration 🙌🧠🔬 Markus D Schirmer #ResilientLab Mass General Research Institute MGH Neurology MassGeneralNeuroscience

3/ Compared to other major neurological disorders (eg Alzheimer, ALS, stroke, MS), #Parkinson is world's fastest growing neurodegenerative condition across all measures. Action needed to prevent this growth by removing environmental neurotoxins & promoting a healthier lifestyle.

1/ The Global Burden of Disease study came out with a new report on global burden of neurological disorders - estimates that 11.8 million people have #Parkinson in 2021 (up from ~6.1-6.3 million for ~2016). This growth far exceeds previous estimates.

“Building on the extensive literature on causal inference across diverse disciplines, we suggest a framework for observational studies that aim to provide evidence about the causal effects of interventions”

Adding a second-sided MRI-guided focused ultrasound subthalamotomy for Parkinson's. Some important new data was just published JAMA Neurology from Raúl Martínez-Fernández, Jose Obeso and their team from Spain. Time to ab uno disce omnes.

In addition to neurodegenerative causes, parkinsonism can result from acquired lesions affecting the cortico-basal-ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuits, including disruption of presynaptic dopaminergic projections. Learn more: bit.ly/3Jbepp4

TLDR; it usually works, and it works fast.

Outcomes appeared to improve after the clinic switched to fMRI-guided neuronavigation (not randomized).

This evening we unveiled the portrait of the late Martin A. “Marty” Samuels, M.D. in the Wolf Conference Center. This portrait will hang in the Department of Neurology Brigham and Women's Hospital. Thank you to Warren and Lucia Prosperi for their hard work on this incredible piece!

His portrait hangs in the hearts of his students. 'Si monumentum requiris circumspice.'
