Great work by Kat & Ricky and team running a cost-effectiveness analysis on DBS for TRD. As the therapy develops, it will be important to know the threshold response rate needed for economic viability. Katya Kabotyanski Ricardo Andrés Nájera, MD Nicole Provenza Neuro Polarbear

Congratulations to our graduating chiefs. Tyler Lazaro, Patrick, Marc, Jeff: it's been a pleasure working with you all. We BCM Neurosurgery are so proud of you!

Huge congrats to BCM Neurosurgery and University of Utah Neurosurgery on our new paper out in Brain! We show the DMN's role in creative thinking using intracranial recordings. Well done to aus Eleonora Bartoli & Ethan Devara and team Huy Dang Raissa Mathura Adrish Anand Bailey Pascuzzi, M.A. Ben Shofty

(8/12) We developed these models with an initial cohort of 5 patients and were thrilled to find that the findings held in an additional cohort of 7 patients! Data from 3 of those patients were shared with us by Ben Shofty and his team at University of Utah Neurosurgery.

(12/12) This work was a tour de force that wouldn’t have happened without Ankit Patel, Sameer Rajesh, Vigi Katlowitz, Huy Dang, Ricardo Andrés Nájera, MD, Rose Caston, Nisha Giridharan, Katya Kabotyanski, Neuro Polarbear, Storch Lab at BCM, Jeffrey Herron, and our amazing study participants.

I’m looking for a postdoc to work with my group on understanding speech and language in the brain using pediatric intracranial recordings. Looking for folks with strong computational skills and electrophysiology experience. Email me your CV if interested! Job post forthcoming.

Congratulations to our group’s Nature Medicine paper! Fabulous work by co-first authors Nicole Provenza, Sandy Reddy, and Anthony Allam. Read more on our new neural biomarker predicting OCD symptom response from Nicole’s thread below, and see full text here: rdcu.be/dNCVl

So proud of our team for these exciting results Nicole Provenza, Sandy Reddy, Anthony Allam! BCM Neurosurgery @BCMFromTheLabs

Very proud that my country of origin is excited about our work. I just returned from Bangalore IISc Bangalore, where I met faculty and trainees who are the best of a country of a billion. SP Arun Hardik J. Pandya Nicole Provenza Neuro Polarbear ibtimes.co.in/indian-america…

#ICYMI: It's been a busy summer for publications from the labs of #BCMNeurosurgery 🔬 Visit bcm.edu/departments/ne… to read up on the latest works from Drs. Benjamin Deneen, Nicole Provenza, Sameer Sheth and more. #OCD #BrainTumors #Depression

Trainees is BME, Neuroscience, and related fields will not find a better lab for world class psychiatric neuromodulation research!

Another great paper from Brain Modulation Lab and Mark Richardson MD PhD's team including MGH Neurosurgery residents Pranav Nanda, MD and Nathaniel D. Sisterson. This is now the best data available to support centromedian-region RNS for generalized epilepsy, as the field awaits the results of the NAUTILUS

Exciting and important work developing behavioral and neural biomarkers of melancholic vs. non-melancholic depression. Congrats Dr Philip Mosley and team on the beautiful paper!

It may be #LaborDay, but sharing the message of #BrainAneurysmAwarenessMonth doesn’t stop. This morning #BCMNeurosurgery & St. Luke's Health’s Dr. Omar Tanweer joined CW39’s Sharron Melton to discuss what is sometimes known as “the silent killer.”
