    Intrigued to discover more about how DBS reveals & therapeutically impacts on the dysfunctional circuits behind different brain disorders, from OCD to dystonia? 🪄🧠 So were we! Join us on this deep dive from core to cortex – now out @NatureNeuro: nature.com/articles/s4159… A 🧵

    Who would've thought our study would make it to the big screen? 🤯Thanks for the spotlight, @CNN! 🎬 🎩 off to the patient for sharing her experience & to the incredible clinical team around @DarinDougherty! Read the full story here:

    If bringing this study to life was the icing on the 🍰, then this fun 🎄-project-unexpectedly–turned–cover art is undeniably the 🍒 on top! 🙏🙏 to the muses @andreashorn_ @TriciZvar & @P__Reinhardt for plotting this together & infusing science with fun–team effort all the way!

    Excited that our article 👇👇 has been featured on the cover of the march issue of @NatureNeuro – even more excited that @b_hollunder, the first-author of the study, hand-drew the cover herself. [🤫 I think she’s an artist] nature.com/neuro/volumes/…

    Come meet @NingfeiL and me at our poster (P 17) at the DBS Expert Summit to discuss how connectomic DBS may serve as a flashlight into the functional organization of the prefrontal cortex. We will also pitch our project at the DGKN & would be happy to see many of you there!

    ⚡️🧠Attending virtual #OHBM22 @OHBM? Last chance to stop by @NingfeiL's and my poster on how DBS may be used as a window into the organizational gradient of frontal network (dys)function! See you in a bit (9:30-11PM CET)! 🧠⚡️ This way for a video pitch: youtube.com/watch?v=Iy_yRP…

    7/n: Urgently needed for precision treatment: a roadmap that unequivocally establishes a relationship between circuitry & symptom. Conventional functional neuroimaging has not always been conclusive. Highly recommended reading @shansiddiqi @foxmdphd et al:

    14/n: Subthalamic sweet spots followed a caudo-rostral lateral-medial organization from DYT to TS, PD, & OCD. This pattern converged with functional territories: DYT in the sensorimotor, TS in the motor, PD in the motor-premotor, & OCD in the associative-limbic STN.
