Fantastic work. @esolomon.bsky.social 🚀🚀
New paper from @stanfordpntlab.bsky.social in collaboration with @coreykeller.bsky.social, @neuro-engineer.bsky.social, Nick Trapp, and Aaron Boes at UIowa! We explored how TMS to the DLPFC changes neural activity in the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, a key mood regulator. 1/
DLPFC TMS suppresses high-frequency neural activity in the human sgACC
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal
cortex (DLPFC) is increasingly used to treat major depressive disorder and has demonstrated
durable improvements in d...

How far can we push transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for those most in need? Our new accelerated TMS protocol delivers more pulses than has ever previously been reported, enabling a patient to cancel planned deep brain stimulation surgery.
Safety and tolerability of dual-site accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder and major depressive disorder

Congratulations @esolomon.bsky.social 🚀🚀🚀🚀 so well deserved!! 👏👏👏🎉
Excited to announce award of my K99/R00 "Theta burst modulation of hippocampal-cortical rhythms in schizophrenia," under amazing mentors at Stanford including @coreykeller.bsky.social! We will ask whether hippocampal oscillations can be systematically influenced by stimulation in schizophrenia.

When we use TMS to treat depression, we think it alters neural activity in a deep brain structure known as the subgenual anterior cingulate (sgACC). But this is hard to test directly, until our preprint with @coreykeller.bsky.social, @neuro-engineer.bsky.social, Nick Trapp, and Aaron Boes (UIowa) 1/

Pulsed inhibition of corticospinal excitability by the thalamocortical sleep spindle
Thalamocortical sleep spindles, i.e., oscillatory bursts at ∼12-15 Hz of waxing and
waning amplitude, are a hallmark feature of non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and
believed to play a key role in m...
