Whew! Okay im good :)

Cholinergic modulation of dopamine release drives effortful behaviour - Nature In the nucleus accumbens, acetylcholine boosts dopamine release to promote effortful behaviour.

Block that acetylcholine and just doesn't feel worth it any more...

Should we rethink how risky deep brain stimulation (DBS) really is? What does reframing mean? Lucas Philipp and colleagues describe in a new paper in Annals of Neurology whether the risks of DBS should be viewed differently when compared to other common elective surgeries.

Yes we certainly see load effects in parahippocampal and hippocampus as well. Details to come!

Bursting gamma and beta dynamics underlie working memory. Working memory is a rhythmic dance, as is cortex.

Thanks Dr. Miller, Yes it is a dance between frontal and temporal areas! Code for our phase burst coupling metric available on Github so you can calculate on your own channel data! #workingmemory #bursting

Excited to share my first publication as a PI! Beta and gamma bursting in frontal and temporal areas predict working memory performance in humans. #WorkingMemory #Neuroscience

Beta Burst Waveform Diversity: A Window onto Cortical Computation - Holly Rayson, Quentin Moreau, Solene Gailhard, Maciej J. Szul, James J. Bonaiuto, 2025 Neural activity in the beta band is increasingly recognized to occur not as sustained oscillations but as transient burst-like events. These beta bursts are div...

Beta bursts are brief, structured events that may act as transient “computational primitives” the brain uses to flexibly coordinate processing across regions.

Fantastic sfn talk by Earl Miller covering the latest on gamma, beta, and how large scale networks may coordinate cortical modules for cognition

Cortico-basal rhythms reveal how the brain changes during DBS. Lawrence, Little and colleagues describe in a new paper that just dropped in Brain how cortico-basal oscillations track natural everyday movements in individuals receiving deep brain stimulation for PD. @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social

Dissecting LLMs with ML | Mike X Cohen | Substack Understand how large language models (LLMs) really work by applying machine learning (ML) methods to their internal activations. Each post explores how LLMs process text, isolate patterns, and generat...

Dear scientists of BlueSky: Wouldn't it be great to learn how large language models work by running experiments on them and analyzing the data? Yeah, you can do that, and I'll show you how.

Graphic that depicts an overview of the study in which UCSF researchers modeled and optimized DBS settings to improve walking in patients with Parkinson's, identifying key insights abut the neurophysiology of walking along the way.

A new study led by @doriswang.bsky.social's lab developed a systematic way to quantify key aspects of gait in patients with #Parkinsons and used machine learning to identify personalized deep brain stimulation (DBS) settings to improve walking: www.ucsf.edu/news/2025/07...

A human brain network linked to restoration of consciousness after deep brain stimulation - Nature Communications In people with severe brain injuries, stimulation restored consciousness by engaging a deep brain circuit for wakefulness—revealing a target that may also guide treatment in stroke and epilepsy.

Just dropped in @natcomms.nature.com: we show that re-engaging a thalamic–ventral tegmental circuit with deep brain stimulation can reignite consciousness in patients with severe brain injury. Work led by Aaron Warren, with @andreashorn.org @foxmdphd.bsky.social @ others! tinyurl.com/4kz8j89b

Very excited to share our newest publication on identifying neurophysiological signatures of improved gait using bidirectional DBS devices!
