The goal? Brain Health shall be a priority - but only 4 European countries currently have a Brain Health Plan : Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and Norway.

Controversial '60 Minutes' segment on Trump immigration policy leaks online A controversial "60 Minutes" segment on El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center has been leaked online.

A controversial news segment that was abruptly pulled from the television show “60 Minutes” appears to have been leaked online this week after the last-minute decision to pull the story exploded into public debate about journalistic independence.

Sleep-aware Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation to Mitigate Insomnia in OCD Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the anterior limb of the internal capsule (ALIC) has been investigated as a treatment for severe, refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) [1, 2] and major depres...

Happy to share that my first co1st paper has been accepted in Brain Stimulation ! In this case, we report the use of adaptive DBS in a patient with OCD to reduce DBS-induced insomnia while preserving therapeutic benefit.🧪

Personalized, closed-loop deep brain stimulation for chronic pain Background Chronic pain is a major healthcare problem associated with maladaptive brain circuit changes - many patients are unresponsive to all available therapies. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a p...

Nice! As a followup reading, I'd suggest this preprint where invasive brain mapping led to target persolalization for DBS treatment of chronic pain. Best targets include thalamus, ACC, caudate - all 5 patients with a different configuration. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

The strength that emerges from this kind of cross-team collaboration is truly exceptional. Really happy to be a co-author on this collaborative and exciting piece of work 💙

What makes this work especially exciting is that it is a highly collaborative effort bringing together three teams within the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences, all working within a shared clinical and technological paradigm.

This approach highlights how invasive electrophysiology can help move DBS toward precision neurostimulation, grounded in patient-specific circuit dynamics rather than one-size-fits-all targets.

Toward Individualized Deep Brain Stimulation: A Stereoelectroencephalography-Based Workflow for Neurostimulation Target Identification Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is increasingly being used to treat a variety of neuropsychiatric conditions, many of which exhibit idiosyncratic symptom presentations and neural correlates across indivi...

Deep-Brain Stimulation Guided by Brain Mapping Resulted in Rapid & Acute Reduction in Severe OCD Symptoms in Trial Patient | Brain & Behavior Research Foundation A research team led by a recent BBRF grantee has developed and tested in a first patient a novel protocol designed to identify optimal personalized brain stimulation targets for severe, treatment-resi...

Our work recently published in Translational Psychiatry has been featured by the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation.
The BBRF highlighted our findings showing that SEEG-guided deep brain stimulation can lead to rapid, acute reductions in severe OCD symptoms.

Zoë Dubus - Histoire des psychotropes Médicament ou poison ? Médecins, médecine et psychotropes du XIXe siècle à nos jours

Bonjour ! Merci pour votre intérêt 💛
Je suis historienne, je partage mes recherches sur les psychotropes et mon travail de documentation de la “Renaissance psychédélique” dans le monde 🍄
Vous pouvez trouver tous mes contenus sur mon site : dubuszoe.wordpress.com et dans ce thread une sélection !

Sérieusement, on devrait parler de ce gender-ratio. 80% des affaires traitées par le CNESER disciplinaire concernent des enseignants chercheurs hommes.
Une université qui chercherait à diminuer son exposition au risque juridique devrait n'embaucher que des femmes. En particulier en PR.

Relevé des sanctions disciplinaires prononcées à l’encontre des enseignants dans l" #ESR.

Édifiant (y compris la répartition par statut et genre).

NIH cuts spotlight a hidden crisis facing patients with experimental brain implants People with experimental brain implants often turn to the treatment as a last resort, hoping to improve their health when everything else has failed.

Breakthroughs like brain stimulation for depression are built on public science funded by the NIH. If we slash that support, we stall life-saving progress.
