Massive, Herculanean work by @laurenahart.bsky.social and Garance Meyer to compile and integrate findings from DBS for epilepsy (20 targets!) including meta-analytical evidence for optimal stimulation sites for the two main targets (ANT & CM). Preprint out now 👇👇

🧠 ⚡️ Preprint alert ⚡️ 🧠

I️n the most comprehensive review of DBS in epilepsy, with 124 studies, 1,210 patients, and 20 anatomical targets we map where stimulation works best and why.

My lab is looking for 🚨grad students🚨 for fall of 2025! If you're a student interested in how the brain forms long-term memories, and how this process is disrupted in patients with memory issues, consider joining me through the IPN at McGill! Looking to run some high resolution fMRI studies at 7T 👀
