This is figure 5, which shows TMS targeting the SCAN versus effector-specific motor regions.

A recently discovered brain network that links cognition and actions may have an important role in Parkinson’s disease and could improve its treatment, according to a study in Nature. go.nature.com/49VBuKI #Neuroskyence 🧪

Parkinson’s disease as a somato-cognitive action network disorder - Nature The substantia nigra and all Parkinson’s disease deep-brain stimulation targets are selectively connected to the somato-cognitive action network rather than to effector-specific motor regions.

The highlight of my week was the publication of "Parkinson’s disease as a somato-cognitive action network disorder" in @nature.com. It's a great paper that shows how conceptual changes in fundamental neuroscience - the discovery of SCAN - can improve treatment 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m very excited about this new work describing the specific cortical-striatal circuits that are altered in Parkinson’s Disease and that should be targeted for optimal PD treatment.

How to Rein in ICE–NOW | Indivisible Act now with Indivisible to demand Congress rein in ICE, end aggressive enforcement, restrict ICE and Border Patrol funding, and protect communities.

Democrats in the Senate must grow a spine. They can rein in this murderous regime next week. Why on Earth would they continue to fund this tyranny?

Call your senators now: indivisible.org/campaigns/ho...

People are being kidnapped out of their homes, schools, & cars.

People are being murdered in cold-blood.

People are terrified.

But they are also still showing up for their neighbors. Trying to do what we can to protect & support our communities.

Yes it’s horrifying here. But we’re not giving up.

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

they summarily executed a fucking VA health researcher. our field cannot just ignore this. or just release angry statements and move on.

Alex Pretti was a scientist.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Her editing/producing skills are next-level - she somehow wrangled my scattered brain into something that actually sounds coherent...

A true miracle worker 😅
