Personalized Adaptive Cortical Electro-stimulation (PACE) for depression (osf.io/preprints/psya…) …

….is now coming to Bipolar Disorder thanks to @BD2Discoveries !!! So happy to keep the work of moving forward in this capacity! Onward!!!

After the initial externalization testing where we confirm engagement of the individual networks by isolating behaviors, optimization and treatment include the entire symphony of networks. We think this is important to cover vast heterogeneity in TRD. We are testing spatial optimization too though.

super cool (& inspiring)! Finally read this and was wondering, for chronic stimulation (beyond initial 3-day electrode mappings), were all 4 electrode panels stimulated simultaneously? or were they isolated and that could vary with optimization? (didn't catch in paper, curious about PFC specificity)

A truly spectacular demonstration of the medical potential of precision mapping an individual patient's brain. I am so excited to be part of this work!

Qué bien

From 20+ failed treatments to lasting remission.

After decades with treatment-resistant depression and two near-fatal suicide attempts, “Mike” found relief through Precision Functional Mapping and adaptive cortical stimulation developed at the University of Minnesota

Treatment resistant depression is incredibly cruel. This is beautiful

He actually is and very articulate. He is teaching us a lot

Cool work here

Yes, please!

Oh do I understand. So full of happiness to see that Mike is doing better and has relief from the nightmare of treatment-resistant severe depression. Joy is bliss!

Congratulations! This is very important work.

JOY 💕

electrodes can stay forever though like anything they can slowly degrade over time! We have some patients with electrodes in their brain for more than 20 years!

Wow, that is amazing! I’d have a practical question: how long can the electrodes stay inside?

Thanks you! Tagging @drdaviddarrow.bsky.social

Unreal work--proud to be part of the team @umn-midb.bsky.social !

This is fascinating

Congratulations on the culmination of all this hard work! You missed @roberthermosillo.bsky.social , one of the folks responsible for calculating his precision brain map to estimate the placement of the electrodes, and lead author of this related paper:
