Every opportunity to highlight clinical research efforts to US Congress is critical. We recently did so for #DBS for #OCD in this panel discussion featuring one of our patients and postdoc Nicole Provenza. braininitiative.nih.gov/news-events/bl…

Out today in nature, new research by ChangLabUCSF has set a new benchmark for a speech neuroprosthesis that can allow people with severe speech paralysis to communicate. nature.com/articles/s4158… UC San Francisco @UCSFHealth #ucsfweill

Continued exciting development in DBS for depression from the Mt Sinai/Emory/GA tech group and our BCM/UTSW group BCM Neurosurgery Dr Nader Pouratian FCNS Helen Mayberg, MD sciencenews.org/article/brain-…

🧵#5 The moment is here: our latest study is out in nature! To catch you up: 20 years of investigating DBS for treatment-resistant #depression & we found a 🎯 (SCC), refined precision, gauged long-term efficacy & spotted early signs of recovery. Now, we have exciting news...

To our upcoming PGY1 residents- Welcome to UAB! We are thrilled that you have chosen to pursue a career in neurosurgery. Here's to training the next generation🎉

Excited for this paper to finally be out! nature.com/articles/s4139… We calculated remission thresholds needed for DBS for TRD to be cost-effective and hope this will be informative as the therapy is considered for FDA approval, particularly in light of the upcoming TRANSCEND trial!

A new study published in Nature Medicine, Drs. Sameer Sheth, Wayne Goodman, Nicole Provenza, A. Allam, S. Reddy & others BCMHouston Texas Children's discovers a new biomarker for obsessive-compulsive disorder, transforming #OCD diagnosis & treatment: bit.ly/3Wk1CYY

Fantastic work by Nicole Provenza & Sameer Sheth that may lead to a physiomarker in DBS for OCD out in Nature Medicine: nature.com/articles/s4159… Lead-DBS DBS Think Tank

So proud of this group for carrying this incredibly important work forward, amazing how far we have come! Honored to be included. Congratulations to Nicole Provenza and the whole Sameer Sheth lab at BCM Neurosurgery! #dbs #ocd

Excited to share that our paper is out in Nature Communications! We discovered that neural activity in the anterior cingulate cortex mediates the learning of reward information to guide adaptive choices. nature.com/articles/s4146… Sameer Sheth @NeuroPolarbear BCM Neurosurgery BCM Department of Neuroscience
