From MDS Aspen - SusanFox thoroughly reviewing dystonia phenomenology and pathophysiology. Insight from Mark Hallett on the role of generalized loss of inhibitory control in focal dystonia, with motor manifestation after focal "hit"

Poll: Do you think gluten ataxia exists? 🥖🥨🍞🚶‍♂️ Antigliadine antibodies have been found in cerebellar ataxias as well as in a variety of neurological disorders. Mark Hallett presents the evidence and invites us to choose a side. What is yours?

Whirlwind tour of gait disorders at Aspen with Michael Okun. Nonnekes et al. identified 59 compensation strategies for gait impairment in Parkinson's disease and classified the strategies based on potential mechanisms: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Device-aided therapies, including DBS, increasingly needed as # of Parkinson's patients increases. However, not all "are approved nor realistically available worldwide, due to financial limitations, resource capacity and local expertise." DBS Think Tank link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I have to say that Mark Churchland took it to another level here. I feel this is required watching for anyone in systems neuroscience. Pretty stoked to have had the chance to introduce him and this talk.

Neat study suggesting "the existence of a canonical layer-based and frequency-based mechanism for cortical computation" across primates - macaques, marmosets, and humans. Higher frequency LFP activity in superficial layers, lower frequency LFP activity in deeper layers.
