🚨 New in Nature Medicine 🚨

Difficulty walking is one of the most disabling symptoms of Parkinson's disease—and one of the hardest to treat.

Today we're excited to share our new study showing that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be synchronized to each step a person takes.

New publication!!! Fantastic work by @PoojanShuk90434 on brain activities that underlie turning and how meds and DBS work differently on turns! Check it out

🚶🔄 What does the brain do when we turn and what changes in Parkinson’s disease?

Excited to share our work in npj Parkinson’s Disease! @Nature_NPJ

🧠We recorded from the motor cortex and basal ganglia during walking and turning in 5 people with Parkinson’s.

📉 Better turning was associated with reduced beta activity.

💊⚡ Improvements with medication and DBS were linked to distinct neural signatures, pointing toward more personalized stimulation for gait.

Grateful to @DorisWangLab, our collaborators, and especially our research participants!📖

We are hiring! The Wang Lab is looking for a postdoctoral fellow with strong computational neuroscience/neural engineering background who is interested in working on human translational neuroscience projects on closed loop neuromodulation! Pleas email me if interested!
