Congratulations to Dr. Kevin Bickart on a new grant from the @DeptofDefense! This $3M grant, “Personalized Circuit-Based Frontoamygdala Neuromodulation for Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms”, will examine the effects of #TBI on specific #brain circuits.

Well-deserved! Definitely worth attending.

Wow! Our course on using MRI to optimize brain stim accepted for #OHBM2025. So cool. I've wanted to go to Australia at least since 6th grade... 🐨🦘🪃

That seems to be enough to buy gains in longevity and brain and heart health. At least 150min/week is doable.

Analysis of 116 RCTs shows the duration of weekly exercise is linearly associated with body weight & body fat up to ~300 min (5 hours) of exercise per week.

Seems so obvious, now. Well done. Yin and yang.

Nico Dosenbach @ndosenbach Jan 2, 2025

In the action-mode, arousal is heightened, attention focused externally, and plans are converted to goal-directed movements and updated based on feedback, such as pain. The brain’s action-mode is created by a dedicated action-mode network (AMN) rdcu.be/d5odm. In the brain’s mode continuum, the AMN’s action-mode sits opposite the DMN’s default-mode for self-referential processing, counterbalancing each other as yin & yang. AMN dysfunction might be key in pain, apathy, Parkinson’s, etc. New NRN piece with Marc Raichle & @gordonneuro. Short 🧵 ⬇️

How much do ACEs matter?
