This #throwbackthursday, we highlight a study by Riva-Posse et al. The authors described a connectomics-driven approach to ID personalized, therapeutic targets for patients with treatment-resistant depression.   Link: 10.1038/mp.2017.59   @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update #neurosurgery

This #throwbackthursday, we highlight Benabid et al.’s 1991 Lancet study demonstrating the long-term success of high-frequency Vim stimulation in suppressing tremors for PD.   Learn more:   @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update #neurosurgery #DBS #MedTwitter

Happy #ThrowbackThursday In 1999, NEJM published a case where DBS in a Parkinson’s patient triggered rapid, reversible depression. This revealed how specific brain regions, like the substantia nigra, influence mood. @CNS_Update @AANSNeuro

A recent study demonstrated that bilateral anterior capsulotomy using stereotactic RF is a safe and efficacious treatment option for individuals with treatment-resistant OCD. @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update #ASSFN #Neurosurgery #MedTwitter
