Outcomes after deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy are dependent on good surgical placement in the target nucleus and optimized parameters through multiple programming sessions. This often requires frequent travel to a specialized DBS center, which presents challenge for those with limited access. Recently, FDA approved remote tele-programming solution DBS. To determine if of systems is beneficial useful Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients, Foundation hosted survey collaboration Abbott...
The Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Think Tank XII was held on August 21st to 23rd. This year we showcased groundbreaking advancements in neuromodulation technology, focusing heavily the novel uses of existing technology as well next-generation technology. Our keynote speaker shared vision using neuro artificial intelligence predict depression brain electrophysiology. Innovative applications are currently being explored stroke, disorders consciousness, and sleep, while established treatments...
Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves damage to white matter microstructures. This has been related grey function as measured by standard, physiologically‐nonspecific neuroimaging indices (i.e., blood‐oxygen‐level dependent signal [BOLD]). Here, we used calibrated functional magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion tensor examine the extent which specific, evoked physiological processes were associated with in MS. Evoked changes BOLD, cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen metabolism (CMRO 2...
Cognitive slowing is a prevalent symptom observed in Gulf War Illness (GWI). The present study assessed the extent to which functional connectivity between dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and other task-relevant brain regions was predictive of GWI-related cognitive slowing. GWI patients (n = 54) healthy veteran controls 29) were on performance processing speed task (the Digit Symbol Substitution Task; DSST) while undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). slower DSST relative...
A multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis often relies upon clinical presentation and qualitative analysis of standard, magnetic resonance brain images. However, the accuracy MS diagnoses can be improved by utilizing advanced imaging methods. We assessed a new neuroimaging marker, visual-evoked cerebral metabolic rate oxygen (veCMRO₂), in classifying patients closely age- sex-matched healthy control (HC) participants. HCs underwent calibrated functional (cfMRI) during visual stimulation task,...
Abstract Standard magnetic resonance imaging approaches offer high‐resolution but indirect measures of neural activity, limiting understanding the physiological processes associated with findings. Here, we used calibrated functional during resting state to recover low‐frequency fluctuations cerebral metabolic rate oxygen (CMRO 2 ). We tested whether connections derived from these exhibited organization properties similar those established by previous standard and anatomical connectivity...
