MR guided focused ultrasound surgery is an effective and uprising treatment option for Essential tremor. But where is the optimal site to sonicate? Which spots to avoid due to side-effects?

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see.
Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE.
But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks.

The highlight of my week was the publication of "Parkinson’s disease as a somato-cognitive action network disorder" in @nature.com. It's a great paper that shows how conceptual changes in fundamental neuroscience - the discovery of SCAN - can improve treatment 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Parkinson’s disease as a somato-cognitive action network disorder - Nature
The substantia nigra and all Parkinson’s disease deep-brain stimulation targets are selectively connected to the somato-cognitive action network rather than to effector-specific motor regions.

…well, should there be a difference? Both is terrible, especially if these are truly "random fishermen".. 🙄
He cannot be clearer. There is no difference to him between bombing random fishermen on boats and shooting Americans protesters in the face
I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

I’ve been mentoring a student in Europe who I was hoping would come do a postdoc with our research group in Pittsburgh when she graduated. Today we had the conversation that she isn’t comfortable coming to the US anymore and is looking for options in Europe.
It’s sad and yet completely rational.

This clip is great. The fact that this view isn't the default amongst scientists is so depressing.
There's the way Trump is gleefully happy to accept someone else's Nobel prize, and then there's the way Richard Feynman viewed Nobel prizes.
