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?

Pope Leo offers his strongest criticism of Trump yet
The Pope, who is American, called for "deep reflection" on how migrants are treated, and spoke against US bombing of Venezuelan vessels.

Blown away after visiting INM-1 led by Katrin Amunts this Monday – Markus Axer and her showed us their setup of acquiring whole-brain slices (e.g. 7,000 of them to make up Bigbrain 1) – and the mesmerizing effects of polarized light on cryosectioned (raw) brain sections as can be seen in the video.

Super happy to have one of the official iconic BigBrain trophies on my desk after giving a keynote at the recent HIBALL summit.

Even though it was a nuisance and led to lots of issues in the BigBrain 1 space, this uniquely skewed brain shape is now iconic and went into the annals of neuroscience.

Congratulations to Philippe Aghion on receiving the Nobel Prize in economics.

A proud moment for Europe and a strong reminder that innovation and openness are the foundations of our shared prosperity.

Philippe’s contributions helped shape Mario Draghi’s vision for European competitiveness.

The current environment is making it near impossible to run clinical trials in the UK.
One key issue discussed in @brain1878.bsky.social
is the duplication - or worse - of regulatory oversight at NHS hospitals & universities.

My views on how to change the system
