Thrilled to share our perspective in Nature Mental Health on TMS to the “dark side” of the brain. TMS is usually delivered to the frontal lobes, yet neuroimaging often points out that posterior brain regions are linked to psychiatric illness - maybe valuable new TMS targets?

new paper out in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: a ‘reverse translational‘ model of TMS for Alcohol Use Disorder — we know so little about which TMS parameters will be best to reduce drinking — so, why not leverage mice to test things out rapidly & cheaply? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Developing a reverse translational model of low-intensity rTMS in alcohol use disorder: The influence of theta burst stimulation protocols on binge alcohol drinking in mice
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a promising treatment tool for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). A challenge facing the field is that…

A full house for new TMS targets in Alcohol Use Disorder (think, anything but the DLPFC…) & the MPFC as a target for various psychiatric disorders! Exciting to see so much excitement about exploring new TMS targets

boosting this! still looking for a student/postdoc to give a teaching boost to :)
***great opportunity for senior grad students or postdocs interest in teaching***
I’m looking for a guest lecturer to speak to cover Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder at Stanford on 1/30 (on zoom). Possible honoraria & teaching evals available - if you know anyone please share :)

Hi #ACNP2024 ! second time attendee presenting data on sex differences in TMS outcomes in alcohol use disorder in both mice and humans! come see the poster tomorrow night (M98) for more (spoiler: females do better across species!)
also thanks to ACNP for an excuse to make my first blue sky post :)
