Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab

Stanford's SAINT TMS protocol again demonstrates rapid and robust antidepressant effects in bipolar I patients, with no signs of mania or cognitive side effects, underscoring its potential as a safe and effective treatment option. https://lnkd.in/e4dJzmxX

In testing our SAINT protocol, we saw an average of 2.6 days to transition people from a pretty bad state to well. Thanks for having me, Sean Kelly. More Digital Social interview highlights to come. Listen to the full episode at https://lnkd.in/g53eg2wC. #Depression #MoodDisorders

The Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellow position. Our lab focuses on advancing the understanding of brain function and its modulation through non-invasive and invasive stimulation techniques. More info and how to apply ?? We utilize a multidisciplinary approach to explore neural circuits related to cognitive processes and mental health disorders, aiming to develop innovative interventions for these conditions. We invite any applicants to apply as part of the VA MIREC and VA T32 fellowship mechanisms or with their own institutional/federal funding. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with expertise and training in one or more of the following areas: ? MRI function (including resting state functional connectivity analysis and task fMRI analysis) or structural analyses (including structural connectomics, other related morphological approaches) ? EEG signal processing, scalp or intracranial ? Blood Analyses ? Computational Modeling of cortical dynamics, including brain/biophysical network models. ? Real-time fMRI data collection and analysis (e.g., closed-loop neurofeedback) The successful applicant will collaborate with a dynamic team of researchers and clinicians, leveraging state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies to investigate brain networks in health and disease. This position offers opportunities for extensive training, research development, and collaboration across Stanford and affiliated VA facilities. Qualifications: ? PhD, MD or MD/PhD in neuroscience, psychology, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline, with a strong interest in neuroimaging and brain stimulation techniques ? Proficiency in coding and data analysis, with experience in one or more of the following: 1) Analyzing neuroimaging data (e.g., FSL, FreeSurfer)? signal processing methods for EEG data (e.g., fieldtrip, etc). 2) Blood analyses and related biochemical methodologies 3) Computational modeling of neural dynamics (e.g., Virtual Brain) 4) Real-time fMRI data collection and analysis (e.g., closed-loop neurofeedback) ? Strong organizational, oral, and written communication skills ? Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team ? Capacity to prioritize multiple tasks and manage shifting priorities and deadlines ? A high degree of professionalism and attention to detail Applicants should submit a cover letter outlining their research interests, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references to [email protected].

I'm very lucky to have been a part of presenting our newest data on long-term clinical effect. Our team is working on fascinating, groundbreaking work to not only get but *keep* people well who suffer from treatment resistant depression. Thank you so much to Marom Bikson and the NYC Neuromodulation 2024 team for an incredible, inspiring conference! So grateful I had the chance to meet and learn from such wonderful leading researchers, clinicians, engineers, and businesspeople in the field.

Excellent presentation by Prof. Nolan Williams, Stanford University about the accelerated #rTMS (SAINT) protocol at the Brainclinics Foundation TMS masterclass in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Thank you Martijn Arns for the organization. #neuroscience #neuromodulation Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab - Jean-Baptiste Belge - Dirk Steenssens

If you know someone with untreated bipolar disorder, Stanford University School of Medicine's Po Wang does a good job of outlining why that's a very bad idea. Thanks to the decades of work by Terence Ketter Po Kristin Raj & Nicole Brooks with Stanford's Bipolar Disorders Clinic, we know a lot more about the biological roots of this too-often-deadly disease that afflicts some 50 million Americans. As Wang puts it about this often over-simplified moodiness condition, this isn't like saying 'They went off the deep end' or 'They had a really bad day.' #bipolar #mentalhealth #bipolarawarenessmonth #worldbipolarday #depression #mania #stanfordmedicine #stigma
