Read Dr. Bag's amazing story of #stroke recovery!
After a major #stroke, everyday activities became a challenge for Dr. Mirza Baig.
With the help of #Vivistim, a device that stimulates the vagus nerve during rehabilitation, he’s making remarkable strides toward recovery.

Some mail you never forget opening.
Thank you @NIH @NIH_NINDS + the HEAL Initiative for funding SENAP, a trial for central neuropathic pain: pain generated by the brain itself after stroke, MS, or spinal cord injury.
We finally know where it lives. Now we get to go there. 🧠

New paper out in Journal of Neural Engineering.
We tested effective connectivity metrics against simulated brain networks with known ground truth.
Takeaway: if brain communication has time delays, zero-lag methods can fail. Metric choice matters.

This is the future. The reality of biological #psychiatry. We listen to the patient, create a personalized map of their brain, use algorithms to disrupt stuck networks, and adapt the stimulation over time while continuing our quest to understand those networks. @umnneurosurgery
