Deep brain stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor centre induces stimulation-dependent behavioural states beyond locomotion

This study investigates how different frequencies and amplitudes of DBS in the MLR affect behavior in rats, finding that high-frequency stimulation induces hyperlocomotion and defensive behaviors, while low-frequency stimulation causes immobility.

A precise atlas of the human subcortex

FOCUS, a 100 µm atlas of 180 manually segmented subcortical grey and white matter regions and 77 hand-built tracts, registered to MNI 2009b space for warping to individual brains.

Probabilistic mouse-human brain correspondence by multimodal optimal transport

OTTER maps mouse and human brain regions using optimal transport, revealing evolutionary differences in association cortex and enabling cross-species predictions.

Genetic Diversity and Expanded Phenotypes in Dystonia: Insights from Large-Scale Exome Sequencing

This study uses exome sequencing to identify genetic variants in dystonia patients, finding 137 likely pathogenic variants in 51 genes and expanding the known phenotypic spectrum of dystonia-related genes.

Cortical network fingerprints predict deep brain stimulation outcome in dystonia

This study uses cortical network analysis to predict deep brain stimulation outcomes in dystonia patients, finding that grey matter atrophy patterns can predict response with 88% accuracy.
