23 years ago, I received my rejection letter from @harvardmed. Today, I was promoted to full #professor @harvardmed @Harvard. Grateful to my mentors, colleagues, and students @WUSTLmed @harvardmed @Brain_Circuits that made this possible! #Persistence

20 years ago I was an electrical engineer who decided to go to medical school. Today, I started building a “Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics” @BrighamWomens @MassGenBrigham @BWHNeurology @BWHNeurosurgery @harvardmed @harvardbrainsci

Focal brain damage can lead to loss of #addiction - can we use these cases to identify therapeutic targets? New paper by @JJoutsa out in @NatureMedicine suggests we can. @shansiddiqi @MoussawiKhaled @boeslab @NIDAnews @NIMHgov. #OpenAccess

The seminal 1995 paper by @restingstate was rejected by 4 journals and took over 2 years to publish. Now cited over 11k times! #persistance. Great talk by the father of resting state functional connectivity at #connectbrain2024.

144 MRI studies of addiction identified different brain regions - but could they all be seeing the same brain circuit? New paper by @StubbsyJ @Brain_Circuits says YES - one circuit across different substances of abuse.

Just announced. @MassGenBrigham is building a Neurosciences Institute, integrating research, education, and clinical care across departments. Excited for the future of @Brain_Circuits with the combined forces of @MassGeneralNews @BrighamWomens.

FMRI is tool, and like any tool it can be used well or used poorly. It’s valuable to stop and ask whether we’re using it well and rise to the challenge of using it better.

Thought-provoking editorial in BRAIN: “functional fMRI is ~30 years old and continues to divert many young talented researchers...” And response by @fMRI_today and @vdcalhoun: thebrainblog.org/2020/05/22/def… h/t @dngman

Humbled to be the first incumbent of a chair honoring Raymond D. Adams. He felt neurology should be “inclusive of all diseases in which there was a lesion in the nervous system, or … a lesion would be found by the development of refined methods.” @Brain_Circuits

Did you know some patients w epilepsy can develop Parkinson's - and then their seizures can disappear? New work by @fredschaper_ @Brain_Circuits unravels this mystery using brain lesions that cause these two disorders
Brain lesions causing parkinsonism versus seizures map to opposite brain networks

The word "causal" is so controversial I often avoid it in papers / grants, but it's critical for translating brain mapping research into treatments. Honored to partner with @shansiddiqi @josef_parvizi @KordingLab to explore this concept in @NatRevNeurosci nature.com/articles/s4158…
