Additionally, a targeted therapy previously described by Prof. Ratner ameliorates the abnormalities seen on MRI, further supporting that this treatment may be effective in treating cognitive impairments in NF1 patients and that MRI can be used as a biomarker!
Patients stimulated inside their default network experienced a decrease in creative thinking! This finding causally links for the first time fMRI derived, personalized large scale cortical networks and high cognitive function, as well as the role of the DMN in creativity!

Researchers have uncovered a propaganda network of 67 accounts on the X social platform that are coordinating a campaign of posting false, inflammatory content related to the Israel-Hamas war.
A rare and disabling tremor syndrome can be tackled using individualized approach. Leads are targeted at the GPi, VIM and the DRTT based on preop DTI and externalized. Programming is done on floor and final position is determined.
By using a cell specific, hormonal triggered, genetically engineered mice, we were able
to confine disease manifestation to white matter producing cells (oligodendrocytes) and consequently
directly examine the contribution of abnormal myelination to NF1.
Over 100 Jewish groups released a statement condemning the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian-American in an act of anti-Muslim hate.

שרשור מעולה, מוסיף שבמקרים קשים במיוחד - מה שנקרא טורט ממאיר (אם הטריקים גורמים לפגיעה עצמית או ישנה פגיעה משמעותית באיכות החיים) שעמידים לטיפול תרופתי, ישנה אפשרות של השתלת קוצב מוחי - התוצאות טובות מאד לחולים מתאימים.
We show how personalized mapping and cortical stimulation can disrupt this ability in patients undergoing awake brain surgery. Awake craniotomy patients underwent direct stimulation inside and outside the DMN while performing a creativity task.
