New paper in Applied Energy! Transformers can be overloaded from many EV chargers in a neighborhood. We propose a flexible BESS sharing scheme to split BESSs into individual and shared portions, offering utilities an alternative to transformer upgrades. https://t.co/W19FNt54eB

It was a pleasure to host Dr. Jonathan Downar at Stanford to hear his insights about the future of #TMS! So many brilliant researchers are working to ensure treatment efficacy, but this was a great reminder that we also need to think about accessibility & scalability. 🤔
Hear Dr. Jonathan Downar speak about his incredible vision to accelerate the delivery of #TMS to reach 1 billion (!) patients struggling with transdiagnostic functional impairments! 👉 https://t.co/VubxFo77Bm (nearly 500 views already!)

New paper in JAMA Network Open! We found that individuals with high amygdala threat reactivity at baseline showed greater normalization of brain function and improved threat processing under 120mg MDMA. A step toward personalized MDMA therapies!

Why do some refractory depression patients respond to TMS while others don't? New @biorxiv_neursci preprint: We identified distinct signatures that predict treatment outcomes by combining TMS-EEG with whole-brain computational modeling in 90 patients. https://t.co/54nw7odr7o

The electric fields given off by TMS are super distributed: this is a great one for piecing apart the implications of that spread for individual treatment outcomes. Congrats Divya!

Now… what remains to be seen. Does the “right functional network” involve the sgACC in every patient with depression? Can E-field models be used to optimize scalp-based targeting further? How do we balance personalization and precision with accessibility? Stay tuned!

3. The effect of interaction between TMS E-fields and functional brain networks on clinical outcome was evident within 5 TMS sessions, i.e a fraction (5/30) of the full TMS dose. This suggests that robust responses to TMS can occur early when the right functional network is hit.

2. E-field magnitude at the peak sgACC-anticorrelated voxel in the prefrontal cortex was associated with treatment response: ⬆️ E-field magnitude at sgACC-anticorrelated peak, ⬆️ depression symptom reduction. True regardless of whether we normalize the w.r.t. overall E-field.

1. Resting state functional connectivity between the “E-field center of gravity” and the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) was associated with symptom reduction: ⬆️ CoG-sgACC anticorrelation, ⬆️ depression symptoms reduction. Without E-fields, no clear relationship.
