Killam Seminar Series: Causal mapping of neurological symptoms: from lesions to brain stimulation
The Killam Seminar Series presents: "Causal mapping of neurological symptoms: from lesions to brain stimulation"
Michael D. Fox
Director, Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics
Raymond D. Adams Distinguished Chair in Neurology
Steven and Judy Kaye Director of Psychiatric Brain Stimulation
Associate Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School
Host: Boris Bernhardt
Abstract:听We lack treatments for many if not most neurological symptoms. Brain stimulation offers promise for treating these symptoms, but requires identification of a therapeutic target. I will show how brain lesions can be combined with the human connectome to map symptoms onto brain circuits, and that these circuits can be valuable targets for neuromodulation.
叠颈辞:听Dr. Fox鈥檚 research focuses on the development of new and improved treatments for brain disease based on understanding brain networks and the effects of brain stimulation. He uses brain network imaging tools such as resting state functional connectivity MRI to understand how brain damages causes symptoms and how brain stimulation leads to symptom relief. Clinically, Dr. Fox specializes in the use of both invasive and noninvasive brain stimulation for the treatment of brain disease. His practice includes deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of Parkinson鈥檚 Disease, essential tremor, and dystonia as well as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment of medication-refractory depression.
