Congratulations to Drs. Okun and Gunduz on the publication of “Non-Motor Characterization of the Basal Ganglia: Evidence from Human and Non-Human Primate Electrophysiology” in Frontiers in Neuroscience. Abstract Although the basal ganglia have been implicated in a growing list of human behaviors, they include some of the least…
It was recently discovered that successful suppression of HIV infection and resultant increased life expectancy comes with an higher risk for developing dementia, addiction and other neurological problems. MBI researcher Doug Miller discusses new research that identified one of the underlying mechanisms for the neurological and neuropsychiatric comorbidities associated with…
Congratulations Drs. Okun, Hess and Vaillancourt on the publication of “Beta-band oscillations in the supplementary motor cortex are modulated by levodopa and associated with functional activity in the basal ganglia” in the May 18, 2018 issue of NeuroImage: Clinical. Abstract We investigated the effect…
Please welcome Emily Hickey to the department. Emily is an administrative assistant for Epilepsy!…
On April 28th The Epilepsy division’s team – Neurogators – participated in the annual Walk the Talk for Epilepsy. A million thanks to the amazing Gainesville community that came out and supported our walk, and the many who gave above and beyond in solidarity with those living…
In a new clinical venture, neurologists and neurosurgeons at the UFHealth Comprehensive Epilepsy Program carried out the first stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) implant in April this year. SEEG is a neurosurgical technique to map seizures from deep in the brain. Results from SEEG are crucial in designing the strategy for therapeutic brain operations for…
Congratulations Drs. Okun and Wagle Shukla on the publication of “Reply: Visually-sensitive networks in essential tremor: evidence from structural and functional imaging” in the April issue of Brain: A Journal of Neurology. Excerpt: We thank Tuleasca and colleagues (2018b) for their thoughtful commentary on…
