Herman Darrow Lab

Happy Mental Health Monday!

Take a moment to read about the importance of staying hydrated!

Neuroscientist Dr. Brad Voytek in the Department of Cognitive Science at UC San Diego uses neural modeling and simulation to understand the physiological basis of human cognition and age-related decline. Drs Voytek, Darrow and Herman discuss the role of oscillations in the brain, the relationship between noise, oscillations, and behavior as well as Dr. Voytek’s unique journey from Uber to a successful computational neuroscientist. To watch the podcast, go to hermandarrowlab.com.

Join Dr. Herman and Dr. Darrow for an in depth discussion of Parkinson’s disease with world expert Dr. Jerrold Vitek, Chairman of the Department of Neurology at the University of Minnesota and lead PI of the Udall Center for Excellence in Parkinson’s Disease. Listen in as a psychiatrist, neurologist, and neurosurgeon discuss Dr. Vitek’s career in deep brain stimulation, the nonmotor challenges that come with Parkinson’s disease, and how new research underway at the University of Minnesota and elsewhere may lead to novel types of deep brain stimulation stimulation to target both motor and cognitive brain circuits.

Happy Autism Awareness Month! Here are some responses from the FiND network community about some frequently asked questions!

Well wishes to Collin as he matriculates into veterinary school! Collin has been with us for a couple of years now, working primarily with a lot of our online studies! We are incredibly grateful that he has been part of our lab! Check out our sending off video on our website hermandarrowlab.com

We applaud the work of Black in Neuro to diversify the future of neuroscience and empower Black representation in neuroscience fields! The movement all started with a wish for Angeline Dukes to see a amongst the other celebrations of Black scholars at the time. What started as a simple Tweet in 2020, became a worldwide organization seeking to celebrate, recognize and develop future Black scholars in neuroscience.

With the start of Black History Month we want to pay tribute to all of the struggles Black Americans have faced throughout the history of our country. We also greatly honor their achievements made, despite overwhelming adversity.

Check out our exciting case report that was just published! Central post-stroke pain was treated through dual stimulation of the motor cortex and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Bayesian optimization was used to personalize the treatment, finding the best stimulation parameters to eliminate the patient's pain.
