Reston, VA For patients with brain metastases, amino acid positron emission tomography (PET) can provide valuable information about the effectiveness of state-of-the-art treatments. When treatment monitoring with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is unclear, adding 18F-FET PET can help to accurately diagnose recurring brain metastases and reliably assess patient response. This research was published in The
Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Pioneering neural recordings in patients with Parkinson s disease by UC San Francisco scientists lays the groundwork for personalized brain stimulation to treat Parkinson s and other neurological disorders.
In a study published May 3rd in
Nature Biotechnology, UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences researchers implanted novel neurostimulation devices that monitor brain activity for many months, with and without deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy. Pairing the brain recordings with wearable monitors of movement, they identified patterns of brain activity corresponding to specific movement abnormalities associated with Parkinson s. Their research provides the first evidence, during normal activities of daily living, for a long-held hypothesis that Parkinson s symptoms are related to erratic brain wave patterns, and demonstrate how DBS restores order to patient brain waves.

Advanced robotics, combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology, could transform spinal surgery safety, costs, and recovery for millions of patients worldwide over the next decade.
That’s the word from Dr Michael Steinmetz, chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery and Director of the Centre for Spine Health in the Neurological Institute, Cleveland Clinic, who adds: “We have the robotics, and artificial intelligence and machine learning technology now to transform spinal surgery. Robotics can support spinal surgeons to optimize surgical costs, safety, and patient recovery. Over the next decade, robotics could lead a breakthrough in even more efficient and safer spinal surgeries.”
Innovative multidisciplinary research at Washington University led to development of breakthrough device
Eric Leuthardt, MD, professor of neurosurgery at Washington University School of Medicine, models a device that helps people disabled by stroke regain significant control over their arm and hand function by using their minds. Called the IpsiHand Upper Extremity Rehabilitation System, the first-of-its-kind device has received market authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. It was developed by Neurolutions Inc., a Washington University startup company that leverages brain-computer interface technology licensed from the university.
