The following members of Dr. Sameer Sheth's lab were offered opportunities to present their research at leading international conferences recently -

• Dr. Nicole Provenza (Postdoctoral fellow)
  • Invited to speak at the Society for Neuroscience mini-symposium in November on "Intracranial neural biomarkers of response to deep brain stimulation for obsessive-compulsive disorder"
  • Invited panel speaker at the Eastern Deep Brain Stimulation Think Tank held in November 2023. The title of her talk was "Ethological Investigations in obsessive-compulsive disorder." 
     
• Katya Kabotyanski (MD/PhD student)
  • Poster and oral presentation at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS), Washington DC, in September 2023 on the "Cost-effectiveness analysis of deep brain stimulation vs. treatment-as-usual for treatment-resistant depression."
  • Poster presentation at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), Washington, DC, in November 2023 titled, "An intracranial neurofeedback platform to measure and modulate mood in human neurosurgical patients."
     
• Jiayang Xiao (PhD student)

  • Presented a talk at the Society for Neuroscience in November on "Beta activity in anterior cingulate cortex mediates reward bias."
     
• Gabriel Reyes (Medical Research Pathway student)
  • Presented a poster at the American Epilepsy Society annual meeting in Orlando, Florida. His poster was titled, "Hippocampal Oscillations Are Biomarkers for Seizure Severity During Responsive Neurostimulation."
     
• Sandy Reddy (Medical Research Pathway student)
  • Presented a talk and a poster at the meeting of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons in September. The title of those presentations were "Effect of Chronic Deep Brain Stimulation on Ventral Capsule/Ventral Striatum-Specific Circadian Rhythm in Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder."
