Craniotomy
The Herman Darrow Lab (hermandarrowlab.com) at the University of Minnesota is led by Dr. Alex Herman in the Department of Psychiatry and Dr. David Darrow in the Department of Neurosurgery. We study the brain networks of mood, behavior, and cognition in people living with motor disorders, psychiatric disorders, and chronic pain. We bring Psychiatry and Neurosurgery together using implant technologies and other trans-diagnostic tools like TMS, EEG, and cognitive remediation in an effort to improve the quality of life to affected patient populations. We are excited to debut our new podcast entitled "Craniotomy: Peering into the minds of those on the edge of cognition and neuromodulation."
