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."

Episode 10
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.
