The Brainclinics Foundation

Applied Neuroscience from the clinic,to the clinic

Research Institute Brainclinics was founded in 2001 as an independent research institute and specializes in advancing our understanding of the brain; applied neuroscience to improve treatments for ADHD, Depression and OCD.  The results of our research are a valuable aid in the treatment and prevention of symptoms such as mood-, concentration-, impulse control-, and sleep-problems, often seen in disorders such as depression, ADHD, and insomnia. Our expertise extends to the development and application of brain stimulation techniques, such as rTMS for depression and OCD, TMS induced Heart-Brain Coupling and EEG based precision psychiatry and stratified psychiatry for Depression and ADHD.

Masterclass

Bij een Friese ggz-instelling krijgen patiënten met een depressie medicatie voorgeschreven op basis van hersenonderzoek. ‘Onze werkwijze is geen wondermiddel’, zegt gezondheidszorgpsycholoog Nikita van der Vinne. ‘Wij kunnen niet met zekerheid voorspellen welk middel voor jou werkt. Wat we wel kunnen zien is bij welk middel de kans groter is dat het aanslaat.’ Lees meer via deze link: https://lnkd.in/dJgFY5iE

Congrats Synaeda and Nikita van der Vinne, great to see a good piece on Brainmarker-I use in Depression in one of the major newspapers! And that's only on stratification between antidepressants, not even including stratification between TMS protocols!

Where AI meets EEG biomarkers: Here we used AI/Deep-Learning trained to identify 'spindling excessive beta' activity, and could demonstrate this hypoarousal EEG signature is caused by sleep maintenance problems and is specifically linked to impulse control problems independent of DSM diagnosis. In addition, this signature was associated with ADHD diagnostic status in a sex-specific manner and predicted response to Sertraline in depression specif...

Time to start with an EEG before TMS treatment! 18Hz and 20Hz TMS target a different MDD sub-population relative to 10Hz TMS, offering great potential to stratify patients based on individual alpha frequency using EEG. https://lnkd.in/ektK6QD9 This was a great collaboration, great thanks to BrainsWay and Abraham Zangen for sharing their dTMS 18Hz EEG data and Salience TMS Neuro Solutions, LLC, Jonathan Downar, Victoria Middleton for sharing th...
