Bijanki (PI) 08/01/16-07/31/18 NIH KL2TR000455. $255,535 total directs Affective bias as a biomarker for neuropsychiatric complications following neurological surgery for epilepsy. This project examines whether there are neuropsychological and behavioral correlates to limbic stimulation that can be used to predict and prevent neuropsychiatric complications following resective or ablative neurosurgery for epilepsy.

Role: Principal Investigator, KL2 Scholar

Mayberg (PI) 07/31/18-07/31/22 NIH UH3NS103550. $1,118,820 total directs Electrophysiological Biomarkers to Optimize DBS for Depression. This project is to develop and test objective methods for reliable device configuration in individuals being treated with deep brain stimulation to the subcallosal cingulate for treatment refractory depression, by optimizing stimulation parameters with respect to human functional anatomy and key electrophysiological variables.

Testing an Imaging Biomarker for Treatment Stratification in Major Depression. This project tests the efficacy of a novel imaging biomarker developed to stratify patients into two subtypes that predict the likelihood of remission to monotherapy with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or escitalopram (sCIT)--two first-line treatments for MDD.

Role: Research Faculty

Drane (PI) 01/07/14-30/04/19 R01NS088748-01 $634,658 total directs Dissecting the Cognitive Roles of Hippocampus, Other Temporal Lobe Structures. This project compares the cognitive outcome of patients undergoing standard open resections versus a

novel, minimally invasive laser ablation technique that is exquisitely restricted to the hippocampus and amygdala. As open resections affect a broader range of temporal lobe white matter and structures, this study will determine whether the hippocampus and amygdala have an essential role in cognitive processes.

Role: Research Faculty

ii. Privately funded: Bijanki (PI) 05/01/18-04/30/19 University Research Council Biological and Health Sciences Grant $27,699 total directs Developing emotional stimulation mapping to predict postoperative depression in epilepsy patients. The goal of this study is to utilize electrical brain stimulation to predict postoperative depression in neurosurgery patients undergoing destructive interventions for medically intractable epilepsy (Emory University).

Role: Principal Investigator Wolf, S. (PI) 05/01/18-04/30/21 Microtransponder Inc. Pivotal Trial $261,625 total directs A Pivotal Randomized Study Assessing Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) During Rehabilitation for Improved Upper Limb Motor Function After Stroke (VNS-REHAB). The aim of the study is to pair vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with rehabilitation motor tasks in subjects with upper extremity ischemic stroke deficits and to compare this to individuals who undergo motor rehabilitation therapy without VNS pairing. Our preclinical studies have demonstrated that VNS during a motor task induces significant reorganization of the rat motor cortex (Porter et al., 2011). In addition, our ongoing animal studies demonstrate that VNS during movement improves the motor deficit in at least two stroke models (see above in Preclinical Studies); two pilot human studies confirm this benefit.
