About
John Myers is a pioneering neurosurgeon-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of circuit-based psychiatry and surgical neuromodulation. His primary research areas include stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)-guided network mapping, deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), and the development of personalized surgical approaches for refractory psychiatric disorders. His most cited work, “Stereo-EEG-guided network modulation for psychiatric disorders: Surgical considerations” (2023, 10 citations), provides a foundational framework for translating circuit-level pathophysiology into targeted surgical interventions. By systematically delineating how SEEG can identify dysfunctional neural networks underlying TRD, Myers has helped bridge the gap between diagnostic electrophysiology and therapeutic DBS targeting. His contributions are particularly impactful for patients with treatment-resistant conditions, offering a data-driven pathway to modulate specific brain circuits rather than relying on empirical targeting. Though early in his citation trajectory, his work is already shaping how neurosurgeons and psychiatrists conceptualize the surgical treatment of psychiatric illness. Myers’ research stands out for its methodological rigor and translational promise, positioning him as a rising authority in the emerging field of precision neuromodulation for mental health disorders.
