LTP-like cortical plasticity predicts conversion to dementia in patients with memory impairment

Brain Stimulation, 2020
Background: New diagnostic criteria consider Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as a clinico-biological entity identifiable in vivo on the presence of specific patterns of CSF biomarkers. Objective: Here we used transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate the

Deep brain and cortical stimulation for epilepsy [PDF]

, 2014
Background : Despite optimal medical treatment, including epilepsy surgery, many epilepsy patients have uncontrolled seizures. In the last decades, interest has grown in invasive intracranial neurostimulation as a treatment for these patients ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Affects Pain Perception in Depressed Adults

Pain Research and Management, 2005
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects pain perception in epilepsy patients, with acute VNS decreasing pain thresholds and chronic VNS treatment increasing pain thresholds.

Debugging Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, 2020
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a successful treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease. In adaptive DBS, stimulation is titrated according to feedback about clinical state and underlying pathophysiology. This contrasts with conventional stimulation,

Lasting EEG/MEG aftereffects on human brain oscillations after rhythmic transcranial brain stimulation: Level of control over oscillatory network activity [PDF]

, 2015
A number of rhythmic protocols have emerged for non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) in humans, including transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), oscillatory transcranial direct current stimulation (otDCS) and repetitive (also called ...

Design and validation of a closed-loop, motor-activated auricular vagus nerve stimulation (MAAVNS) system for neurorehabilitation

Brain Stimulation, 2020
Background: Studies have found that pairing vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with motor activity accelerates cortical reorganization. This synchronous pairing may enhance motor recovery.

Sham-derived effects and the minimal reliability of theta burst stimulation

Scientific Reports, 2021
Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) is a patterned form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that has been used to induce long-term modulation (plasticity) of corticospinal excitability in a drastically shorter duration protocol than ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Effects on the Neural Substrate of Conceptual Representations

Brain Sciences, 2023
The aim of this study was to shed light on the neural substrate of conceptual representations starting from the construct of higher-order convergence zones and trying to evaluate the unitary or non-unitary nature of this construct.

Glutamate-mediated blood-brain barrier opening. implications for neuroprotection and drug delivery [PDF]

, 2016
The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective anatomical and functional interface allowing a unique environment for neuro-glia networks. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction is common in most brain disorders and is associated with disease course and delayed ...

Gamma‐induction in frontotemporal dementia (GIFTeD) randomized placebo‐controlled trial: Rationale, noninvasive brain stimulation protocol, and study design

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, 2021
Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no effective pharmacological treatment. Recently, interneuron activity responsible for fast oscillatory brain activity has been found to be impaired in a mouse ...
