Brain stimulation and memory [PDF]

Brain, 2015
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Visual-spatial memory may be enhanced with theta burst deep brain stimulation of the fornix: a preliminary investigation with four cases’, by Miller et al. (doi:10.1093/brain/awv095). Loss of memory is one of the most devastating afflictions of the human condition.

Brain oscillations differentially encode noxious stimulus intensity and pain intensity [PDF]

, 2017
Noxious stimuli induce physiological processes which commonly translate into pain. However, under certain conditions, pain intensity can substantially dissociate from stimulus intensity, e.g. during longer-lasting pain in chronic pain syndromes.

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

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.

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 ...

Neurosurgery for Psychopaths? An Ethical Analysis [PDF]

, 2016
Recent developments in neuroscience have inspired proposals to perform deep brain stimulation on psychopathic detainees. We contend that these proposals cannot meet important ethical requirements that hold for both medical research and therapy.

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.
