Differential modulation of excitatory and inhibitory neurons during periodic stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Non-invasive transcranial neuronal stimulation, in addition to deep brain stimulation, is seen as a promising therapeutic and diagnostic approach for an increasing number of neurological diseases such as epilepsy, cluster headaches, depression, specific ...

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Desynchronizing effect of high-frequency stimulation in a generic cortical network model

open access: yes, 2012
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TCES) and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) are two different applications of electrical current to the brain used in different areas of medicine. Both have a similar frequency dependence of their efficiency, with the most

Neurosurgery for psychopaths? The problems of empathy and neurodiversity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
I argue that deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a bad approach for incarcerated psychopaths for two reasons. First, given what we know about psychopathy, empathy, and DBS, it is unlikely to function as an effective treatment for the moral problems that ...

About deep brain stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesNeurology, 2015
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgery that is used to treat a number of disabling symptoms of neurologic diseases. These include symptoms of Parkinson disease (PD), essential tremor, dystonia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It has also been used in Tourette syndrome, neuropathic pain, and depression. A report of the first successful clinical use

Potential therapeutic targeting of BKCa channels in glioblastoma treatment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes current insights into the role of BKCa and mitoBKCa channels in glioblastoma biology, their potential classification as oncochannels, and the emerging pharmacological strategies targeting these channels, emphasizing the translational challenges in developing BKCa‐directed therapies for glioblastoma treatment.

Directional Deep Brain Stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics, 2019
Over the last years, deep brain stimulation has seen many technological innovations. New electrode designs allowing to direct the current flow not only in the vertical but also in the horizontal plane are the most recent. We summarize the concept of "directional deep brain stimulation" with its opportunities and challenges and the available study data ...

Transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors underlies context‐dependent adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

In Parkinson’s disease dopaminergic medication and deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus increase motor, but not reflection and cognitive impulsivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
BackgroundParkinson’s disease is associated with increased impulsivity, which can be divided into several domains: motor (consisting of proactive and reactive subdomains), reflection, and cognitive impulsivity.
