Nanomaterial-enabled neural stimulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Neural stimulation is a critical technique in treating neurological diseases and investigating brain functions. Traditional electrical stimulation uses electrodes to directly create intervening electric fields in the immediate vicinity of neural tissues.

Long-term stimulation with alternating electric fields modulates the differentiation and mineralization of human pre-osteoblasts

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Biophysical stimulation by electric fields can promote bone formation in bone defects of critical size. Even though, long-term effects of alternating electric fields on the differentiation of osteoblasts are not fully understood.

Restoring the encoding properties of a stochastic neuron model by an exogenous noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Here we evaluate the possibility of improving the encoding properties of an impaired neuronal system by superimposing an exogenous noise to an external electric stimulation signal. The approach is based on the use of mathematical neuron models consisting

Tinnitus Treatment Using Noninvasive and Minimally Invasive Electric Stimulation: Experimental Design and Feasibility

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2019
Noninvasive transcranial or minimally invasive transtympanic electric stimulation may offer a desirable treatment option for tinnitus because it can activate the deafferented auditory nerve fibers while posing little to no risk to hearing. Here, we built

Transcranial Electric Stimulation Entrains Cortical Neuronal Populations in Rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Low intensity electric fields have been suggested to affect the ongoing neuronal activity in vitro and in human studies. However, the physiological mechanism of how weak electrical fields affect and interact with intact brain activity is not well ...

Modeling and behavior of the simulation of electric propagation during deep brain stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease. In the literature, there are a wide variety of mathematical and computational models to describe electric propagation during DBS; however unfortunately, there is no clarity ...

Near physiological spectral selectivity of cochlear optogenetics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Cochlear implant spectral resolution is limited by current spread from each stimulation electrode. Here the authors compare optogenetic, electric and acoustic stimulation in gerbils and demonstrate improved spectral resolution of optogenetic over ...
