Searching for plasticity in dissociated cortical cultures on multi-electrode arrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We attempted to induce functional plasticity in dense cultures of cortical cells using stimulation through extracellular electrodes embedded in the culture dish substrate (multi-electrode arrays, or MEAs). We looked for plasticity expressed in changes in

Functional MRI during hippocampal deep brain stimulation in the healthy rat brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a promising treatment for neurological and psychiatric disorders. The mechanism of action and the effects of electrical fields administered to the brain by means of an electrode remain to be elucidated.

A flexible standalone system with integrated sensor feedback for multi-pad electrode FES of the hand

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2016
Functional electrical stimulation aims to help patients suffering from stroke or spinal cord injury to supplement lost motor function. Effective functional electrical stimulation requires precise placement of the stimulation electrode.

Electrical vs manual acupuncture stimulation in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome: different effects on muscle and fat tissue insulin signaling. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
In rats with dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), repeated low-frequency electrical stimulation of acupuncture needles restores whole-body insulin sensitivity measured by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp.

Non-invasive, Brain-controlled Functional Electrical Stimulation for Locomotion Rehabilitation in Individuals with Paraplegia

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
Spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs the flow of sensory and motor signals between the brain and the areas of the body located below the lesion level. Here, we describe a neurorehabilitation setup combining several approaches that were shown to have a ...

Sensory Electrical Stimulation Improves Foot Placement during Targeted Stepping Post-Stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Proper foot placement is vital for maintaining balance during walking, requiring the integration of multiple sensory signals with motor commands. Disruption of brain structures post-stroke likely alters the processing of sensory information by motor ...

Biomechanics of functional electrical stimulation [PDF]

open access: yesProsthetics & Orthotics International, 1982
Patients with hemiplegia frequently have difficulty in walking due to lack of eversion and dorsiflexion capability of the foot. One method of treating these patients utilizes functional electrical stimulation (FES). The effect of FES on locomotion, co-ordination, proprioception and balance sense was assessed using instrumented gait analysis and a ...
