Facilitate Insight by Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

PLoS ONE, 2011
Our experiences can blind us. Once we have learned to solve problems by one method, we often have difficulties in generating solutions involving a different kind of insight. Yet there is evidence that people with brain lesions are sometimes more resistant to this so-called mental set effect. This inspired us to investigate whether the mental set effect

Phase matters when there is power: Phasic modulation of corticospinal excitability occurs at high amplitude sensorimotor mu-oscillations

NeuroImage: Reports, 2022
Prior studies have suggested that oscillatory activity in cortical networks can modulate stimulus-evoked responses through time-varying fluctuations in neural excitation-inhibition dynamics.

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation for Essential Tremor

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements, 2017
Background: There is increasing interest in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation to characterize and potentially treat essential tremor (ET). Studies have used a variety of stimulation coils, paradigms, and target locations to make these observations. We reviewed the literature to compare prior studies and to evaluate the rationale and the methods

Paradoxical Facilitation of Attention in Healthy Humans

Behavioural Neurology, 2006
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced virtual lesions in healthy subjects can be used to test neurofunctional models of disease. The interhemispheric rivalry model of heminglect is well suited for such investigations, as simple predictions ...

Heritability of brain resilience to perturbation in humans

NeuroImage, 2021
Resilience is the capacity of complex systems to persist in the face of external perturbations and retain their functional properties and performance.

Training-induced cognitive coupling emerges under sham but not active transcranial electrical stimulation in older adults: a triple-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
Introduction Non-pharmacological methods including training and low-intensity transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) have demonstrated potential in delaying cognitive decline with aging.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Non-invasive stimulation of the social brain: the methodological challenges [PDF]

Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 2020
AbstractUse of non-invasive brain stimulation methods (NIBS) has become a common approach to study social processing in addition to behavioural, imaging and lesion studies. However, research using NIBS to investigate social processing faces challenges. Overcoming these is important to allow valid and reliable interpretation of findings in neurotypical ...

FAST: A Novel, Executive Function-Based Approach to Cognitive Enhancement

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
The present study introduces a novel cognitive intervention aimed at improving fluid intelligence (Gf), based on a framework we refer to as FAST: Flexible, Adaptive, Synergistic Training.

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.
