A new analytical pipeline, FREQuency‐resolved Network Estimation via Source Separation (FREQ‐NESS), reveals how the brain at rest is organized in frequency‐specific networks and dynamically rearranges during auditory stimulation. By analyzing source‐reconstructed magnetoencephalography (MEG) data, FREQ‐NESS uncovers the networks' prominence, spatial ...

Prefrontal FGF1 Signaling is Required for Accumbal Deep Brain Stimulation Treatment of Addiction
This research delineates that a cortical‐accumbal pathway and local FGF1 signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex are critical for NAc‐DBS to be effective in altering morphine CPP. These findings demonstrate a top‐down motif to regulate the therapeutic effects of subcortical DBS on addiction and support the potential for addiction treatments involving
