To stimulate the phagocytes [PDF]

Blood, 2015
“There is at bottom only one genuinely scientific treatment for all diseases, and that is to stimulate the phagocytes.” We have come a long way since this declamation by Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington in George Bernard Shaw’s 1906 play, The Doctor’s Dilemma.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation Affects Pain Perception in Depressed Adults

Pain Research and Management, 2005
BACKGROUND: Previous research suggests that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) affects pain perception in epilepsy patients, with acute VNS decreasing pain thresholds and chronic VNS treatment increasing pain thresholds.

Transcranial electrical stimulation motor threshold can estimate individualized tDCS dosage from reverse-calculation electric-field modeling

Brain Stimulation, 2020
Background: Unique amongst brain stimulation tools, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) currently lacks an easy or widely implemented method for individualizing dosage.

Investigating interindividual variability in corticomotor reorganization during sustained hamstring pain: A randomized experimental study

Brain and Behavior, 2023
Background Increasing evidence suggests that pain drives maladaptive corticomotor changes that may increase susceptibility to injury and promote symptom recurrence.

Improving visuo-motor learning with cerebellar theta burst stimulation: Behavioral and neurophysiological evidence

NeuroImage, 2020
The cerebellum is strongly implicated in learning new motor skills. Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, can be used to influence cerebellar activity.

Reliability of resting-state EEG modulation by continuous and intermittent theta burst stimulation of the primary motor cortex: a sham-controlled study

Scientific Reports, 2023
Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation designed to induce changes of cortical excitability that outlast the period of TBS application.

Temporal Interference (TI) Stimulation Boosts Functional Connectivity in Human Motor Cortex: A Comparison Study with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Neural Plasticity, 2022
Temporal interference (TI) could stimulate deep motor cortex and induce movement without affecting the overlying cortex in previous mouse studies. However, there is still lack of evidence on potential TI effects in human studies.

The impact of gamma transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on cognitive and memory processes in patients with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease: A literature review

Brain Stimulation, 2023
Background: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS)—a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that modulates cortical oscillations through entrainment—has been demonstrated to alter oscillatory activity and enhance cognition in healthy adults.

Neuronavigated Right Orbitofrontal 20 Hz Theta Burst Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Augmentation for Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder with Comorbid Depression and Anxiety Disorders: An Open-Label Study

Brain Sciences
Background: Despite the availability of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy for treating obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), alternative approaches need to be explored due to the high likelihood of treatment resistance.

A structured ICA-based process for removing auditory evoked potentials

Scientific Reports, 2022
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-evoked potentials (TEPs), recorded using electroencephalography (EEG), reflect a combination of TMS-induced cortical activity and multi-sensory responses to TMS.
