Neuromodulation of Working Memory: Mechanisms, Targets, and Behavioral Outcomes

Neuroscience Insights
Working memory (WM) is a capacity-limited control system that maintains and updates task-relevant representations for goal-directed cognition. Because WM declines with aging and is disrupted across neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders ...

Enhancement of phonemic verbal fluency in multilingual young adults by transcranial random noise stimulation

Neuropsychologia, 2023
Several studies have analyzed the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on verbal fluency tasks in non-clinical populations. Nevertheless, the reported effects on verbal fluency are inconsistent. In addition, the effect of other techniques such as transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) on verbal fluency enhancement has yet to be ...

Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles Enable Modulation of Cortical Networks by Low‐Intensity Static Magnetic Fields In Vitro

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuromodulation strategies are increasingly needed to stimulate, restore, or replace altered neuronal activity in disease. Cobalt ferrite‐barium titanate (CFO–BTO) magnetoelectric nanoparticles convert low‐intensity static magnetic fields into local electrical modulation of cortical networks.

Proto‐Panic Modulation by Caffeine‐Proteinoid Complexes

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Caffeine–proteinoid microspheres synthesized by thermal polymerization exhibit compartmentalized drug loading with encapsulation efficiencies of 61%–82% and triphasic release kinetics. Electrochemical monitoring reveals multi‐scale oscillatory dynamics consistent with chaotic and damped harmonic behavior, while Boolean logic operations demonstrate ...

Sustained pharmacodynamic effects of S‐ketamine on cortical excitability and resting‐state brain activity: A randomized, placebo‐controlled trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to investigate a set of pharmacodynamic biomarkers reflecting acute, delayed and sustained central nervous system effects of S‐ketamine, used as a tool compound for rapid‐acting antidepressant activity, with the goal of informing biomarker strategies for delayed antidepressant effects.
