New @brainstimj review: Taylor, Stagg, Bègue, Bikson, Brunoni, Caulfield, Ng, Doose, Sackeim, George. Accelerating the therapeutic effects of non-invasive brain stimulation: A Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies (NSAS) challenge workshop. brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

New in @BrainStimJrnl: Petru Isan et al. on Motor Cortex Stimulation for pain relief. ⚡️No cortical sweet-spot ⚡️Relief uses 90-100mm fibers ⚡️MCS hits distant centers Link: brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

"Transient disruption of bladder control linked to periaqueductal gray fibers following deep brain stimulation (#DBS) for #psychiatric disorders" - new 📄 by @drpouratian & team @brainstimj. brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-… @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWBrain #Neurosurgery

New in Brain Stimulation: Real-time E-field neuronavigation on realistic head models for conventional & multi-locus TMS! Ana M. Soto et al. present a robust framework accounting for cortical folding. Full text: brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-… #TMS #Neuroscience #BrainStimulation

🧵 1/2 New publication in Brain Stimulation @brainstimj: our Prof. Luigi Cattaneo @cimec_unitrento is the lead author, together with first author Pier Paolo Berti and colleagues from the Neurosurgery Unit of Bolzano and the University of Milan.

New from Berti et al. - Single-pulse TMS over the ventral precentral gyrus evokes MEP-independent silent periods in hand muscles - a non-invasive window into premotor negative motor areas. 🔗 brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

New in Brain Stimulation: Yingjian Liu et al. show cerebellar tFUS suppresses seizures! •10kHz PRF favors inhibition •Mediated by cerebellar cortex •Higher delta-gamma coupling Fulltext: brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

New from Feng, Liu, & Zhao! Epidural 5mA stim restores consciousness via frontal (not parietal) lobes & enhances connectivity. Bone stim fails to restore these features. Link: brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Out now! Jeffrey Lim, Po T. Wang et al. present the first bidirectional BCI for walking that restores both motor control and bilateral leg sensation. This embedded system uses interhemispheric ECoG for high-performance real-time gait. 🔗 brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

New manuscript by Soleimani et al. | Dose-response in transcranial brain stimulation is complex & non-monotonic. A comprehensive framework to improve reproducibility, safety & clinical translation. 🧠⚡ Full text: brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Can #MachineLearning program #DBS as well as neurologists in #ParkinsonsDisease? In our prospective blinded trial, ML using a single-session fMRI predicted optimal DBS contacts with outcomes non-inferior to expert clinical programming.

Join us in Lyon, France in 2027!

This is the first single-session 🧲TMS study with pre/post 🧠MRI in schizophrenia followed by an ⚡️ACCELERATED 5-session🧲TMS study with pre/post 🧠MRI in schizophrenia that reduces nicotine craving and DMN connectivity -> a novel🎯 for 🚭 in schizophrenia

@hbwardMD et al: DMN-targeted TMS modulates nicotine craving in psychotic disorders. Lower DMN connectivity linked to tobacco use in psychosis & cTBS reduced both craving & connectivity. A novel target for smoking cessation in schizophrenia. 👉 brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

New in @brainstimj | Lee et al. reveal that tES-generated electric fields are inhomogeneous across cortical layers in primates - peaking in layers 2/3 - explained by layer-specific effective conductivity. Key insights for neuromodulation modeling! 🔗 brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Chen et al. reveal tDCS mechanisms in vivo across clinically relevant field strengths. Low fields modulate excitatory neurons while sparing inhibitory ones, with layer-specific polarization driving spike changes. Read: brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

New study by Harry Tran et al. shows how tACS can disrupt or restore neural rhythms in Parkinson's disease. Weak fields desynchronize pathological beta; strong fields re-establish entrainment at new phases. brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…
