: 🧠⚡ We present a biophysically grounded framework coupling realistic neuron morphologies to TMS. Our model links direct axonal activation to synaptic inputs from L2/3 to L5 neurons, revealing direction- & dose-dependent spatiotemporal patterns. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨 New paper alert! "A leadfield-free optimization framework for transcranially applied electric currents" 🔋 Optimize TES, TIS, ECT & TTFields without fixed leadfields 🧠 Electrode placement adapts to individual anatomy 💻 Now available in SimNIBS! doi.org/10.1016/j.comp…

I’m extremely excited that this work of 3 years is finally published in @brainstimj. Using condition-and-perturb TMS with e-field-based optimized targeting and dosing, we provide causal evidence for hybrid theories of semantic cognition: researchgate.net/publication/39…

Led by @k_weise_, @brainstimj paper explains mismatch between (macroscopic) electric fields predicted during Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) vs. neuron-level e-field thresholds. Microscopic field inhomogeneity corrects neuron activation threshold brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

(1/4) A new paper @brainstimj challenges a foundational assumption in computational models of brain stimulation (neuromodulation/electrical stimulation). Rather than suggest prior predictions were wrong, this paper shows how the suitability of this foundational assumption can be evaluated in any application (FES, SCS, DBS, TMS, tDCS, tACS, ETC, TI...). So this will be interesting...

Why is motion correction a thing for fMRI but nobody quantifies it during #TMS? Well, we just put out a metric to easily quantify within-session movement of the TMS coil, e.g. due to subject movement. Say hi to pulsewise coil displacement / PCD. doi.org/10.1016/j.brs.… 🧵 1/5

Over the moon bc I got my #PhDone 🎓🍾 Thanks so much @GesaHartwigsen & @knosche for the continuos support 🙏🙏🙏 I'm super grateful to have spent my #PhD years with the amazing folks @labCoPla & @brainnetleipzig & @MPI_CBS and all the collaborators ❤️ also: the hat - wtf 😍

When simulations meet experimental data! Check our cool findings on the neuronal response to changes in #tms stimulus orientation. #brainstimulation @ImagingNeurosci @AaltoUniversity

I am very excited that our new paper entitled "Directional Sensitivity of Cortical Neurons Towards #TMS Induced Electric Fields" is published in @ImagingNeurosci 🥳 We are extremely happy to support this great new Journal with our work! 🍻🥂 tinyurl.com/2p9rx42h

Get to know our new fellow @GesaHartwigsen who is a professor at @UniLeipzig and researches for example on the plasticity of language networks. She recently published the largest meta analysis on language processing: psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2024-… #passionforscience 👍🏻✍🏾🧠

🧠New paper out🧠! I am happy to share our paper "White matter brain structure predicts language performance and learning success". 🤓 Thank you to all co-authors! @brainnetleipzig @FriedericiLab @AlfredAnwander onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hb…

This is work led by @sabrina_turker and @PhilKuhnke, together with @Franz_R_Schmid, @vkmcheung, @k_weise_, Milena Knoke, Bettina Zeidler, @KennySeidel, Linda Eckert, and @GesaHartwigsen at @labCoPla @MPI_CBS and @UniLeipzig.

Part of the COBRA group travelled to Leipzig last week, and here are some pictures! They had such an amazing time at @MPI_CBS discussing new projects with the host group, @brainnetleipzig. 🧠 👩‍💻🧑‍💻👨‍💻 See you next time in Prague @brainnetleipzig!
