Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the rat anterior cingulate cortex reduced relapse-like behavior and restored corticostriatal connectivity during opioid abstinence.

Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the medial prefrontal cortex prevents cocaine craving incubation and restores functional connectivity in a rat model of relapse.

The paper identifies a whole-brain functional connectivity pattern that predicts individual differences in opioid craving incubation in rats after abstinence.

This study develops a rat model of high-density theta burst stimulation (hdTBS) and shows it increases cortical excitability and basal cerebral blood volume in specific brain regions.

StandardRat improves functional connectivity specificity in rat brains through a standardized MRI protocol tested across 20 centers.

The paper introduces an open rsfMRI database of 90 awake rats, providing raw and preprocessed data along with functional connectivity analysis.

The paper analyzes rsfMRI data in awake rats to show that the global brain signal involves thalamo-cortical and hippocampo-cortical network co-activations.

This study investigates how inactivating a brain hub region affects network properties and behavior using chemogenetics and rsfMRI in rodents.
