This study evaluates neuronal activation thresholds for low-frequency electromagnetic exposure using realistic neuron models and finds thresholds vary by cell type and anatomy, remaining conservative compared to exposure limits.

This study shows that low-current anodal tDCS, calibrated to simulate human-equivalent weak electric fields, accelerates early motor recovery after photochemically induced cortical stroke in rats.

This study uses rTMS to show cerebellar vermis involvement in visuo-vestibular integration for gravitational direction perception, reducing visual dependency in OKS-induced SVV bias.

The paper quantifies TMS intensity thresholds for inducing pain at Broca's area and M1, finding they are lower than motor thresholds and no sex differences exist.

This study shows that individual differences in electric fields during TDCS of the motor cortex correlate with variability in excitability changes, suggesting personalized dosimetry could improve TDCS outcomes.
