This study evaluates three voxel placement methods for MRS, finding that SSVR significantly improves reliability and reduces metabolite variability in challenging regions.

The paper benchmarks a TMS-compatible Sushi MR setup for whole-brain fMRI, showing it matches a 64-channel reference in resting-state networks and improves task-fMRI with multi-echo combination.

This study characterizes an fMRI-based SRTT protocol and identifies consistent neural signatures for motor sequence learning, providing targets for tDCS interventions.

This study examines how different intensities of anodal tDCS affect motor sequence learning in young and older adults, finding age-dependent and non-linear dose effects.

This study investigates the effects of combined rTMS and tACS on delta oscillatory activity during sleep and finds it increases delta activity in N3 sleep but does not improve memory retention.

This paper develops a computational framework to standardize tDCS stimulation doses across brain regions while preserving individual variability, validated in an independent sample.

This study links polygenic scores for intelligence to general intelligence using resting-state EEG graph metrics, showing parieto-frontal brain connectivity mediates the genetic association.

This study develops an in vivo mouse model of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the motor cortex and shows similar modulatory effects on cortical excitability as observed in human studies.

This study assesses the effects of aversive video clips on stress-related psychological, neural, and physiological responses in humans.

This study shows that transcranial direct current stimulation during REM sleep enhances fear extinction memory consolidation in humans.

This study uses 6 Hz cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation to enhance fear extinction learning by modulating cerebellar-cortical interactions in healthy participants.

This study investigates the effects of phase-synchronized 40Hz tACS and iTBS on gamma oscillations in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, finding that iTBS-tACS peak synchronization most significantly enhances gamma power.

This study shows that dual-site tACS over M1s increases interhemispheric inhibition and improves bimanual dexterity, suggesting modulation of M1-M1 connectivity rather than oscillatory coupling.

This study investigates how stress affects working memory and whether tDCS over specific prefrontal cortex regions can mitigate these effects, finding that vmPFC stimulation improves performance and reduces cortisol response.

This study compares the neurophysiological effects of cathodal tDCS over the primary motor cortex and prefrontal cortex using TMS-EEG, finding dosage-dependent nonlinear effects that are not directly transferable between regions.

This study investigates the effects of dual-site beta tACS on response inhibition in young and older adults, finding no significant phase-dependent improvements or changes in connectivity.

This study examines how sleep deprivation affects cortical excitability, plasticity, and cognitive functions like learning and memory in humans.

This study shows that tDCS improves memory consolidation broadly, but does not enhance the specific benefits of TMR on memory.

The paper investigates how chronotype affects brain physiology and cognition, finding enhanced motor learning and cognitive performance at circadian-preferred times with associated physiological changes.

This study shows that multifocal tDCS modulates resting-state connectivity in older adults, with effects dependent on electric field distribution and baseline connectivity.
