Concurrent fMRI demonstrates propagation of TMS effects across task-related networks

This study uses concurrent fMRI and TMS to show that increasing TMS intensity alters functional connectivity between visual and non-visual networks, affecting motion discrimination performance.

The effect of functionally-guided-connectivity-based rTMS on amygdala activation.

This study tests if functionally guided rTMS can modulate amygdala activation via its connectivity with the medial prefrontal cortex, finding increased activation post-rTMS.

Dynamic Vision Training Transfers Positively to Batting Performance Among Collegiate Baseball Batters

This study tests if dynamic vision training improves batting performance in collegiate baseball players, finding significant improvements in batting practice metrics but not in general visual-motor tasks or game statistics.

Structural controllability predicts functional patterns and neuromodulatory benefits associated with working memory

This paper shows that structural controllability predicts working memory benefits from brain stimulation and correlates with functional modulation of memory demand.

Skill acquisition and gaze behavior during laparoscopic surgical simulation

This study compares gaze patterns between expert surgeons and trained novices in laparoscopic surgery, finding that novices match behavioral performance but show less efficient gaze behavior.

Dose-dependent enhancement of motion direction discrimination with transcranial magnetic stimulation of visual cortex

This study investigates how different intensities and timings of TMS affect visual perception and brain activity, finding that lower intensities can enhance performance.

Visual and oculomotor abilities predict professional baseball batting performance

This study finds that visual and oculomotor evaluations predict professional baseball batting performance, particularly in swing decisions.

Older adults benefit from more widespread brain network integration during working memory

The paper examines how aging affects brain network integration during working memory tasks, finding that older adults show increased network integration with higher task difficulty and WM capacity.

Application of long-interval paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation to motion-sensitive visual cortex does not lead to changes in motion perception

This study applies long-interval paired-pulse TMS to motion-sensitive visual cortex but finds no changes in motion perception.

Site-specific effects of online rTMS during a working memory task in healthy older adults.

This study tests if online rTMS improves working memory in older adults, finding it instead decreases accuracy in high-demand tasks.

Complementary topology of maintenance and manipulation brain networks in working memory

The paper investigates how the brain maintains and manipulates information during working memory tasks, finding dissociable neural networks for these processes and increased segregation under higher demand.

A systematic study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to enhance working memory manipulation abilities

This study investigates whether 5Hz rTMS over the left DLPFC improves working memory manipulation accuracy, finding no significant overall effect but a negative correlation between fMRI activity and behavioral improvement in the hardest condition.
