This study shows that chronic intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) induces axon initial segment (AIS) plasticity in cortical neurons, both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting non-synaptic mechanisms of rTMS effects.

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to show that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation causes layer- and protocol-specific gene expression changes in human cortical tissue.

This study evaluates brain-behavior coupling in non-invasive brain stimulation using reliable change indices and finds no significant association between tACS-induced connectivity changes and response inhibition.

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to show that rTMS affects synaptic plasticity in aged mouse brains, with region-specific and protocol-dependent effects compared to young adults.

This study examines AIS structure and intrinsic excitability in the sub-acute phase post-ischemic stroke in mice, finding preserved AIS structure but reduced excitability and sex-dependent changes in contralesional hemisphere.

This paper develops a finite element method model to translate low and medium intensity TMS findings from rodents to humans, showing how E-field values vary across species and coil types.

This study shows that prolonged static magnetic stimulation induces structural changes in the axon initial segment of inhibitory cortical neurons in mice.

This study shows subthreshold rTMS induces structural synaptic plasticity in both young and aged mouse motor cortex, with effects dependent on stimulation frequency.

The paper shows that mature myelin in adult mice is plastic and can modify node of Ranvier length and periaxonal space size to adjust action potential conduction velocity and synchronicity.

This study shows low-intensity magnetic stimulation repairs neural circuits via cryptochrome-dependent mechanisms, suggesting a new framework for targeted neurological treatments.
