Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills

This study uses tTIS to show that 80Hz striatal stimulation disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills, while 20Hz does not, indicating a frequency-dependent effect on striatal function.

Effects of hippocampal noninvasive theta-burst stimulation on consolidation of associative memory in healthy older adults

This study examines if theta-burst patterned tTIS targeting the hippocampus improves associative memory consolidation in older adults, finding it enhances recollection time 24 hours post-stimulation.

Differential impact of brain network efficiency on post-stroke motor and attentional deficits

This study examines how brain network efficiency impacts post-stroke motor and attentional deficits, finding that attentional impairment is more sensitive to network disruption than motor impairment.

Noninvasive theta burst stimulation of the human striatum enhances striatal activity and motor skill learning

This study demonstrates that noninvasive theta burst stimulation of the human striatum increases striatal activity and improves motor skill learning, particularly in older adults.

Black-box testing in motor sequence learning

This study investigates how motor skill acquisition evolves with practice, identifying memory storage and execution optimization as key factors, and shows that noninvasive brain stimulation can improve motor learning in older adults.

Targeting the fronto-parietal network using multifocal personalized transcranial alternating current stimulation to enhance motor sequence learning in healthy older adults

This study shows that personalized theta tACS targeting the fronto-parietal network improves motor sequence learning in older adults with high working memory load.
