Focal Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Rat Anterior Cingulate Cortex Inhibits Incubation of Opioid Craving after Voluntary Abstinence

Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the rat anterior cingulate cortex reduced relapse-like behavior and restored corticostriatal connectivity during opioid abstinence.

High-density theta burst stimulation (hdTBS) at 100 Hz triples the aftereffects of the conventional intermittent TBS

This paper introduces a new TMS paradigm, 100 Hz hdTBS, which triples the aftereffects of conventional iTBS in rats, highlighting the importance of pulse timing over total pulse count.

Maturation of Dorsal Association Tracts during Preadolescence Links to Concurrent and Future Cognitive Performance and Transdiagnostic Psychopathology

This study links WM maturation in preadolescence to cognitive performance and future psychiatric disorders using normative models of brain age.

Targeted medial prefrontal cortex stimulation prevents incubation of cocaine craving and restores functional connectivity

Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the medial prefrontal cortex prevents cocaine craving incubation and restores functional connectivity in a rat model of relapse.

Functional MRI reveals regional changes of brain activity after five days of focal high-density theta burst stimulation (hdTBS) of the rat brain

This study develops a rat model of high-density theta burst stimulation (hdTBS) and shows it increases cortical excitability and basal cerebral blood volume in specific brain regions.

Brain Functional Connectome Defines a Transdiagnostic Dimension Shared by Cognitive Dysfunction and Psychopathology in Preadolescents

The paper identifies a functional connectome pattern linked to cognitive dysfunction and psychopathology in preadolescents, showing heritability and predictive power for psychiatric disorders.
