Unifying transcranial focused ultrasound and transcranial magnetic stimulation effects with calcium-dependent synaptic plasticity theory

This paper develops a mathematical model of calcium-dependent synaptic plasticity to unify the effects of transcranial focused ultrasound and transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Corticothalamic circuit mechanisms underlying brain region and ageing variations in resting-state alpha activity

This study investigates how corticothalamic circuits contribute to age-related changes in resting-state alpha oscillations using MEG data from the Cam-CAN dataset.

Alpha rhythm subharmonics underlie responsiveness to theta burst stimulation via calcium metaplasticity

The paper uses computational modeling to explore how theta burst stimulation affects brain oscillations and plasticity through calcium-dependent mechanisms, revealing resonance with alpha rhythms and implications for personalized treatment.

Excitation-Inhibition Balance and Fronto-Limbic Connectivity Drive TMS Treatment Outcomes in Refractory Depression

This study identifies neurophysiological signatures predicting response to TMS in treatment-resistant depression using combined EEG and computational modeling.

Corticothalamic modelling of sleep neurophysiology with applications to mobile EEG

This paper applies a corticothalamic model to analyze sleep EEG data from multiple datasets, revealing consistent physiological patterns and drug-related effects during sleep stages.

Stimulation mapping and whole-brain modeling reveal gradients of excitability and recurrence in cortical networks

The paper uses electrophysiology and modeling to show that high-order brain regions have higher excitability due to recurrent feedback, revealing a gradient linked to cortical hierarchy.
