Human cortical slices reveal pulse-number-dependent synaptic plasticity during theta-burst magnetic stimulation

The paper investigates how the number of pulses in theta-burst magnetic stimulation affects synaptic plasticity in human cortical slices, finding that 900 pulses induce potentiation while 600 pulses do not.

Daily repetitive magnetic stimulation induces microglia-dependent homeostatic synaptic remodeling

This study shows that repeated rTMS induces microglia-dependent synaptic remodeling in pyramidal neurons, reducing synaptic strength and spine density.

Repetitive magnetic stimulation induces plasticity of excitatory synapses through cooperative pre- and postsynaptic activity.

This study uses in vitro rMS and computational modeling to show that rTMS enhances synaptic plasticity through cooperative pre- and postsynaptic activity mediated by BDNF.

Multi-scale modelling of location- and frequency-dependent synaptic plasticity induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation in the dendrites of pyramidal neurons

The paper develops a multi-scale model to simulate rTMS-induced synaptic plasticity in pyramidal neurons, showing frequency- and location-dependent changes in excitatory synapses.

Axon morphology and intrinsic cellular properties determine repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation threshold for plasticity

This study shows that axon morphology and intrinsic cellular properties influence the intensity needed for rTMS to induce synaptic plasticity in rat versus mouse tissue cultures.

Regional Microglial Response in Enthorino-hippocampal Slice Cultures to Schaffer Collateral Lesion and Metalloproteinases Modulation.

The paper investigates microglial and astrocytic responses to a Schaffer collateral lesion and MMPs modulation in mouse hippocampal slice cultures, revealing region-specific changes.

The amyloid precursor protein regulates synaptic transmission at medial perforant path synapses

This study investigates the role of amyloid precursor protein (APP) in synaptic transmission at medial perforant path synapses using organotypic cultures and finds that presynaptic APP affects neurotransmission efficacy.

Multi-scale Modeling Toolbox for Single Neuron and Subcellular Activity under (repetitive) Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

The paper introduces NeMo-TMS, a toolbox for simulating TMS-induced neuronal and subcellular responses across scales, enabling detailed modeling of TMS effects.

Amyloid-beta mediates homeostatic synaptic plasticity

This study shows that amyloid-beta, not APP or its secreted fragments, mediates homeostatic synaptic plasticity in the absence of APP.
