Pattern-dependent low-intensity repetitive magnetic stimulation enhances spinal cord repair through modulation of neuroinflammation

This study investigates low-intensity repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (LI-rTSMS) in mice with spinal cord injury, showing pattern- and coil size-dependent effects on inflammation, fibrosis, and ependymal cell behavior.

Age-related cerebellar genetic, neuronal and functional impairments are reversed by specific magnetic stimulation protocols

This study shows that low-intensity rTMS can reverse age-related cerebellar gene expression, neuronal structure, and cognitive impairments in mice.

Modulation of oscillatory activity in response to very weak intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation in the human primary motor cortex

This study shows that very low-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation can modulate oscillatory activity in the human primary motor cortex, suggesting potential for energy-efficient brain network modulation.

In vivo low-intensity magnetic pulses durably alter neocortical neuron excitability and spontaneous activity.

This study shows that low-intensity magnetic pulses alter neocortical neuron excitability and spontaneous activity in rats through membrane hyperpolarization and reduced intrinsic excitability.

Developmental emergence of two-stage nonlinear synaptic integration in cerebellar interneurons

The paper investigates how synaptic integration matures in cerebellar interneurons, finding that changes in synapse distribution, not dendritic properties, drive the development of a two-stage integration model.

Pax3 repairs a neural circuit through a program of directed axon outgrowth

This study identifies Pax3 as a key factor in promoting directed axon outgrowth and correct targeting during neural circuit repair in response to BDNF.

Neural circuit repair by low-intensity magnetic stimulation requires cryptochrome

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