Dose-dependent power and connectivity modulation of low frequency oscillations through transcranial magnetic stimulation in non-human primates.

Malte Rudo Güth, Nipun D. Perera, Gary S. Linn, Kurt Masiello, Brent Butler, Brian Edward Russ, Charles E. Schroeder, Arnaud Falchier, Alexander Opitz

This study shows that TMS intensity modulates low-frequency LFP power and connectivity in non-human primates, with initial connectivity enhancement scaling with TMS intensity.

Abnormal mu rhythm state-related cortical and corticospinal responses in chronic stroke

Miles Wischnewski, Zachary J. Haigh, Taylor A. Berger, Jonna Rotteveel, Tessa van Oijen, Nipun D. Perera, Sina Shirinpour, Ivan Alekseichuk, Rachel L. Hawe, Alexander Opitz

This study examines phase-dependent motor cortex excitability in stroke survivors using EEG and TMS, finding similar patterns to healthy adults but with reduced phase preference in those with more severe motor symptoms.

State dependent motor cortex stimulation reveals distinct mechanisms for corticospinal excitability and cortical responses

Nipun D. Perera, Miles Wischnewski, Ivan Alekseichuk, Sina Shirinpour, Alexander Opitz

This study investigates how neural oscillation phases affect corticospinal excitability and cortical responses during TMS, finding phase-dependent effects on TEP components and MEPs.

Dissociation of direct and peripheral transcranial magnetic stimulation effects in nonhuman primates

Nipun D. Perera, Ivan Alekseichuk, Sina Shirinpour, Miles Wischnewski, Gary S. Linn, Kurt Masiello, Brent Butler, Brian Edward Russ, Charles E. Schroeder, Arnaud Falchier, Alexander Opitz

This study investigates the direct and peripheral effects of TMS in non-human primates using invasive recordings, showing dose-dependent responses and spatial specificity.

Induced neural phase precession through exogeneous electric fields

Miles Wischnewski, Harry Tran, Zhihe Zhao, Sina Shirinpour, Zachary J. Haigh, J. Rotteveel, Nipun D. Perera, Ivan Alekseichuk, Jan Zimmermann, Alexander Opitz

This study shows that alternating current stimulation induces phase precession and synaptic plasticity in humans and non-human primates, providing causal evidence for its role in neuroplasticity.
