Towards individualized deep brain stimulation: A stereoelectroencephalography-based workflow for neurostimulation target identification

This paper develops a statistics-driven workflow using stereoelectroencephalography to identify personalized deep brain stimulation targets through power analysis and effect size calculations.

Human Anterior Insular Cortex Encodes Multiple Electrophysiological Representations of Anxiety-Related Behaviors

The paper identifies electrophysiological activity in the anterior insular cortex associated with anxiety-related behaviors and suggests it as a potential therapeutic target.

Circuit dissection and functional validation of a cross-species emotional biomarker

The paper identifies a cross-species emotional biomarker based on beta-frequency communication between the ventral hippocampus and basolateral amygdala, showing it causally modulates anxiety-related behaviors in mice and correlates with human mood and anxiety.

Naturalistic affective behaviors decoded from spectro-spatial features of multi-day human intracranial recordings

This study decodes naturalistic affective behaviors from multi-day intracranial recordings using classifiers, finding high accuracy in distinguishing positive, negative, and affectless behaviors.

Distributed Subnetworks of Depression Defined by Direct Intracranial Neurophysiology

This study uses direct neural recordings to identify two subnetworks associated with depression, characterized by hypoconnectivity and hyperconnectivity in specific brain regions.

Chronic wireless streaming of invasive neural recordings at home for circuit discovery and adaptive stimulation

This paper describes a wireless neural interface for long-term home monitoring of neural activity in Parkinson's disease patients, enabling adaptive stimulation and behavioral state decoding.
