This study investigates how L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID) relates to microstructural changes in brain circuits, finding brainwide alterations beyond the nigrostriatal system.

This study identifies off-target neural pathways activated during carotid baroreceptor stimulation in swine, contributing to side-effects of baroreflex activation therapy.

This paper introduces a Deep Recurrent Q-Learning model that learns to perform a task-switching task without explicit cues, showing behavior similar to non-human primates.

This paper characterizes the anatomy of trigeminal nerve branches and uses computational models to show that superficial branches activate nociceptors more than nerve trunks, suggesting potential off-target effects.

This study uses diffusion imaging and tractography to analyze structural connectivity changes in a rat model of Parkinson's Disease, identifying lesion-specific and compensatory neural networks.

This study shows that combining intraoperative electrical stimulation with trigeminal nerve stimulation improves motor recovery in a rat peripheral nerve injury model.

This study identifies and characterizes sources of artifact contaminating evoked compound action potentials (ECAPs) in epidural spinal cord recordings, highlighting challenges in distinguishing neural signals from artifacts in a swine model.

This paper demonstrates the use of intraoperative ultrasound to visualize pig vagus nerve fascicular organization (vagotopy) and improve cuff placement for vagus nerve stimulation.

This study uses pupil dilation as a biosensor to assess real-time effects of vagus nerve stimulation on brain state in mice.

The paper characterizes the anatomy of the cervical vagus nerve in domestic pigs, identifying structural features relevant to vagus nerve stimulation and comparing them across species.

This paper demonstrates the acute and chronic performance of optically transparent μECoG grids on a thinned skull, showing stable impedances and reliable optogenetic activation and spatially distinct recordings.

This study shows that cervical vagus nerve stimulation increases cerebrospinal fluid penetration into the brain, suggesting potential clinical implications for CNS disorders.

The paper shows that propagating patterns of cortical excitability in M1 are necessary for movement initiation and can decode muscle activity more accurately.
