This study demonstrates the feasibility of TI tACS in rats using a digital twin for optimization, showing altered brain activity and metabolism in deep structures.

This paper develops a harmonized MRI QC framework using phantoms to identify sources of variability across field strengths and sites, showing that field strength alone does not fully characterize MRI performance.

The paper examines structural and functional connectivity coupling in the mouse brain after stroke, revealing hemisphere-specific network reorganization that is not detectable when analyzing structural and functional connectivity separately.

This study compares structural connectivity changes in two stroke models in mice, finding that lesion size and location affect dynamic connectivity patterns in sensorimotor regions.

This study uses longitudinal tractography to track thalamocortical degeneration after cortical stroke and shows that hiPSC-derived neuronal transplantation preserves thalamic connectivity and reduces atrophy.

This study applies the Proportional Recovery Rule to mice with cortical stroke, finding two recovery clusters and higher recovery in one cluster compared to human studies.

This study shows that mice with severe loss of nigral dopamine neurons due to mtDNA mutations still maintain motor function through preserved striatal innervation.

This study shows that reactive astrocytes are necessary for promoting beneficial plasticity after ischemic stroke in mice, as their absence leads to impaired recovery and maladaptive connectivity changes.
