This study applies TBS to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and observes changes in aMCC excitability and goal-directed behavior.

This study evaluates real-time EEG-TMS methods, finding that a new algorithm performs as well as existing methods but is more efficient.

This study investigates the effects of brain stimulation on sustained attention but finds no significant reduction in the vigilance decrement using tDCS or theta tACS.

This study investigates how the phase of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) affects visually evoked steady state responses (SSRs) in humans, finding that phase shifts modulate SSR amplitudes and that optimal timing depends on neural conduction times.

The paper quantifies TMS intensity thresholds for inducing pain at Broca's area and M1, finding they are lower than motor thresholds and no sex differences exist.

The paper introduces a flexible workflow for simulating transcranial electric stimulation in healthy and lesioned brains using open-source tools.

This study applies long-interval paired-pulse TMS to motion-sensitive visual cortex but finds no changes in motion perception.

The paper investigates how baseline functional network properties of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex predict resilience to inhibitory rTMS, finding that globally integrated regions show greater resilience.

This study investigates the effects of tDCS on stopping latency markers using EEG and EMG, finding no effect of active tDCS on stopping latencies and highlighting variability among latency markers.

The paper shows that lower excitability in early visual cortex predicts stronger mental imagery and that reducing excitability increases imagery strength.

This study investigates how short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) changes during motor imagery using an adaptive threshold-hunting paradigm and finds that SICI modulation depends on conditioning stimulus intensity.

This study tests if online rTMS improves working memory in older adults, finding it instead decreases accuracy in high-demand tasks.

This study uses tDCS to modulate dream movement during REM sleep, finding reduced dream movement but no effect on other bodily sensations.

This study uses nrTMS to show that stimulating the medial prefrontal cortex improves reality monitoring and mood in healthy individuals.

This study examines M1 cortical excitability in orthopedic trauma patients with acute pain, finding reduced intracortical inhibition and facilitation in those with moderate to severe pain.

The paper compares the sound levels of seven TMS coils at matched stimulation strength, finding significant variation in sound pressure levels and recommending hearing protection.

This study shows that tDCS applied to the prefrontal cortex improves behavior and EEG markers of consciousness in some DoC patients.

This study tests Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) in awake rats to induce plasticity but finds no reliable change in corticospinal excitability despite multiple stimulus pairings.

This study investigates how non-invasive brain stimulation affects different cortical regions and individuals, finding varied effects on functional connectivity and neural signaling.

This paper uses computational modeling with age-specific MRI templates to show that cerebellar lobule-specific dosing of ctDCS varies with age, affecting EF distribution and reducing specificity in older adults.

This study shows that repeated tDCS to the vmPFC increases positivity bias for pleasant stimuli and decreases it for unpleasant ones, with cumulative effects over multiple sessions.

This study identifies TMS-evoked EEG potentials (TEPs) that are site- and stimulation-specific by analyzing cosine similarity across different stimulation sites and active vs. sham TMS.

This study examines the effects of tDCS on GABA and glutamate levels in children's brains, finding increased glutamate in the HD-tDCS group but no changes in GABA.
