This study shows that cathodal tDCS modulates fear response extinction by altering neural activity and connectivity in prefrontal and cerebellar pathways during delayed extinction.

This study investigates the trade-off between the number of coils and focality in multi-locus transcranial magnetic stimulation (mTMS) transducers, showing that wider cortical control is achievable with less focality.

This study shows that prefrontal stimulation before motor sequence learning alters multivoxel patterns in the striatum and hippocampus, suggesting effects on offline consolidation.

This paper introduces a method to map the human motor cortex with high resolution using nonlinear regression of electric fields and motor evoked potentials.

This study shows subthreshold rTMS induces structural synaptic plasticity in both young and aged mouse motor cortex, with effects dependent on stimulation frequency.

This study shows that 10 Hz rTMS induces synaptic plasticity via microglia-released cytokines, with TNF and IL6 playing a key role.

This study shows that tACS competes with endogenous brain oscillations to control spike timing, with its effect depending on the relative strength of stimulation and neural entrainment.

The paper uses multivariate pattern analysis to show that tACS to the left motor cortex induces location-specific EEG aftereffects compared to cerebellum and sham conditions.

The paper introduces NeMo-TMS, a toolbox for simulating TMS-induced neuronal and subcellular responses across scales, enabling detailed modeling of TMS effects.

This study shows that rhythmic TMS can entrain alpha oscillations in occipital cortex, with entrainment strength correlated with individual alpha frequency.

This study examines how TMS bursts affect local and network EEG oscillations during lower-limb movement in elderly subjects, finding increased theta activity and resting-state alpha activity.

This study examines the effects of slow oscillatory tACS on motor cortical excitability using TMS and finds increased MEP amplitude post-stimulation without phase-dependent modulation.

This study shows that brain stimulation enhances perceptual learning by reducing GABA levels and altering functional connectivity between visual and decision-related brain areas.

This paper introduces personalized Bayesian optimization for neurointervention, showing it can effectively recommend stimulation parameters based on individual baseline abilities.

This study examines the effect of anodal tDCS on laparoscopic peg-transfer task performance and finds no significant difference between tDCS and sham stimulation, but notes overall performance improvement over time.

This study examines the effects of multi-day rTMS and cardiorespiratory fitness on working memory and GABA concentration, finding no benefit from parietal rTMS but some improvement with pre-SMA rTMS and fitness.

This study examines how white matter structure and brain state interact to influence tDCS-induced changes in brain network activity in healthy and TBI participants.
