Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies

This study applies continuous TBS to awake rhesus monkeys and finds a long-lasting reduction in parietal neuron excitability and impaired grasping behavior.

This paper shows that individual beliefs about receiving active or placebo treatment better explain outcome variability than the actual treatment in neurostimulation studies.

This study shows that higher post-stroke fatigue is associated with reduced corticospinal excitability suppression and increased facilitation during movement preparation, leading to slower reaction times.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of combining cognitive training with tDCS in stroke survivors, finding significant training effects but no additional benefit from tDCS, and no strong link between pre-training brain activation and cognitive gains.

This study investigates whether genetic polymorphisms influence inter-individual variability in response to cathodal tDCS, finding no significant genetic associations.

This study shows that anti-phase tACS between V1 and V5 improves motion discrimination by altering phase-amplitude coupling in the alpha band.

This study shows that rhythmic rTMS at 35 mV/mm increases mu-alpha rhythm synchronization and reduces MEPs, while arrhythmic rTMS does not affect synchronization but increases mu-alpha/beta power.

This study shows temporal interference stimulation selectively targets deep brain regions by modulating neural oscillations through network adaptation and membrane time-constants.

This study investigates whether predictive coding affects neural responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) by comparing MEP amplitudes under predictable and unpredictable conditions.

This study investigates the effect of HD-tDCS on preSMA to improve inhibitory control, finding that both anodal and cathodal stimulation enhanced performance compared to sham.

This study evaluates whether the end-of-study guess is a valid measure of sham blinding in tDCS by comparing sensitivity during active and sham protocols at different current intensities.

This study examines how tDCS affects brain networks during creative thinking and its impact on creative performance.

This study develops individual head models for rats using X-ray tomography to estimate TMS-induced electric fields and shows that head shape deviations significantly affect E-field distribution.

This study shows that rTMS and the EPG gene improve mobility, reduce anxiety, and enhance neuroplasticity after nerve injury in rats.

This study examines if genetic polymorphisms predict variability in response to anodal tDCS in the primary motor cortex, finding an association between GABRA3 polymorphisms and tDCS response.

This study tests whether tACS directly or indirectly affects neural activity by blocking somatosensory input, finding that neural entrainment occurs even when somatosensory pathways are blocked.

This study investigates the effects of multi-day rTMS on functional connectivity and associative memory, finding no long-term memory improvement but site-specific short-term connectivity changes.

This study assesses the reliability of TMS cortical mapping for multiple hand muscles, finding high relative reliability in MCR overlaps but poor reliability in COG and hotspot shifts.

This study examines if moderate and light intensity exercise can buffer the effects of cTBS on the dlPFC, showing improved task performance and faster ERP latencies after moderate exercise.

This study shows that cTBS increases neuroinflammation and inhibits neurogenesis after pneumococcal meningitis in rats.

This study shows that cerebellar tDCS enhances motor learning by altering putamen-cerebellar connectivity, as revealed through simultaneous tDCS-fMRI.

This study investigates how short-time intermittent tACS affects alpha-band oscillations, finding phase-independent suppression in specific brain regions and highlighting inter-individual differences in response.

This study examines the effects of tRNS on prefrontal cortex excitation-inhibition balance in juvenile mice, finding reduced GAD 65-67 levels with tRNS 1x but no significant changes in tRNS 100x or sham groups.

The paper quantifies cortical depth variability across the brain surface using MRI data and finds high variability even in primary visual and motor areas, suggesting poor reliability for TMS dose-setting based on standard regions.

This study shows that transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS) modulates spike timing in awake nonhuman primates in a dose-dependent manner, with higher intensities increasing neuronal entrainment.

This study examines the effect of 20 Hz tACS on motor memory consolidation at critical post-training time points and finds no significant impact on performance.

The paper applies rTMS to SH-SY5Y cells to study its effects on neural activity using live calcium imaging, finding opposing effects of iTBS and cTBS on depolarization response.

This study shows that fMRI neurofeedback can modulate ipsilateral motor cortex activity and induce opposite changes in corpus callosum white matter microstructure in healthy adults.

This study shows that tACS at individual alpha frequency alters alpha power and predicts visuospatial attention bias, supporting synchronization theory.

This study finds that TMS-evoked propagation of neural signals in frontoparietal regions correlates with better global cognitive performance, but not local activity.
