On the feasibility of temporal interference stimulation of human brains using two arrays of electrodes

This paper evaluates two-array temporal interference stimulation for deep brain modulation, showing it achieves similar focality to multi-pair TI with faster optimization and fewer electrodes.

One placement, many fields: robust voxel-wise mapping with multichannel TMS

This paper introduces multichannel TMS (mTMS) for robust voxel-wise brain mapping, showing it outperforms single-coil TMS in accuracy and noise resilience.

Enhancing working memories using repetitive TMS

This study uses rTMS to investigate the role of alpha oscillations in working memory, finding that alpha stimulation of the intraparietal sulcus increases memory precision while rhythmic stimulation reduces errors.

Focal Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of the Rat Anterior Cingulate Cortex Inhibits Incubation of Opioid Craving after Voluntary Abstinence

Focal transcranial magnetic stimulation of the rat anterior cingulate cortex reduced relapse-like behavior and restored corticostriatal connectivity during opioid abstinence.

Human cortical slices reveal pulse-number-dependent synaptic plasticity during theta-burst magnetic stimulation

The paper investigates how the number of pulses in theta-burst magnetic stimulation affects synaptic plasticity in human cortical slices, finding that 900 pulses induce potentiation while 600 pulses do not.

Artefact-free EEG during temporal interference stimulation reveals phase-specific modulation of the human visual cortex

The paper develops a method to record EEG during temporal interference stimulation without artefacts and finds phase-specific modulation of visual cortex activity.

Aperiodic neural activity predicts cortical excitability in TMS-EEG

This study shows that pre-stimulus aperiodic neural activity, not periodic alpha/beta power, better predicts cortical excitability measured via TMS-EEG in motor and prefrontal regions.

Repetitive suprathreshold paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation alters corticospinal excitability

This study examines whether repetitive paired-pulse TMS induces offline changes in corticospinal excitability, finding that stimulation targeting inhibition reduces excitability for up to 40 minutes.

Kilohertz electrical stimulation drives widespread neuronal activation and temporal interference imposes focal rhythmic modulation

The paper shows kilohertz-frequency stimulation can activate neurons widely, while temporal interference imposes rhythmic modulation at the AM frequency.

Concurrent anodal tDCS enhances motor learning and increases cortical TrkB phosphorylation

This study shows that concurrent anodal tDCS with motor training improves rotarod performance and increases cortical TrkB phosphorylation in mice.

Real-time posterior probabilistic TMS motor mapping with robust individualized stopping criteria

This paper develops a real-time TMS motor mapping method using rank correlation and posterior probability maps, improving efficiency and individualization over traditional sigmoid fitting.

Causal contribution of motor-parietal network to conscious kinesthetic perception

This study identifies the causal role of the motor-parietal network in conscious kinesthetic perception using combined fMRI and tDCS.

Summed contrasts can conceal reversed regional preferences: directional and dose criteria for screening transcranial direct current stimulation montage pairs

The paper tests screening criteria for tDCS montage pairs to ensure both regional preferences are met, finding that summed indices can miss reversed preferences.

Induction of interhemispheric visual plasticity by paired associative stimulation

This study shows that a novel lateralized visual PAS protocol can induce timing-dependent plasticity in the non-stimulated hemisphere, improving contrast detection and altering interhemispheric transfer.

Optimizing Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation: The Effects of Pulse Parameters on Corticospinal Excitability

This study tests different pulse parameters in iTBS to determine their effect on corticospinal excitability, finding that long bidirectional pulses are more effective than unidirectional ones.

Brief Trains of Closed-loop TMS Induce Controllable Power in FM-theta Oscillations

This study shows that brief TMS trains triggered at specific FM-theta phases can directionally modulate post-train FM-theta power, suggesting a causal role of oscillations in cognition.
