Efficient Gaussian process-based motor hotspot hunting with concurrent optimization of TMS coil location and orientation
BACKGROUND Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a widely used technique in neuroscience research and clinical practice. It allows scientists and…
Repetitive magnetic stimulation induces persistent structural and functional plasticity
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive method used clinically to modulate brain activity. While it is known to…
Enhancing brain mapping by optimizing brain stimulation
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique used to study brain function and to influence neural activity in both…
Repetitive Magnetic Stimulation: A Deeper Look at Synaptic Plasticity Mechanisms
Our latest study, published in Brain Stimulation, takes a closer look at how repetitive magnetic stimulation (rMS) influences the brain…
Microglia: Key Mediators of rTMS-Induced Brain Plasticity
In our new review, we explore how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive technique that uses magnetic fields to stimulate…
Tetrodotoxin and Synaptic Plasticity: Uncovering Molecular Targets for Neural Adaptation
Understanding how the brain adapts to changes in activity is crucial for insights into neural health and disease. Homeostatic synaptic…
Clinical Parameters Affect Pyramidal Neurons in the Human Neocortex
Neuronal adaptability, or plasticity, is fundamental to how the human brain processes and responds to changes throughout life. Within the…
Ammonium Chloride Disrupts Synaptic Transmission: The Role of Astrocytes in Hyperammonemia-Induced Neurotoxicity
In our latest study, we demonstrate that ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) significantly reduces excitatory synaptic transmission onto CA1 pyramidal neurons in…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) triggers dose-dependent homeostatic rewiring in recurrent neuronal networks
In our latest study, we show that the effect of rTMS on structural plasticity critically depends on stimulation intensity, frequency,…
