Non-invasive stimulation of the human striatum disrupts reinforcement learning of motor skills

Elena Beanato, Esra Neufeld, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Traian Popa, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Fabienne Windel

Reinforcement feedback can improve motor learning, but the underlying brain mechanisms remain underexplored. In particular, the causal contribution of specific patterns of oscillatory activity within the human striatum is unknown. To address this question, ...

Noninvasive theta-burst stimulation of the human striatum enhances striatal activity and motor skill learning

Elena Beanato, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Esra Neufeld, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Chang-Hyun Park, Traian Popa, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Pauline Menoud, Fabienne Windel

The stimulation of deep brain structures has thus far only been possible with invasive methods. Transcranial electrical temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) is a novel, noninvasive technology that might overcome this limitation. The initial proof-of-co ...

Understanding ultrasound neuromodulation using a computationally efficient and interpretable model of intramembrane cavitation

Théo Lemaire, Silvestro Micera, Esra Neufeld

Objective. Low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) emerges as an attracting technology for noninvasive modulation of neural circuits, yet the underlying action mechanisms remain unclear. The neuronal intramembrane cavitation excitation (NICE) ...

MorphoSONIC: A morphologically structured intramembrane cavitation model reveals fiber-specific neuromodulation by ultrasound

Théo Lemaire, Silvestro Micera, Esra Neufeld, Elena Vicari

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (LIFUS) holds promise for the remote modulation of neural activity, but an incomplete mechanistic characterization hinders its clinical maturation. Here we developed a computational framework to model intramembr ...

Noninvasive modulation of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex during spatial navigation in humans

Olaf Blanke, Elena Beanato, Hyukjun Moon, Esra Neufeld, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Baptiste Gauthier, Traian Popa, Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Emanuela De Falco, Pauline Menoud, Fabienne Windel

Because of the depth of the hippocampal-entorhinal complex (HC-EC) in the brain, understanding of its role in spatial navigation via neuromodulation was limited in humans. Here, we aimed to better elucidate this relationship in healthy volunteers, using tr ...
