Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the brain: What is stimulated? - A consensus and critical position paper

Transcranial (electro)magnetic stimulation (TMS) is currently the method of choice to non-invasively induce neural activity in the human brain. A single transcranial stimulus induces a time-varying electric field in the brain that may evoke action potentia ...

Clinical neuroscience and neurotechnology: An amazing symbiosis

Silvestro Micera, Marco Biasizzo

In the last decades, clinical neuroscience found a novel ally in neurotechnologies, devices able to record and stimulate electrical activity in the nervous system. These technologies improved the ability to diagnose and treat neural disorders. Neurotechnol ...

Does anodal cerebellar tDCS boost transfer of after-effects from throwing to pointing during prism adaptation?

Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury

Prism Adaptation (PA) is a useful method to study the mechanisms of sensorimotor adaptation. After-effects following adaptation to the prismatic deviation constitute the probe that adaptive mechanisms occurred, and current evidence suggests an involvement ...

Comparison of Responses to DCN vs. VCN Stimulation in a Mouse Model of the Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI)

Nicolas Vachicouras, Stéphanie Lacour, Florent-Valéry Coen

The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is an auditory neuroprosthesis that provides hearing to deaf patients by electrically stimulating the cochlear nucleus (CN) of the brainstem. Whether such stimulation activates one or the other of the CN's two major sub ...

Exploring the spatial resolution of TMS-EEG coupling on the sensorimotor region

Sylvain Jean-François Harquel, Estelle Emeline Raffin

The use of TMS-EEG coupling as a neuroimaging tool for the functional exploration of the human brain recently gained strong interest. If this tool directly inherits the fine temporal resolution from EEG, its spatial counterpart remains unknown. In this stu ...

Personalizable computational models of electrical spinal cord stimulation to restore function after neurological disorders

Andreas Rowald

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) disrupts the communication between the brain and spinal circuits below the lesion, leading to a plethora of neurological impairments, including the loss of motor function. At present, the only medical practices to enhance recovery ...

Enhancing visual motion discrimination by desynchronizing bifocal oscillatory activity

Martin Seeber, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Estelle Emeline Raffin, Roberto Felipe Salamanca Giron, Sarah Bernardina Zandvliet

Visual motion discrimination involves reciprocal interactions in the alpha band between the primary visual cortex (V1) and mediotemporal areas (V5/MT). We investigated whether modulating alpha phase synchronization using individualized multisite transcrani ...
