A new study reveals the mechanisms behind repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation's effect on the brain in the treatment of depression.
Using whole-brain virtual models, researchers simulate the effects of non-invasive neurostimulation on the aging brain. The computational models shed light on the dynamics of brain changes as a result of aging.
Non-invasive brain stimulation may improve smoking abstinence rates for 3 to 6 months after quitting.
Researchers report the optimal target for brain stimulation depends on the type of dystonia being treated.
Stimulating a part of the auditory cortex called the planum temporale improved speech perception, researchers report.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation helped reduce cannabis use by up to 60% in those with schizophrenia who have cannabis use disorder.
Cognitive deficits as a result of long-COVID can be significantly improved within 3 - 4 days following alternating non-invasive brain stimulation using microcurrents.
Electrical stimulation improves verbal memory for those with responsive neurostimulation implants when activated during certain memory tasks.
Researchers report it's easier to control cognitive activity via transcranial magnetic stimulation in people with the Val/Val genetic variant of BDNF.
Combining deep-brain stimulation with intracranial EEG, researchers achieved an individualized understanding of specific brain networks that contributed to an individual's depression symptoms and identified stimulation patterns best suited to each patient for symptom relief.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be used to modulate brain rhythms and cognitive behaviors related to "giving up" during problem-solving tasks.
A new method that merged artificial intelligence with electrical brain stimulation improved brain functions related to self-control and mental flexibility.
