🧠⚡ We present a biophysically grounded framework coupling realistic neuron morphologies to TMS.

Our model links direct axonal activation to synaptic inputs from L2/3 to L5 neurons, revealing direction- & dose-dependent spatiotemporal patterns.

I’m extremely excited that this work of 3 years is finally published in @brainstimj. Using condition-and-perturb TMS with e-field-based optimized targeting and dosing, we provide causal evidence for hybrid theories of semantic cognition: https://t.co/ADe5oFPOsM

Led by @k_weise_, @brainstimj paper explains mismatch between (macroscopic) electric fields predicted during Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) vs. neuron-level e-field thresholds. Microscopic field inhomogeneity corrects neuron activation threshold https://t.co/8NXXNgrV3n

[Marom Bikson @MaromBikson]

(1/4) A new paper @brainstimj challenges a foundational assumption in computational models of brain stimulation (neuromodulation/electrical stimulation). Rather than suggest prior predictions were wrong, this paper shows how the suitability of this foundational assumption can be evaluated in any application (FES, SCS, DBS, TMS, tDCS, tACS, ETC, TI...). So this will be interesting...

[Ole Numssen @num_ole]

Why is motion correction a thing for fMRI but nobody quantifies it during #TMS?

Well, we just put out a metric to easily quantify within-session movement of the TMS coil, e.g. due to subject movement.

Say hi to pulsewise coil displacement / PCD.
