New study by G. Rabuffo et al. shows pre-stimulus whole-brain dynamics predict and control trial-by-trial stimulation outcomes. High-density EEG and SEEG biomarkers reveal a network hierarchy peaking in sensorimotor regions to enable prospective closed-loop state selection.

[Marom Bikson @MaromBikson]

New @brainstimj review: Taylor, Stagg, Bègue, Bikson, Brunoni, Caulfield, Ng, Doose, Sackeim, George. Accelerating the therapeutic effects of non-invasive brain stimulation: A Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies (NSAS) challenge workshop. https://t.co/d6jsqEbnEl

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

New in @BrainStimJrnl: Petru Isan et al. on Motor Cortex Stimulation for pain relief.
⚡️No cortical sweet-spot
⚡️Relief uses 90-100mm fibers
⚡️MCS hits distant centers

"Transient disruption of bladder control linked to periaqueductal gray fibers following deep brain stimulation (#DBS) for #psychiatric disorders" - new 📄 by @drpouratian & team @brainstimj. https://t.co/o4o0RFRFjB @UTSWMedCenter @UTSWBrain #Neurosurgery

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

New in Brain Stimulation: Real-time E-field neuronavigation on realistic head models for conventional & multi-locus TMS!

Ana M. Soto et al. present a robust framework accounting for cortical folding.

[CIMeC UniTrento @cimec_unitrento]

🧵 1/2 New publication in Brain Stimulation @brainstimj: our Prof. Luigi Cattaneo @cimec_unitrento is the lead author, together with first author Pier Paolo Berti and colleagues from the Neurosurgery Unit of Bolzano and the University of Milan.

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

New from Berti et al. - Single-pulse TMS over the ventral precentral gyrus evokes MEP-independent silent periods in hand muscles - a non-invasive window into premotor negative motor areas.

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

New in Brain Stimulation:
Yingjian Liu et al. show cerebellar tFUS suppresses seizures!
•10kHz PRF favors inhibition
•Mediated by cerebellar cortex
•Higher delta-gamma coupling

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

New from Feng, Liu, & Zhao! Epidural 5mA stim restores consciousness via frontal (not parietal) lobes & enhances connectivity. Bone stim fails to restore these features.

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

Out now! Jeffrey Lim, Po T. Wang et al. present the first bidirectional BCI for walking that restores both motor control and bilateral leg sensation. This embedded system uses interhemispheric ECoG for high-performance real-time gait.

Can #MachineLearning program #DBS as well as neurologists in #ParkinsonsDisease?
In our prospective blinded trial, ML using a single-session fMRI predicted optimal DBS contacts with outcomes non-inferior to expert clinical programming.

[Heather Burrell Ward, MD @hbwardMD]

This is the first single-session 🧲TMS study with pre/post 🧠MRI in schizophrenia followed by an ⚡️ACCELERATED 5-session🧲TMS study with pre/post 🧠MRI in schizophrenia that reduces nicotine craving and DMN connectivity -> a novel🎯 for 🚭 in schizophrenia

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

@hbwardMD et al: DMN-targeted TMS modulates nicotine craving in psychotic disorders. Lower DMN connectivity linked to tobacco use in psychosis & cTBS reduced both craving & connectivity. A novel target for smoking cessation in schizophrenia.

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

New in @brainstimj | Lee et al. reveal that tES-generated electric fields are inhomogeneous across cortical layers in primates - peaking in layers 2/3 - explained by layer-specific effective conductivity. Key insights for neuromodulation modeling!

[Brain Stimulation @brainstimj]

Chen et al. reveal tDCS mechanisms in vivo across clinically relevant field strengths. Low fields modulate excitatory neurons while sparing inhibitory ones, with layer-specific polarization driving spike changes.
