Our latest paper on multi-locus #TMS uses a 2-coil array and a paired-pulse TMS paradigm to evaluate the optimal orientation for #SICI and #ICF. Worth checking out. 🧠⚡️

[Primary motor cortex] Souza et al.: "Multi-channel TMS electronically changes the stimulus orientation in milliseconds. The effect of neuronal refractoriness, short-interval intracortical inhibition, and intracortical facilitation depends on the stimulus orientation. Maximum inhibition and facilitation with conditioning pulse at posterolateral and anteromedial orientation, respectively."

Robotics augment the multi-locus #TMS capabilities. The mTMS coils can be automatically placed on the scalp and the #brain is precisely scanned through our @invesalius #neuronavigation. Our paper in @brainstimj https://t.co/ArascTFkIK

‘Sometimes there have to be storms, snow and slush. We were recently skiing in the Alps. The snow hit my face and I couldn't see much of anything. But it would be rather boring to live in eternal sunshine,’ says Risto Ilmoniemi.

How do you feel about it?

Discussing neuroscience with kids is an amazing experience that pushes us to rethink our research and present our work in a clearer way. Check our experience from last year's @OHBM for kids.

Thanks @Kangjoo_Lee_ and @hansenmoraes for the blog post!

Let's make some noise! #TMS pulses make a very loud acoustic noise inside and outside the #MRI. There's also a new method to record this impulse sound. 🎶🥁🧠

Planning a new study on #TMS? In this opinion paper, we discuss how adaptive closed-loop #TMS has potential to improve rehabilitation, with special focus on #stroke. @AaltoUniversity @uni_tue @MamboUnich @rjirjirji @ulfziemann1 @Connect2Brain @plioumis

[TMS] Rösch et al.: "We here argue that closed-loop transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has potential in enhancing rehabilitation, and we will highlight the distinction between non-adaptive closed-loop TMS, and adaptive closed-loop TMS."

New paper in Imaging Neuroscience @mitpress by Konstantin Weise, Thomas R. Knösche, et al:

Directional sensitivity of cortical neurons towards TMS-induced electric fields

https://t.co/12LdX1SwWr

[Victor Hugo Souza @vhosouza]

@brainstimj @brainstimj this is a misleading and click-bait summary. This study does NOT eliminate the need for neuronavigation. Navigated TMS is not only for anatomical targeting (topic of the paper) but also to ensure reproducible, consistent TMS coil positioning across sessions.

[Victor Hugo Souza @vhosouza]

When simulations meet experimental data! Check our cool findings on the neuronal response to changes in #tms stimulus orientation. #brainstimulation @ImagingNeurosci @AaltoUniversity

[Konstantin Weise @k_weise_]

I am very excited that our new paper entitled "Directional Sensitivity of Cortical Neurons Towards #TMS Induced Electric Fields" is published in @ImagingNeurosci
🥳
We are extremely happy to support this great new Journal with our work!
