Brain stimulation & Neuromodulation

Combining non-invasive neuromodulation with invasive deep brain stimulation to understand the basal ganglia cortical circuits and Two decades of NBS in CN: comprehensive summary of synaptic plasticity induction using PAS, TBS and QPS

Various brain stimulation techniques, such as non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS): repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating brain stimulation (tACS), and transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation (taVNS), have been utilised in the management of neuropsychiatric conditions. NIBS is a non-invasive, safe, and effective mode of investigation that explores the physiology of cortical circuits in health and disease. Generally, single or paired pulses of TMS are used to investigate cortical excitability functions, which are altered in various neuropsychiatric disorders. rTMS and multiple patterns of stimuli delivered over time change the stimulated region's excitability for an extended period (so-called plasticity effects), thus providing therapeutic potentials in neuropsychiatric disorders with precision neuromodulation. Further, how Invasive Neuromodulation techniques, such as DBS, are a treatment tool for Movement Disorders, and how intraoperative Neuromophysiology can be used as a Neurophysiological biomarker for movement disorders by exploring various studies in this field.
