TL;DR

The results show that the interpretability of extracellular signals depends critically on neuronal morphology and synchronization state, and provide a mechanistic framework for the use of STN LFPs as biomarkers in adaptive deep brain stimulation for Parkinson’s disease.

A Whole-Brain Dynamical Framework Linking Resting-State Activity to TMS-Evoked Responses

A major challenge in systems neuroscience is understanding how external perturbations interact with ongoing brain activity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), increasingly used in both basic and clinical neuroscience and often combined with electroencephalography (EEG), provides a unique opportunity to probe this...

Evidence for traveling beta waves in the parkinsonian subthalamic nucleus

Beta oscillations (13–35 Hz) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet little is known about their spatial dynamics. Since traveling waves (spatially propagating oscillations) have been observed in cortical and subcortical structures at different frequencies, we hypothesized that...

Mechanisms of Correlated Neuronal Activity in the Globus Pallidus

A computational model was developed in which GPe neurons are represented as coupled phase oscillators influenced by experimentally derived phase-response curves and extrinsic inputs, showing that while the model captures general trends, discrepancies exist in peak amplitude and decay rates, suggesting that key biologic...

Functional connectivity gradients depend on cortical sampling position and brain state

Functional-connectivity analyses often treat signals sampled from nearby cortical positions as interchangeable, despite anatomical and hemodynamic transitions at the gray-white boundary. We tested whether sampling position constitutes a state-sensitive dimension of macroscale functional organization. In 176 Human Conne...

Parvalbumin interneurons contribute to spontaneous hemodynamic fluctuations

Evidence is provided that PV interneuron contribute to spontaneous neurovascular dynamics and to the link between gamma oscillations and resting-state hemodynamic signals, pointing to a significant role in neurovascular changes during non-task-engaged brain states.

Computational Insights Into Neuromodulation: How Electric Fields Shape Motor Neuron Excitability

It is suggested that low-intensity EEFs produce modest, morphology-dependent modulation of MN electrophysiological properties, and that variability in neuronal structure and orientation may help explain discrepancies across previous experimental and modeling studies.
