TL;DR

Preliminary effects suggest that thalamic tFUS can modulate both local and networklevel neural activity and is associated with immediate functional improvement, highlighting its potential as a feasible neuromodulation approach for deep motor circuit engagement in post-stroke rehabilitation.

Altered resting-state network effects in patients after stroke following cortico-cortical target transcranial magnetic stimulation

It is suggested that ccPAS can facilitate recovery by modulating higher-order, distributed brain networks in chronic stroke patients by inducing widespread reorganization of RSNs, enhancing connectivity within and between networks subserving attention, visuospatial processing and sensorimotor integration.

Neurofeedback-induced network plasticity in motor and default mode networks correlates with motor recovery after stroke

Investigation of how NF training influences whole-brain functional connectivity in chronic stroke patients using a data-driven, network-level approach revealed significant reductions within motor networks and the default mode network in the NF group, while no significant effects were found in the MI control group.

Central medial thalamic nucleus–targeted temporal interference stimulation promotes arousal: translational evidence from optimized preclinical models to patients with disorders of consciousness

Optimal TIS parameters significantly promoted arousal, accelerated righting reflex recovery, and increased respiratory rate, and CM-targeted TIS preferentially activated CM neurons, enhanced cortical beta/gamma oscillations, and suppressed delta activity.

Distinct tDCS montages act via dissociable lateralization mechanisms to enhance motor function in chronic stroke

It is demonstrated that distinct tDCS montages modulate stroke-induced network imbalances through dissociable lateralization mechanisms, and these findings provide critical mechanistic insights into interhemispheric network dynamics.

Non-invasive brain stimulation increases default mode network functional connectivity in a patient with Posterior Cortical Atrophy

This case report supports further controlled clinical trials using functional connectivity guided rTMS in PCA and supports the hypothesis that intermittent theta burst, a form of rTMS, can modulate functional networks and improve associative memory in a patient with PCA presenting with memory impairments.
