Imagine a group of neurons constantly fine-tuning their parameters to perfectly capture and encode the ever-changing visuals around them. This is precisely what this study explores – a self-tuning mechanism that allows neurons to adapt rapidly to varying visual stimuli. By leveraging efficient sensory encoding principles, the researchers demonstrate how neural tuning curve parameters can […]

Imagine tuning two guitars, but one of them is slightly out of sync. The result is a discordant sound that doesn’t quite harmonize. Similarly, Parkinson’s disease patients who undergo deep brain stimulation (DBS) experience altered interhemispheric functional connectivity, leading to a decline in verbal fluency (VF). This study focused on understanding the changes in brain […]

Imagine if Alzheimer’s disease were a road trip. Current treatments act like a GPS system, guiding neurotransmission throughout the brain but lacking precision. What if we could take a more targeted route? Well, that’s where directional deep brain stimulation (dDBS) comes in. In a groundbreaking case report, researchers implanted electrodes in the fornix of a […]
