In the search for the perfect spot to stimulate the subthalamic nucleus (STN) in deep brain stimulation (DBS) for primary dystonia, scientists turned to the medial STN border as a reference point. The location of the stimulation contacts within the dorsolateral sensorimotor area of the STN is crucial for treatment success, but what constitutes an […]
Just like a jigsaw puzzle, the pieces of cognitive science are coming together to reveal the intricate workings of the human mind. However, recent research has shown that these puzzle pieces vary across cultures, contexts, and individuals, adding another layer of complexity. To better understand this variation, experts in the field argue that we need […]
IntroductionThe relative oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO) measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been considered as an index for cognitive loading, with the more difficult the task, the higher the level. A previous study reported that young adults who received transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) showed a reduced HbO of a difficult task, suggesting that tPBM may enhance […]
