Imagine your brain as a complex network that can get tangled up in knots when you’re feeling depressed. Scientists have developed a new system, called a brain-computer interface (BCI), that can predict and regulate the intricate neural dynamics of major depressive disorder (MDD). Using a simulation study, researchers first modeled the nonlinear and multiband neural […]
Imagine a skilled dancer learning to perform a perfectly timed routine. In the world of the brain, the cerebellar Purkinje cell is like the star dancer controlling eyeblinks, mastering the art of classical conditioning. While most models focus on how upstream networks influence timing, fascinating research demonstrates that directly stimulating the Purkinje cell can still […]
