Rewiring of brain networks by electrical stimulation

School
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

Several brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia and depression are associated with abnormal brain activity and/or connectivity. Reorganization of brain circuits by electrical stimulation has the potential to restore normal brain function. Increasing evidence suggests that the temporal stimulation pattern crucially determines the long-lasting therapeutic effects of stimulation. Here, we tested whether a specific pattern of brain stimulation can enable the suppression of pathologically strong inter-population connectivity through plasticity. More specifically, we tested how introducing a time sh ...
