10:00 - 12:30 Weekly Seminar 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 ... |
