Stimulation of specific neurons expressing opsins in a targeted region to manipulate brain function has proved to be a powerful tool in neuroscience. However, the use of visible light for optogenetic stimulation is invasive due to low…
Negative emotional responses to the daily life stresses have cumulative effects which, in turn, impose wide-ranging negative constraints on emotional well being and neurocognitive performance (Kalueff:2007cp, Charles:2013eq, Nadler:2010hk).…
Functional connectivity (FC) between brain regions tracks symptom severity in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) directly alters regional activity and indirectly alters FC. Predicting how FC will change…
Objective: The strengths of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) are its capability of imaging the internal body by using a noninvasive, radiation safe technique, and the absence of known hazards. In this paper we introduce a novel idea of…
Function and dysfunctions of neural systems are tied to the temporal evolution of neural states. The current limitations in showing their causal role stem largely from the absence of tools capable of probing the brain's internal state in…
