Researchers discovered unique neuron response patterns to electrical stimulation, which could aid in precise brain therapies.
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai and the Allen Institute's Brain and Consciousness group discovered unique neuron response patterns to electrical stimulation (ES), which could aid doctors in fine-tuning ES for more precise brain therapies. The study, published in Neuron, used tissue samples from mice and humans, revealing that neurons of different cell classes synchronize with external electric fields, regardless of cortical area or species. This finding may revolutionize the treatment of complex brain disorders by adjusting stimulation frequency to target specific neuron types.
