Differential glutamatergic and GABAergic responses drive divergent prefrontal cortex neural outcomes to low and high frequency stimulation

Posted by dbos March 4, 2025March 19, 2025UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Mishra Jyoti and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Background Repetitive brain stimulation is hypothesized to bidirectionally modulate excitability, with low-frequency trains decreasing and high-frequency (>5 Hz) trains increasing activity. Most insights on the neuroplastic effects of repetitive stimulation protocols stem from […]
