Optimized Theta Burst Stimulation with Extended Intervals Enhances Excitatory-Inhibitory Balance

Posted by dbos May 28, 2025June 2, 2025This Week: Neuroscience, UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Dhakshin Ramanathan and Jyoti Mishra | Authors: Morteza Salimi, Milad Nazari, Jonathan Mishler, Jennifer Rodger, Sahar Jomehpour, Jyoti Mishra and Dhakshin Ramanathan | Summary: Varying inter-train intervals (ITIs) during theta burst stimulation (TBS) differentially modulates neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex. Short ITIs (e.g., ITI 4 s) induce strong glutamatergic excitation but […]

Neuroticism Heterogeneity Through Item-Level Associations in Resting-State Functional Connectivity

Posted by dbos May 27, 2025June 2, 2025UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Masaya Misaki, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley K Thompson, Heekyeong Park, Bohan Xu and Martin M Paulus | Summary: Neuroticism is characterized by emotional instability and increased susceptibility to stress-related disorders. While traditionally treated as a unitary construct, growing evidence suggests that neuroticism is heterogeneous in both its genetic basis […]

GABAergic signaling by VIP interneurons gates running-dependent visual recovery in the adult brain

Posted by dbos May 23, 2025June 2, 2025UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Anna Lebedeva, Friedrich Kling, Benjamin Rakela, Michael P Stryker and Yujiao Jennifer Sun | Summary: Experience-dependent plasticity in the adult visual cortex is enhanced by locomotion, a process mediated by vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)-expressing interneurons. While VIP interneurons are known to signal through both Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and VIP […]

Shared and distinct cortical mechanisms for working memory and decision-making.

Posted by dbos May 21, 2025June 2, 2025Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Daeyeol Lee | Authors: Hyojung Seo, Daeyeol Lee and Shanna K Murray | Summary: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) in the primate brain are critically involved in working memory during tasks that require the retention of information over a delay. These same regions have also been implicated in […]
