Zapping the right brain cells: The path to improved stimulation - EurekAlert


Researchers discovered that different types of neurons showed distinct patterns of ‘syncing up’ with electrical fields. These patterns varied depending on the rate at which the electrical stimulation was delivered. The findings, published today in Neuron, could help doctors fine tune where, when, and how to apply electrical stimulation to the brain.
