The ability to conceptualize numerical quantities is an essential human trait. According to the "Triple Code Model" in numerical cognition, distinct neural substrates encode the processing of visual, auditory, and non-symbolic numerical representations. While our contemporary understanding of human number cognition has benefited greatly from advances in clinical imaging, limited studies have investigated the intracranial electrophysiological correlates of number processing.

However, limited data exist on outcomes associated with performing these therapies in tandem. In this case series, we report on 6 patients who underwent combination surgery with either resection or laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) and neuromodulation with responsive neurostimulation (RNS) or deep brain stimulation (DBS).

- The Brain Imaging Data Structure (BIDS) is a community-created standard for organizing neuroscience data and metadata, helping researchers manage various modalities efficiently.
- The paper discusses the evolution of BIDS, including the guiding principles, extension mechanisms, and challenges faced during its development.
- It also highlights key lessons learned from the BIDS project, aiming to inspire and inform researchers in other fields about effective data organization practices.
Objective: Advancements in MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) technology have led to the successful treatment of select movement disorders. Based on the comparative success between ablation and deep brain stimulation, interest arises in focused ultrasound (FUS) as a promising treatment modality for psychiatric illnesses. In this systematic review, the authors examined current applications of FUS for psychiatric conditions and explored its potential opportunities and challenges.

We aimed to identify potential electrophysiological biomarkers of pain in the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) of the thalamus and periaqueductal gray (PAG) using a long-term sensing DBS system.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed power spectra of ambulatory pain-related events from one patient implanted with a long-term sensing generator, representing different pain intensities (pain >7, pain >9) and pain qualities (no pain, burning, stabbing, and shocking pain).
