Neuromodulation systems based on electrical stimulation can be used to investigate, probe, and potentially treat a range of neurological disorders. The effects of ongoing neural state and dynamics on stimulation response, and of stimulation parameters on neural state, have broad implications for the development of closed-loop neuro-modulation approaches. We describe the development of a modular, low-latency platform for pre-clinical, closed-loop neuromodulation studies with human participants. We illustrate the uses of the platform in a stimulation case study with a person with epilepsy undergoing neuro-monitoring prior to resective surgery. We demonstrate the efficacy of the system by tracking interictal epileptiform discharges in the local field potential to trigger intracranial electrical stimulation, and show that the response to stimulation depends on the neural state.

Background: The significance of tactile stimulation in human social development and personal interaction is well documented; however, the underlying cerebral processes remain under-researched. This study employed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the neural correlates of social touch processing, with a particular focus on the functional connectivity associated with the aftereffects of touch.

Methods: A total of 27 experimental subjects were recruited for the study, all of whom underwent a 5-minute calf and foot massage prior to undergoing resting-state fMRI.

The Brain's Aging Resting State Functional Connectivity.

J Integr Neurosci

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, OK 73104, USA.

Resting state networks (RSNs) of the brain are characterized as correlated spontaneous time-varying fluctuations in the absence of goal-directed tasks. These networks can be local or large-scale spanning the brain. The study of the spatiotemporal properties of such networks has helped understand the brain's fundamental functional organization under healthy and diseased states.

JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) establishes a persistent, asymptomatic kidney infection in most of the population. However, JCPyV can reactivate in immunocompromised individuals and cause progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a fatal demyelinating disease with no approved treatment. Mutations in the hypervariable non-coding control region (NCCR) of the JCPyV genome have been linked to disease outcomes and neuropathogenesis, yet few metanalyses document these associations.

Background/objectives: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common high-grade primary brain cancer in adults. Despite efforts to advance treatment, GBM remains treatment resistant and inevitably progresses after first-line therapy. Induced neural stem cell (iNSC) therapy is a promising, personalized cell therapy approach that has been explored to circumvent challenges associated with the current GBM treatment.

Background: Food image recognition, a crucial step in computational gastronomy, has diverse applications across nutritional platforms. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used for this task due to their ability to capture hierarchical features. However, they struggle with long-range dependencies and global feature extraction, which are vital in distinguishing visually similar foods or images where the context of the whole dish is crucial, thus necessitating transformer architecture.
