Unlabelled: While visual working memory (WM) is strongly associated with reductions in occipitoparietal 8-12 Hz alpha power, the role of 4-7 Hz frontal midline theta power is less clear, with both increases and decreases widely reported. Here, we test the hypothesis that this theta paradox can be explained by non-oscillatory, aperiodic neural activity dynamics. Because traditional time-frequency analyses of electroencephalopgraphy (EEG) data conflate oscillations and aperiodic activity, event-related changes in aperiodic activity can manifest as task-related changes in apparent oscillations, even when none are present.

Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is often associated with acute high-pressure hydrocephalus. Less commonly, an acute low-pressure hydrocephalus (ALPH) variant can develop and contribute to increased morbidity. ALPH is particularly challenging to diagnose and manage, as patients present with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure (ICP) despite the absence of corroborating evidence from ICP measurements.

Theta burst stimulation (TBS) can modulate cortical excitability but suffers from high inter-subject variability. Modified TBS frequency patterns (30 Hz) showed consistent inhibitory aftereffects, but further research into the time course of these effects is needed. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a 30 Hz continuous TBS (cTBS) protocol.

Aim: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are thought to exert a clinical effect through various mechanisms, including through alteration in synaptic plasticity. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can induce temporary changes in synaptic excitability in cerebral cortex that resemble long-term potentiation and long-term depression that serve as a measure of synaptic plasticity in vivo. A version of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation called continuous theta burst stimulation can induce inhibition of cortical excitability that can be measured through a motor evoked potential.
