Human Hippocampal Ripples Signal Encoding of Episodic Memories

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, February 22, 2024 | Neuroscience

Direct human brain recordings have confirmed the presence of high-frequency oscillatory events, termed ripples, during awake behavior. While many prior studies have focused on medial temporal lobe (MTL) ripples during memory retrieval, here we investigate ripples...

Differential Formation of Motor Cortical Dynamics during Movement Preparation According to the Predictability of Go Timing

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, February 22, 2024 | Neuroscience

The motor cortex not only executes but also prepares movement, as motor cortical neurons exhibit preparatory activity that predicts upcoming movements. In movement preparation, animals adopt different strategies in response to uncertainties existing in nature such as...

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound to the Human Dorsal Anterior Cingulate Attenuates Acute Pain Perception and Autonomic Responses

by Clinical Neuropsychologist Online | Thursday, February 22, 2024 | Neuroscience

The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) is a critical brain area for pain and autonomic processing, making it a promising noninvasive therapeutic target. We leverage the high spatial resolution and deep focal lengths of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to...
