Neurological diseases such as neurodegeneration, stroke, and brain tumors are often studied as separate conditions, yet they share common neuroimaging features and biological mechanisms. This talk introduces the human brain connectome as a unifying framework to explain how molecular pathology, focal lesions, and structural damage spread across large-scale brain networks. Alterations in brain...
A clear model - hence, a solid control - of the effects of microstimulation in neuronal networks is still lacking, hampering the great potential of this technique as a tool to probe the networks' structure and dynamics. Bridging computational modeling and an innovative experimental paradigm, we developed a model of the effects of single-site microstimulation in hippocampal cultures plated on...
