Stimulating at the right time to recover network states in a model of the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic circuit.
Neurological diseases can change activity across the brain and lead to symptoms like poor movement. This computer modelling work shows that returning the brain back to a “healthy” state can be achieved by directly changing brain connections or by altering brain activity with well-timed stimulation. This suggests that brain stimulation is useful for flexibly, quickly and precisely re-tuning brain networks in disease.
