BLINK- AND SACCADE-RELATED SUPPRESSION EFFECTS IN EARLY VISUAL AREAS OF THE HUMAN BRAIN: INTRACRANIAL EEG INVESTIGATIONS DURING NATURAL VIEWING CONDITIONS

Blink- and saccade-related suppression effects in early visual areas of the human brain: Intracranial EEG investigations during natural viewing conditions

Blinks and saccades, both ubiquitous in natural viewing conditions, cause rapid changes of visual inputs that are hardly consciously perceived.The neural dynamics in early visual areas of the human brain underlying this remarkable visual stability are still incompletely understood.We used electrocorticography (ECoG) from electrodes directly implant

Axon morphology and intrinsic cellular properties determine repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation threshold for plasticity

IntroductionRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a widely used therapeutic tool in neurology and psychiatry, but its cellular and molecular mechanisms are not fully understood.Standardizing stimulus parameters, specifically electric field strength, is crucial in experimental and clinical settings.It enables meaningful comparisons
