Intracranial Substrates of Meditation-Induced Neuromodulation in the Amygdala and Hippocampus

Study on the Neuroregulatory Effects of Meditation: A Case Study of Loving-Kindness Meditation Academic Background Meditation, as a mental training technique, has long been believed to regulate emotions and enhance mental health. Specifically, Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM), which focuses on cultivating positive emotions towards oneself and other...

Dopamine Receptors D1, D2, and D4 Modulate Electrical Synapses and Excitability in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus

The Regulatory Role of Dopamine Receptors in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus: A Study on Neuronal Excitability and Electrical Synapses Academic Background The Thalamic Reticular Nucleus (TRN) is a crucial inhibitory neuronal network in the brain, responsible for regulating the transmission of sensory information between the thalamus and the cortex. ...

Wavelet-Based Bracketing, Time–Frequency Beta Burst Detection: New Insights in Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s Disease Research Report: Beta Burst Behavior Analysis Using a Wavelet-Based Time-Frequency Detection Framework Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction, including tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Recent studies have linked motor impairments in PD to excessive sy...

Frequency-Dependent Reduction of Cybersickness in Virtual Reality by Transcranial Oscillatory Stimulation of the Vestibular Cortex

Use of Transcranial Oscillatory Stimulation to Reduce Cybersickness in Virtual Reality Background and Motivation Virtual Reality (VR) technology is increasingly integrated into fields such as work, healthcare, and entertainment. However, approximately 95% of VR users experience symptoms known as Cybersickness (CS), characterized by nausea, dizzines...

L-Type Calcium Channel Modulates Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound-Induced Excitation in Cultured Hippocampal Neurons

Regulation of L-type Calcium Channels in Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) Excitation of Cultured Hippocampal Neurons Background In recent years, ultrasound stimulation has been widely used as a non-invasive technique to regulate neuronal activity both in vivo and in vitro. However, the potential mechanism of neural modulation effects induced...
