Article Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) via implanted electrodes is used worldwide to treat patients with severe neurological and psychiatric disorders. However, its invasiveness precludes widespread clinical use and deployment in research. Temporal interference (TI) is a strategy for non-invasive steerable DBS using multiple kHz-range electric fields with a difference frequency within the range of neural activity. Here we report the validation of the non-invasive DBS concept in humans. We used electric field modeling and measurements in a human cadaver to verify that the locus of the transcranial TI stimulation can be steerably focused in the hippocampus with minimal exposure to the overlying cortex. We then used functional magnetic resonance imaging and behavioral experiments to show that TI stimulation can focally modulate hippocampal activity and enhance the accuracy of episodic memories in healthy humans. Our results demonstrate targeted, non-invasive electrical stimulation of deep structures in the human brain.

Unlabelled: Whilst the impacts of individual invasive species are relatively well studied, the combined effects of both plant and animal invasive species on multispecies assemblages are poorly understood. We studied the impact of two invasive species-the mesquite tree, and free-ranging dog, on a guild of native mesocarnivores in the human-dominated grasslands of the Thar desert. We found that the mesquite had varying effects on the mesocarnivore guild, benefiting generalist species such as the golden jackal and jungle cat , while negatively affecting open habitat specialist species such as Indian desert fox , Indian fox , and desert cat .

Across various types of learning and memory, when a new training session follows a previous one after a certain temporal interval, the previously acquired learning can be disrupted-an effect known as retrograde interference (RI) or catastrophic forgetting. This disruption is thought to result from disrupting interactions between the learning of the first-trained task and the learning of the second-trained task while the former has not yet stabilized. Such destructive interactions have been considered characteristic not only of RI but also of related phenomena.

Background: Frontal patient state index (PSI) monitoring is impractical during frontal lobe tumor resection due to surgical field interference. No validated alternative monitoring positions exist currently. This study evaluated the agreement between standard frontal and experimental occipital PSI monitoring.

Retinal degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa cause severe vision impairment, while current electrical stimulation therapies are limited by poor spatial targeting precision. As a promising non-invasive alternative, the efficacy of temporal interference stimulation (TIS) for retinal targeting depends on optimized multi-electrode parameters. This study reconstructed a whole-head finite element model with detailed ocular structures and applied reinforcement learning (RL)-based multi-channel electrode parameter optimization to retinal stimulation.

Fluorescence imaging has become an indispensable tool in modern biology, enabling the visualisation of dynamic molecular processes with spatial and temporal precision. Traditional strategies rely heavily on the conjugation of large, extrinsic fluorophores, such as green fluorscent protein or organic dyes, through linkers to proteins or peptides of interest. While sometimes effective, these bulky labels can interfere with native protein structure, function, and interactions, limiting their utility in studying sensitive or compact biological systems.
