Article Abstract

Neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience studies have identified neural circuits linked to anxiety, mood, and trauma-related symptoms and focused on their interaction with the medial prefrontal default mode circuitry. Despite these advances, developing new neuromodulatory treatments based on neurocircuitry remains challenging. It remains unclear which nodes within and controlling these circuits are affected and how their impairment is connected to psychiatric symptoms. Concurrent single-pulse (sp) TMS/fMRI offers a promising approach to probing and mapping the integrity of these circuits. In this study, we present concurrent spTMS/fMRI data along with structural MRI scans from 152 participants, across 4 clinical groupings: Non-trauma Exposed Healthy Controls (NTHC; n = 46), Trauma Exposed Healthy Controls (TEHC; n = 29), Non-trauma Induced Symptomatic (NTS; n = 43), Trauma Induced Symptomatic (NIS; n = 34).The spTMS was administered to 11 different cortical sites, providing a dataset that allows researchers to investigate how brain circuits are modulated by spTMS.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with intracranial EEG (TMS-iEEG) has emerged as a powerful approach for probing the causal organization and dynamics of the human brain. Despite its promise, the presence of TMS-induced artifacts poses significant challenges for accurately characterizing and interpreting evoked neural responses. In this study, we present a practical preprocessing pipeline for single pulse TMS-iEEG data, incorporating key steps of re-referencing, filtering, artifact interpolation, and detrending.

We introduce a step-like retroreflector (SR) designed to enhance all-optical inverse Compton scattering (ICS) based on laser wakefield accelerators (LWFAs). Through extensive three-dimensional simulations and theoretical studies, we compare the performance of our SR with traditional reflectors and demonstrate its superior impact on scattering outcomes. Unlike a standard flat retroreflector, our advanced SR design not only refocuses the pulse in the lateral dimension but also significantly expands its longitudinal extent, leading to a marked increase in scattering efficiency and a concurrent improvement in radiation source quality.

We propose and demonstrate what we believe to be a new method for femtosecond laser multi-foci parallel plane-by-plane inscription of fiber Bragg grating. The method involves diffracting a femtosecond laser into multiple beams by superimposing multiple blazed grating phase masks with different parameters on the spatial light modulator. This method enables the production of multiple foci with controllable positions and single-pulse energies within the fiber core.

Exploring how local perturbations of cortical activity propagate across the brain network not only helps us understanding causal mechanisms of brain networks, but also offers a network insight into neurobiological mechanisms for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment response. The concurrent combination of TMS and electroencephalography (EEG) enables researchers to track the TMS-evoked activity, defined here as scalp-recorded electrical signals reflecting the brain's response to TMS, with millisecond-level temporal resolution. Based on this technique, we proposed a quantitative framework which combined sparse non-negative matrix factorization and stage-dependent effective connectivity methods to infer the causal pathways in TMS-evoked brain responses.

Hippocampal activity supports memory and many other brain functions. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) guided by hippocampal functional connectivity (FC) shows promise in improving memory, but direct neural evidence of its capacity to engage and modulate hippocampal activity is lacking. Here we combined TMS with intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) in 8 neurosurgical patients and with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 79 neurologically healthy participants.
