Interrogating the propagation of electrical stimulation across scales in vivo
Project Summary Intracranial electrical brain stimulation (EBS) remains a central method in the clinic as well as for research in several animal model systems. However, little is actually known about the ensembles of neurons activated by typical and clinical intracranial EBS protocols. These stimulation protocols often require a trial-and-error learning period (during and after invasive neurosurgery) to determine what stimulation parameters are effective, if any at all are effective. It remains mysterious why some stimulation patterns work in the clinic while others do not, and what underlying ensembles are activated by various stimulation patterns. It is known that focal electrical…
