Sentences with phrase «for noninvasive brain stimulation»

Oberman then obtained a mentored postdoctoral fellowship at the Berenson - Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Harvard Medical School where she developed paradigms using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to study brain plasticity and excitability in individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

«These results suggest that brain networks might be used to help us better understand why brain stimulation works and to improve therapy by identifying the best place to stimulate the brain for each individual patient and given disease,» says senior author Alvaro Pascual - Leone, MD, PhD, the Director of the Berenson - Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at BIDMC and Professor of Neurology at HMS.

«Although different types of brain stimulation are currently applied in different locations, we found that the targets used to treat the same disease are nodes in the same connected brain network,» says first author Michael D. Fox, MD, PhD, an investigator in the Berenson - Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation and in the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at BIDMC.
