Seeking to combine DBS's deep - brain targeting with TMS's noninvasiveness, Boyden's MIT team, led by bioengineer Nir Grossman, took advantage of a well - known property of neurons: They respond only to low - frequency electrical signals.
So they turned to living, anesthetized mice, attached electrodes to their scalps, and directed 2000 and 2010 hertz signals so that they produced a low - frequency, 10 hertz stimulation at the hippocampus, a deep - brain structure involved in learning and memory.
1987 In the first reported therapeutic use of high - frequency deep - brain stimulation (DBS), French doctors implanted electrodes in a patient's brain to send impulses to a region associated with Parkinson's disease.
They strengthened the slow oscillations of neurons during so - called non-rapid-eye-movement rest, applying 0.517 milliampere at the 0.75 hertz frequency, which most closely mimics the brain's signal during such deep sleep.
* Deep brain stimulation can reduce seizure frequency and improve quality of life for patients with drug - resistant epilepsy.
Resting - state functional magnetic resonance imaging allows investigating whole - brain connectivity changes during pharmacological modulation of the level of consciousness.Low - frequency spontaneous blood oxygen level - dependent fluctuations were measured in 19 healthy volunteers during wakefulness, mild sedation, deep sedation with clinical unconsciousness, and subsequent recovery of consciousness.Propofol - induced decrease in consciousness linearly correlates with decreased corticocortical and thalamocortical connectivity in frontoparietal networks (i.e., default - and executive - control networks).
Each track uses a unique recipe of researched frequencies to move the brain into states ranging from intense focus to deep meditation.
