Here, we asked whether application of
microstimulation targeted to the entorhinal afferents into hippocampus could enhance declarative memory function in humans.

Future studies investigating how neural signals change in response to
microstimulation (and how these changes vary with the precise
targeting of the stimulating electrode) will be critical for increasing our understanding, not only of the physiological signatures of
microstimulation, but also the microcircuit dynamics underlying memory.
As the use of neural implants moves toward treating cognitive disorders, one advantage of including
microstimulation is the precise spatial
targeting it affords, allowing for highly - controlled manipulation of neural circuits.
We therefore hypothesized that theta - burst
microstimulation,
targeted to brain regions containing afferent fibers to the hippocampus, would improve episodic memory performance in humans.
