Improving Cognition for Brain and Mental Health: Network Effects of Non-invasive Neuromodulation

Improving Cognition for Brain and Mental Health: Network Effects of Non-invasive Neuromodulation Speaker: Professor Marcus Kaiser (University of Nottingham) This lecture is part of the CING x META-BRAIN Seminar Series, a joint online initiative organised by the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING) in collaboration with the META-BRAIN project. In this session, Professor Marcus Kaiser presents research on the temporal dynamics of transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation in humans. The study examines both biological effects, assessed through MRI resting-state functional connectivity, and behavioural outcomes following stimulation of the inferior frontal cortex or thalamus. The findings show that ultrasound neuromodulation effects are time-constrained and spatially distributed across functionally connected brain regions, with behavioural changes persisting for at least one hour after stimulation. The lecture also discusses changes in network metrics and ongoing work on closed-loop neuromodulation for depression and schizophrenia. The CING x META-BRAIN Seminar Series is dedicated to advances in computational neuroscience and neuromodulation and brings together leading international experts in the field.
