TMS Disruption of Time Encoding in Human Primary Visual Cortex
This report details my summer research project for the REU Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience program as part of Dr. Michael Beauchamp‟s lab. This summer, I studied time encoding in the primary visual cortex using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. TMS is a technique that perturbs brain activation by running a current through a coil and causing a large change in magnetic field, thus cre...
متن کاملSelective deficit of mental visual imagery with intact primary visual cortex and visual perception.
There is a vigorous debate as to whether visual perception and imagery share the same neuronal networks, whether the primary visual cortex is necessarily involved in visual imagery, and whether visual imagery functions are lateralized in the brain. Two patients with brain damage from closed head injury were submitted to tests of mental imagery in the visual, tactile, auditory, gustatory, olfact...
متن کاملTranscranial focused ultrasound stimulation of human primary visual cortex
Transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) is making progress as a new non-invasive mode of regional brain stimulation. Current evidence of FUS-mediated neurostimulation for humans has been limited to the observation of subjective sensory manifestations and electrophysiological responses, thus warranting the identification of stimulated brain regions. Here, we report FUS sonication of the primary vi...
متن کاملMembrane Potential Synchrony in Primary Visual Cortex during Sensory Stimulation
When the primary visual cortex (V1) is activated by sensory stimulation, what is the temporal correlation between the synaptic inputs to nearby neurons? This question underlies the origin of correlated activity, the mechanism of how visually evoked activity emerges and propagates in cortical circuits, and the relationship between spontaneous and evoked activity. Here, we have recorded membrane ...
متن کاملTransient suppression of primary visual cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation
Recent advances of transcranial magnetic stimulation can provide new methods to elucidate the mechanism of higher brain function or cortical plasticity. For example, transcranial magnetic stimulation can produce transient disruption of the visual perception or modulation of cortical functions. Probably, the induced eddy current in the brain disturbs the information processing from external sign...
