NANS: November Neuromodulation Journal Club

November Article: "Quantitative Estimation of Nerve Fiber Engagement by Vagus Nerve Stimulation Using Physiological Markers" Cervical Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an emerging bioelectric treatment for brain, metabolic, cardiovascular and immune disorders. Its desired and off-target effects are mediated by different nerve fiber populations and knowledge of their engagement could guide calibration and monitoring of VNS therapies.

Neural Prosthesis Seminar

TMS for the study of Reaching and Connectivity in Healthy, Damaged, and Rehabilitated Brains Understanding the link between brain structure and behavior has long been a goal of neuroscience and is a driving force behind the BRAIN Initiative. Because brain structures are damaged by disease and injury, and lead to changes in behavior, that understanding has the promise for pointing the way to effective treatments for behavioral deficits. Our long-term goal is better treatments for motor deficits after stroke, that would include both experience and neuromodulation. But until we understand how different regions of the brain connected to support normal function, it is hard to know how and when neuromodulation should be applied. We have undertaken a series of studies that examined how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used in the context of robotic rehabilitation to affect practice-related plasticity, work out role and timing of brain regions in control of movement. These studies have demonstrated, in part, the importance of premotor regions in the ongoing control of reaching movements – not only in their planning – and their increasing importance after stroke. This work has also led to a new direction, that of aggregating TMS-derived knowledge of brain circuitry into a specialized database that will allow exploration of brain circuitry with an emphasis on timing.

Amsterdam Clinical TMS Certification Course

Number of participants 30 maximum Dates 29 November – 1 December 2021 When registering, make sure you select the dates with the (Amsterdam, NL) addition. Location Hotel Casa, Amsterdam The Netherlands ​Target group Clinicians, Health Care Professionals, and Researchers Registration fee € 1500,- Further information info@tmscourse.eu Researchers, Clinicians, and Academics from Maastricht University provide the renowned International TMS Certification Course to be held in Amsterdam, NL with a focus on the clinical applications of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This Intensive 3 FULL-DAY Course is industry-independent, taught in English, in an academic environment, by internationally renowned experts in the field of noninvasive brain stimulation. Training is available on various TMS systems, including additional equipment for TMS Neuronavigation, and the combination of TMS with fMRI, EEG, and EMG. The course is characterised by a strong focus on intensive practical hands-on training. Basic and advanced training options will be available to offer both, basic training for beginners but also advanced training for more experienced participants. After learning how to apply TMS theoretically, participants enjoy workshops in our actual TMS labs. Here they are instructed in the everyday operation of the machinery, and both administer and experience different stimulation protocols. They determine individual thresholds of excitability, and learn how to programme TMS machines. This provides them with all the tools to administer TMS in both research and clinical therapy. Instruction also includes extensive lessons and discussion on safety procedures and regulations. ​The course also includes a module on transcranial electric brain stimulation (TCS), covering principles and application examples of direct current (TDCS), alternating current (TACS), and random noise (TRNS) stimulation protocols.

Neuromodulation: The Science

Overview The Forum Advancing Neuromodulation Neuromodulation: The Science exists to advance research, dissemination of knowledge, and implementation of new findings within neuromodulation. Conference founder, Elliot Krames, MD established the journal Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface in 1998 as the preeminent journal to advance basic science research in the field of neuromodulation. Neuromodulation: The Science (NTS) is the next step. Through partnerships with Neuromodec, the program integrates brain stimulation, imaging, AR/VR wearables, and digital healthcare to provide attendees with relevant and up-to-date insights on emerging science and technologies from bench-top to bedside and home use. The Kaua’i Pain Conference connects the best and brightest minds in the fields of pain management and neuroscience with learners and public policy officials follows NTS March 4-5. Attendees are welcome to join both events and will receive complimentary access to workshops on March 3. Faculty Jeffrey L.
