Lessons from multitarget neurostimulation in isolated dystonia: Less is more?
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established therapeutic for disabling dystonia [1,2]. The internal globus pallidus (GPi-DBS) and subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS) are the most frequently used targets to improve dystonia [3]. In selected patients with dystonia, thalamic stimulation targeted the ventral intermediate nucleus (dystonia plus tremor [4] and myoclonus-dystonia [5]), the ventralis oralis anterior and the posterior nuclei (post-traumatic dystonia with damaged GPi) [6]. The centromedian-parafascicular complex (Cm-Pf) has attracted less attention. (Source: BRAIN STIMULATION: Basic, Translational, and Clinical Research in Neuromodulation)

Deep brain stimulation with short versus conventional pulse width in Parkinson's disease and essential tremor: A systematic review and meta-analysis
To maximize clinical benefit and minimize stimulation-induced side effects, optimising deep brain stimulation (DBS) parameters is paramount. Recent literature suggests a potential benefit of short pulse width DBS (spDBS; ≤40 μs) over conventional pulse width DBS (cDBS; ≥60 μs) in movement disorders.

Medial forebrain bundle stimulation after failed subcallosal cingulate deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression: Efficacy of a dual deep brain stimulation system for depression
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) occurs in up to one-third of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) [1]. Several DBS targets have been identified, including the subcallosal cingulate cortex (SCC), nucleus accumbens, anterior limb of internal capsule, lateral habenula, red nucleus of the stria terminalis and medial forebrain bundle (MFB) [2]. MFB is an emerging target showing efficacy for stimulation in TRD6-8 and might be the best target for anhedonic depression [3].

Conversion of a medical implant into a versatile computer-brain interface
Information transmission into the human nervous system is the basis for a variety of prosthetic applications. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems are widely available, have a well documented safety record, can be implanted minimally invasively, and are known to stimulate afferent pathways. Nonetheless, SCS devices are not yet used for computer-brain- interfacing applications. (Source: BRAIN STIMULATION: Basic, Translational, and Clinical Research in Neuromodulation)

Pulse-width modulated temporal interference (PWM-TI) brain stimulation
Electrical stimulation involving temporal interference of two different kHz frequency sinusoidal electric fields (temporal interference (TI)) enables non-invasive deep brain stimulation by creating an electric field that is amplitude modulated at the slow difference frequency within the neural range at the target brain region.

Hearing safety of accelerated TMS: Calculating daily noise dose of the SAINT protocol for depression
The FDA recently approved the SAINT protocol, an accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) protocol, for depression. 10 intermittent theta burst (iTBS) TMS sessions are administered per day to condense the 90,000 pulse treatment into 5 days [1]. Each TMS pulse generates a loud impulse noise caused by rapid expansion of the coil. (Source: BRAIN STIMULATION: Basic, Translational, and Clinical Research in Neuromodulation)

Altered In vivo early neurogenesis traits in patients with depression: Evidence from neuron-derived extracellular vesicles and electroconvulsive therapy
The neurogenesis hypothesis is a promising candidate etiologic hypothesis for depression, and it is associated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). However, human in vivo molecular-level evidence is lacking. (Source: BRAIN STIMULATION: Basic, Translational, and Clinical Research in Neuromodulation)
