New preprint out!

TMS is often used to map the motor-cortex representation of the hand muscles. But does the type of stimulation matter?

Mads J Madsen, Lasse Christiansen, Hartwig Siebner and team from @DRCMR used high-resolution TMS-MRI mapping to compare the cortical motor maps produced by single-pulse (SP-TMS) or paired-pulse TMS (PP-TMS).

https://doi.org/10.1101/2024.10.03.616450

PP-TMS probed short-interval intracortical inhibiton (in short SICF) and inter-stimulus intervals were adjusted to match the individual first or second “SICF” peak. SP-TMS and PP-TMS produced spatially distinct yet overlapping spatial corticomotor maps, revealing that they target similar but distinct brain areas.

PP-TMS mapping resulted in a posterior shift of the motor map compared to SP-TMS, producing the strongest shift with PP-TMS at the first SICF peak. Interestingly, the longer the delay between TMS pulses for the first peak, the more the motor map moved posteriorly . This wasn’t true for the second peak.

Together, these findings offer new insights into the functional corticomotor representations within the motor hand region of the human cortex.

In other news, Hans Stærkind from DRCMR has developed a completely new method to measure magnetic-field variations in the MR-scanner.

The new optical magnetic-field sensor, which is being developed at DRCMR in collaboration with the Niels Bohr Institute, has attracted broad attention following the latest publication, which describes the technology and the applications in MRI.

Hans Stærkind and his colleagues show that the sensor can measure the magnetic field in our 7 T MRI scanner very accurately and detect small field imperfections. The sensor contains no metallic parts, and therefore does not disturb the MRI scanner in any way. Current and future work aim at using such measurements to improve the MR image quality.

https://candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationInit.aspx?cid=342&ProjectId=255637&DepartmentId=18051&MediaId=5710

Postdoctoral researcher in Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation

The ‘Control of Movement’ group @ DRCMR (lassec@drcmr.dk) is seeking candidates for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship within the area of Precision Brain Stimulation. We are looking for an ambitious postdoctoral researcher to conduct research at the intersection of brain stimulation and neuroimaging. Join a young and energetic team, as we expand our efforts within state-of-the-art brain stimulation.

You will head our efforts to steer transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TFUS) to deep brain targets otherwise inaccessible to non-invasive brain stimulation. You will be part of a transdisciplinary group working at the forefront of non-invasive brain stimulation. We strive to bring non-invasive brain stimulation research to the highest level of precision and efficacy by combining TFUS with computational targeting and dosing along with concurrent (EEG) and subsequent (fMRI) neuroimaging.

Summary of the project: In this collaborative and translational project, we will use acoustic modelling to determine position and intensity of stimulation, and employ EEG and fMRI to investigate neural effects of stimulating deep cerebellar nuclei. TFUS is a novel and emergent brain stimulation modality, and there is still much to learn. In contrast to other non-invasive brain stimulation modalities, TFUS can penetrate deep into the brain with high precision, which allows us to manipulate deep brain targets directly for the first time. By combining TFUS with neuroimaging we can, for the first time, address questions related to how the cerebellar output influence movement initiation and control in humans.

Your role: You will plan, execute, and analyze results from experiments combining TFUS with EEG and fMRI.
You will design and conduct TFUS experiments using event-related EEG to evaluate immediate effects and fMRI at 3T to evaluate after-effects.
You will write the data up for publication and dissemination.

Essential skills & experience:

• Practical research experience with EEG and/or fMRI
• Proficiency in signal processing and analysis of EEG and/or fMRI

• Coding skills in Python and/or Matlab

• PhD in biomedical/electrical engineering, clinical medicine, neuroscience, or related field

• Prior refereed journal publications

• Strong written and interpersonal communication skills

Advantageous skills & experience:

• Experience in applying transcranial brain stimulation and in conducting human neurophysiological experiments with an understanding of the strengths and limitations of various study designs

• Experience in combining transcranial brain stimulation with brain mapping for dose-response characterization
