A few years back we started a collaboration to try to work out the mechanisms engaged by DBS for depression. Published today we found that it changes functional networks (expected) but also remodels specific white matter tracts (unexpected). Read more here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I always realized one key advantage of tDCS is that the technology can be made really cheap. But didnt realize it could even be disposable systems. Fascinating exploration by Marom Bikson.

An eternally long delay to drug reward In this work, we trained rats to report, so to speak, a subjective estimate of the delay of i.v. cocaine reward Their verdict: few tens of seconds, an eternity for rats which explains why cocaine is so low on their value ladder www.nature.com/articles/s41...
