Great News! Brain Stimulation Journal’ s Impact Factor increased to 8.4! Science Citation Index ranking is now 18 of 314 titles in Neurosciences & 13 of 285 in Clinical Neurology. A big thank you to our authors, reviewers, readers & contributors! Here’s to advancing impactful science together!!

Burç Çağrı Poyraz and colleagues show that bilateral intermittent theta burst stimulation with a double-cone coil can be effective for depressive symptoms and to address anxiety with major depressive disorder (MDD) www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Lin Hou & Yuming Lei demonstrate that spinal corn ultrasound stimulation (SCUS) is a promising noninvasive technique for spinal neural circuits in humans. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Huiru Cui et al provide preliminary support for the effectiveness, safety, and generalizability of anxiosomatic circuit aiTBS for treatment-resistant anxiety alleviating symptoms and improving overall functioning. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Vridhi Rohira & colleagues propose combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based neuronavigation on a cerebellar spatially unbiased atlas template SUIT atlas to improve cerebellar TMS targeting. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

In a recent study Heikki Sinisalo & colleagues investigate whether the issue of rapid pulse delivery to different cortical targets can be overcome by multi-coil TMS combined with pulse-width modulation (PWM) in microsecond scale www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Stephanie Aghamoosa et al. shows that Accelerated iTBS for amnestic MCI linked to cognitive improvement AND changes in brain connectivity. Increased segregation in target networks (DMN, VAT) and local DMN connectivity correlate with better cognition. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Saeed Makkinayeri & team use Hidden Markov Models to define TMS-EEG brain states with distinct spectral, temporal and spatial features linked to fMRI networks. Interestingly, the sensorimotor network engagement boosts MEP amplitudes. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Jixin Liu et al evaluate analgesic effects during and after stimulation using tTIS on VPL and HD-tACS on SM1 showing α-tACS applied to the SM1 produced a significant pain-relieving effect during the post-stimulation phase. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Jodoin and team report first open-label study of a spaced tDCS protocol for MDD, demonstrating strong feasibility, safety, and preliminary therapeutic effects. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Case study by Li-Xia Yuan & team for personalized #TMS in #ASD! Connectivity-guided iTBS targeting DLPFC-NAc circuitry reduced repetitive behaviors by 72%, with effects lasting 3 months. Imaging revealed functional & structural changes in reward system www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...

Yunyi Han, Fang Jin and team publishes: Accelerated personalized iTBS targeting brain circuits (dlPFC-VTA) significantly reduces negative symptoms in schizophrenia vs. sham (Cohen’s d=0.83). Imaging changes linked to improvement. www.brainstimjrnl.com/article/S193...
