UCLA study on live human brain tissue shows stimulation strengthens neuron coordination
anne_churchland · x · 2026-08-27
A UCLA study co-led by Genevieve Konopka used living human brain tissue obtained during neurosurgery and found that electrical stimulation strengthened coordinated activity among groups of neurons. The work offers a direct window into how brain stimulation reshapes human neural circuits, with implications for stimulation-based therapies.
