OVERVIEW:
Neuromodulation has evolved into a powerful tool for investigating intricate neuronal circuits and treating brain disorders. These techniques, rooted in physics principles, can be broadly categorized into three main groups:
1. Electromagnetic stimulation, (transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), and deep brain stimulation (DBS)).
2. Ultrasonic stimulation (focused ultrasound (FUS).
3. Optical stimulation (optogenetics).
MRI is assuming an increasingly pivotal role in (i) understanding the underlying mechanisms of these neuromodulation techniques, and (ii) interpreting the variable clinical responses among patients. MRI can now be integrated with these neuromodulation methods to observe the immediate, short-term, and long-term brain responses to neuromodulation interventions.
Our Member-Initiated Tutorial will place particular emphasis on TMS and FUS, exploring three key areas:
1. Basics of TMS and FUS.
2. What can MRI bring to TMS/FUS and vice versa.
3. Applications of combined TMS/FUS and MRI in Neuroscience and Clinical Practice.
This proposed session is dedicated to educating the ISMRM community about MRI of neuromodulation. We have gathered a diverse panel of seven speakers representing different backgrounds, career stages, and gender perspectives to serve as faculty in this session.
TARGET AUDIENCE:
AS A RESULT OF ATTENDING THIS COURSE, PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO:
- Define TMS and explain how is it applied to the brain and most relevant applications in neurology, psychiatry and neuroscience;
- Explain how the combination of MRI techniques and TMS can help us to understand the physiology and pathology of the brain;
- Describe the basic mechanisms of focused ultrasound (FUS) when used as a neuromodulation technique and explain how is it applied to the brain and most relevant applications in neurology, psychiatry and neuroscience; and
- Explain how the combination of MRI techniques and FUS can help us to understand the physiology and pathology of the brain.
