Emerging Mechanisms of Neuromodulation: From Cellular to Network Substrates Featured
This session will focus on the current state-of-art about the mechanisms of action underlying neuromodulation in providing therapeutic efficacy. Speakers will present current knowledge on various modalities of neuromodulation involving electrical deep brain stimulation to non-invasive ultrasound and their ability and scope to alter expression and/or activity of substrates spanning molecules, cells to neural circuits. The information will help to provide a more comprehensive perspective about affected substrates from neuromodulation. Knowledge arising from this synopsis can be leveraged to optimize, personalize and/or further innovate neuromodulation efficacy.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, participants should be able to:
- Explain how neuromodulation affects gene and protein expression.
- Describe how different cell types are affected by neuromodulation.
- Indicate the difference in mechanism of action between electricity and ultrasound modulation.
- Identify the effects of neuromodulation on whole brain activity.
