Overview

Observational analysis reveals ECS effects on neural activity and electric fields in macaques, indicating its clinical promise.

Key Points

  • ECS significantly changes neural activity in macaques, with varying effects based on montage and intensity.
  • Electric field strength influenced neural responses, where focused stimulation led to entrainment and increased spike rates.
  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging showed a network response, indicating the broad impact of ECS on brain activity.
  • ECS serves as a viable alternative to invasive methods, promising clinical applications for patients unresponsive to transcranial approaches.
