Modulation of Conflict Processing by Theta-Range tACS over the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex by Albert Lehr, Niklas Henneberg, Tarana Nigam, Walter Paulus, Andrea Antal

“…In order to prove causality, in two experiments, we applied transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) at 6 Hz to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during Stroop task performance. Sham stimulation served as a control in both experiments; 9.7 Hz tACS served as a nonharmonic alpha band control in the second experiment. …”

Virtual Network Embedding: A Hybrid Vertex Mapping Solution for Dynamic Resource Allocation by Adil Razzaq, Markus Hidell, Peter Sjödin

“…This paper analyzes two existing vertex mapping approaches—one which only considers if enough node resources are available for the current VN mapping and one which considers to what degree a node already is utilized by existing VN embeddings before doing the vertex mapping. …”

Temporal–Spatial Acupuncture Effects on Poststroke Sensorimotor Cortex via Yanglingquan (GB34) by Ruoyi Liu, Yue Wang, Myadagbadam Boldbayar, Yuanyuan Li, Chen Chen, Xin Yu, Tianjiao Xu, Muzhao Zhang, Yihuai Zou, Hua Zhang

“…Hemiplegia is a common symptom after a stroke, and acupuncture at Yanglingquan (GB34) has been found to play a significant role in the treatment of poststroke hemiplegia. To explore motor cortex pathology and acupuncture’s immediate spatiotemporal effects on poststroke motor pathway impairment, 63 patients and 42 healthy subjects underwent three functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans: resting-state, passive finger movement, and acupuncture at Yanglingquan points. …”
