Cochlear Nerve Responsiveness to Electrical Stimulation in Late-Implanted Prelingually Deafened Adults.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate cochlear nerve responsiveness to electrical stimulation in prelingually deafened adults with late cochlear implantation by analyzing electrically evoked compound action potentials (eCAPs), and to compare their neural status with that of postlingually deafened adults. DESIGN: Participants were divided into two groups: prelingually deafened adults (Prelingual) group (n = 15) and postlingually deafened adults (Postlingual) group (n = 11). All participants used Cochlear Nucleus cochlear implants. The input/output function of the eCAP under inter-phase gap (IPG) conditions

Enhancement of Cerebral Oxygenation by Lower-Limb Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in Stroke Survivors.

PURPOSE: Stroke remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability with few non-pharmacological interventions available to enhance cerebral perfusion during recovery. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the common peroneal nerve (CPN) may augment venous return and cardiac output via activation of the skeletal muscle pump and autonomic reflexes thereby supporting cerebral blood flow. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of low-frequency (1 Hz) CPN-NMES on cortical oxygenation in ischaemic stroke survivors and to mechanistically interpret these effects using cardiovascular

Epicranial electrical stimulation improves non-navigational spatial memory in macaque monkeys.

BACKGROUND: The hippocampus and medial temporal lobe are crucial for spatial memory, and their dysfunction is linked to Alzheimer's disease (AD), with changes detectable even in preclinical stages. Recently, neuromodulation has gained interest as a potential treatment due to its beneficial effects on AD pathology and cognitive performance. However, outcomes vary significantly based on stimulation parameters and study conditions, and evidence from large animal models remains limited. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether epicranial current stimulation (ECS) at 40 Hz can improve non-navigational spatial

Direct electrical stimulation of the human amygdala enhances recognition memory for objects but not scenes.

Research from studies using invasive neuroanatomy-inspired direct manipulations suggests the basolateral amygdala (BLA) mediates a generalized modulation of many different types of memory. In contrast, noninvasive indirect correlations suggest that specificity exists in how the BLA prioritizes experiences in memory. We used direct electrical stimulation of the BLA to investigate the specificity of the memory enhancement in the human brain. Patients undergoing intracranial monitoring via depth electrodes viewed object and scene images, half of which were followed by BLA stimulation. Stimulation

Electrical Pudendal Nerve Stimulation as an Initial Neuromodulation Strategy for Neurogenic Urinary Retention.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic neurogenic urinary retention often requires assisted emptying and remains challenging to treat. We evaluated whether electrical pudendal nerve stimulation (EPNS) improves bladder emptying and compared short-term outcomes with a standard sacral neuromodulation (SNM) test stimulation strategy. METHODS: In this prospective, multicenter, assessor-masked study, 70 adults with chronic refractory neurogenic nonobstructive urinary retention received either EPNS (12 sessions over 4 wk) or a standard 4-wk continuous SNM test phase using a percutaneously placed S3 lead.

Electrical Vestibular Co-stimulation by Lateral Wall Cochlear Implant Electrode Arrays.

HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to analyze cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials to electrical stimulation (e-cVEMPs and e-oVEMPs) by straight lateral wall cochlear implant electrodes with respect to response numbers, amplitudes, latencies, and thresholds. METHODS: E-VEMPs were recorded in adult Synchrony cochlear implant (CI) patients stimulating with electric pulse trains. The stimulation electrode was successively varied between apical stimulation at electrode E3, medial stimulation at E6, and basal stimulation at E10 and E11. VEMPs to bone co

The potential benefits of periorbital transcutaneous electrical stimulation for the management of dry eye disease.

Dry eye disease (DED) is among the most frequent pathologies of the ocular surface (OS). As a multifactorial condition, it is appropriate to manage it with strategies that are customized according to patient signs and symptoms. Recently, several studieshave suggestedthat transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TCES) of the periorbital areainduces various benefits for DED patients, including more efficient eye blinking. This application is particularly novel, as few treatments directly address the effect of inefficient blinking on OS health. In this article, this and other potential benefits of

Optimal control-driven functional electrical stimulation: A PRISMA-ScR scoping review.

INTRODUCTION: Rehabilitation after a neurological impairment can be supported by functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, FES is limited by early muscle fatigue, slowing down the recovery progress. The use of optimal control to reduce overstimulation and improve motion precision is gaining interest. This scoping review maps the current literature on optimal control for FES, clarifies best practices, persistent challenges, and outlines future research directions. METHODS: Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a search was conducted up to September 2025 using the combined keywords "FES"

Polyimide-Based Flexible Microelectrode Array for Non-Invasive Transcorneal Electrical Stimulation.

Transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) is a promising treatment for several retinal degenerative diseases (RDDs). TES involves the application of a controlled electrical current to the anterior surface of the cornea, aimed at activating the retina and posterior ocular structures. Dawson-Trick-Litzkow (DTL) and ERG-JET electrodes are among the most widely used for TES. However, their continuous metallic surface design limits spatial resolution and the ability to perform selective ES. In this work, we present the development of a transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) electrode that, unlik

Design and optimization of a high-definition transcranial electrical stimulation device with envelope wave.

OBJECTIVES: Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) has been widely used in neuroscience research, and the spatial focusing and penetration of the process are currently the main constraints on the effectiveness of treatment. METHODS: A high-definition electrical stimulation (HD-tES) device with envelope waves was designed. The device utilized a 4 × 1 electrode structure and was designed with an impedance adjustment circuit to evenly distribute the current among the four return channels. The output performance and safety of the device were verified in in vitro experiments. The spatial focusi

Improving Peripheral Reading With Noninvasive Transcranial Electrical Stimulation of Early Visual Areas.

PURPOSE: Noninvasive transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) of the primary visual cortex can reduce crowding in peripheral vision. We investigated the effect of two tES protocols, visual cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS), on reading using peripheral vision, a task that is limited by visual crowding. METHODS: A double-blind, placebo-controlled experimental design was used. Forty-one heathy adults with normal visual acuity completed one active and one sham tES session. During each session, English sentences were presented o
