Neocortical neuron
Dr. Lundstrom and his colleagues investigate the computational properties of neurons and how electrical stimulation affects them.
Overview
The Brain Adaptation and Stimulation Lab of Brian N. Lundstrom, M.D., Ph.D., is a multidisciplinary laboratory that aims to better understand human neurophysiology and improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. Methods include invasive and noninvasive forms of brain stimulation, multiscale invasive electroencephalography, high-density electroencephalography, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and computational modeling. We have a special interest in neural adaptation, that is how brain activity changes over time to ongoing stimulation. An overall goal is to develop improved methods of assessing brain excitability and function.
Current projects include:
- Developing EEG/MEG biomarkers to guide epilepsy therapy.
- Evaluating brain stimulation approaches for epilepsy treatment.
- Understanding how neural adaptation affects brain function.
