Basic Rules Identified for Therapeutic Intracranial Stimulation of the Human Brain
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers have found evidence it may be possible to establish how brain stimulation should be given—where and with what amplitude, duration and frequency—to produce specific therapeutic results for individual patients with a wide variety of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Adaptation of Neuropixels Probe Permits High-Resolution Neural Recording in Humans
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers modified a high-resolution neural recording system and developed innovative techniques for applying it to human research. Their advances lay the foundation for better understanding of neurologic diseases, brain cancer and how to enhance neurorestorative technologies.

Direct Electrical Stimulation Networks Reflects Structural and Functional Connectivity in the Human Brain
Neurologists at Massachusetts General Hospital have demonstrated that measuring different types of connectivity in the brain can have entirely different implications for the interpretation of brain function as well as for understanding connectivity relative to clinical diagnoses.

Microscale Cortical Activity Recorded for the First Time
Using novel ultra-high-density microelectrodes, Angelique C. Paulk, PhD, and Sydney S. Cash, MD, PhD, Department of Neurology, and colleagues have recorded for the first time a set of neural events on the surface of the human cortex that are intermediate between single-neuron activity and slower oscillatory events.
