Theta-burst microstimulation in the human entorhinal area improves memory specificity

Theta-burst microstimulation in the human entorhinal area improves memory specificity

The hippocampus is critical for episodic memory, and synaptic changes induced by long-term potentiation (LTP) are thought to underlie memory formation. In rodents, hippocampal LTP may be induced through electrical stimulation of the perforant path. To test whether similar techniques could improve ep...
