What did studies of targeted neuromodulation find?

Studies of targeted neuromodulation measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are visual acuity and contrast sensitivity (1 study) and structural and functional graft integration (1).

Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity

upin mice1

1 study

Targeted neuromodulation improves visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in mice (cortical injury with human brain organoid grafts).
“Behaviorally, host visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were significantly restored.”

1 study

Targeted neuromodulation improves structural and functional graft integration in mice (cortical injury with human brain organoid grafts).
“targeted neuromodulation, steered by endogenous narrowband gamma (NBG) rhythms, instructed structural and functional integration of hBO grafts in the injured adult mouse visual cortex.”
