Can electricity change how human brain cells work together?

A new study co-led by Genevieve Konopka at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA used living brain tissue obtained during neurosurgery and found that stimulation strengthened coordinated activity among groups of neurons. 

The findings offer a closer look at how brain stimulation reshapes human neural circuits and may help researchers better understand stimulation-based therapies.
