Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling (2025)
Journal Article
Trajkovic, J., Veniero, D., Hanslmayr, S., Palva, S., Cruz, G., Romei, V., & Thut, G. (2025). Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling. PLoS Biology, 23(4), Article e3002688. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002688

Adaptive visual processing is enabled through the dynamic interplay between top-down and bottom-up (feedback/feedforward) information exchange, presumably propagated through brain oscillations. Here, we causally tested for the oscillatory mechanisms... Read More about Top-down and bottom-up interactions rely on nested brain oscillations to shape rhythmic visual attention sampling.

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), delivered to left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, is an FDA-approved, and NICE-recommended, neuromodulation therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, there is considerable inter-individ...

Objective
Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation (ccPAS) is a form of dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) entailing a series of single-TMS pulses paired at specific interstimulus intervals (ISI) delivered to distant cortical a...

Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events (2023)
Journal Article
Turner, C., Baylan, S., Bracco, M., Cruz, G., Hanzal, S., Keime, M., Kuye, I., McNeill, D., Ng, Z., van der Plas, M., Ruzzoli, M., Thut, G., Trajkovic, J., Veniero, D., Wale, S. P., Whear, S., & Learmonth, G. (2023). Developmental changes in individual alpha frequency: Recording EEG data during public engagement events. Imaging Neuroscience, 1, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1162/imag_a_00001

Statistical power in cognitive neuroimaging experiments is often very low. Low sample size can reduce the likelihood of detecting real effects (false negatives) and increase the risk of detecting non-existing effects by chance (false positives). Here...

Distinct frequencies balance segregation with interaction between different memory types within a prefrontal circuit (2023)
Journal Article
Bracco, M., Mutanen, T. P., Veniero, D., Thut, G., & Robertson, E. M. (2023). Distinct frequencies balance segregation with interaction between different memory types within a prefrontal circuit. Current Biology, 33(12), 2548-2556.e6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2023.05.027

Once formed, the fate of memory is uncertain. Subsequent offline interactions between even different memory types (actions versus words) modify retention. These interactions may occur due to different oscillations functionally linking together diffe...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) evokes neuronal activity in the targeted cortex and connected brain regions. The evoked brain response can be measured with electroencephalography (EEG). TMS combined with simultaneous EEG (TMS−EEG) is widely u... Read More about TMS combined with EEG: Recommendations and open issues for data collection and analysis.

Challenging inhibitory control with high- and low-calorie food: A behavioural and TMS study (2023)
Journal Article
Bianco, V., Veniero, D., D’Acunto, A., Koch, G., & Picazio, S. (2023). Challenging inhibitory control with high- and low-calorie food: A behavioural and TMS study. Frontiers in Nutrition, 10, Article 1016017. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2023.1016017

Most people are often tempted by their impulses to “indulge” in high-calorie food, even if this behaviour is not consistent with their goal to control weight in the long term and might not be healthy. The outcome of this conflict is strongly dependen... Read More about Challenging inhibitory control with high- and low-calorie food: A behavioural and TMS study.

Top-down control of visual cortex by the frontal eye fields through oscillatory realignment (2021)
Journal Article

Voluntary allocation of visual attention is controlled by top-down signals generated within the Frontal Eye Fields (FEFs) that can change the excitability of lower-level visual areas. However, the mechanism through which this control is achieved rema... Read More about Top-down control of visual cortex by the frontal eye fields through oscillatory realignment.
