Journal Article
Houlgreave, M. S., Dyke, K., Berrington, A., & Jackson, S. R. (2025). Investigating Neurometabolite Changes in Response to Median Nerve Stimulation. Brain and Behavior, 15(1), Article e70250. https://doi.org/10.1002/brb3.70250

Background: Rhythmic median nerve stimulation (MNS) at 10Hz has been shown to cause a substantial reduction in tic frequency in individuals with Tourette syndrome. The mechanism of action is currently unknown but is hypothesized to involve entrainmen... Read More about Investigating Neurometabolite Changes in Response to Median Nerve Stimulation.

The oscillatory effects of rhythmic median nerve stimulation (2022)
Journal Article
Houlgreave, M. S., Morera Maiquez, B., Brookes, M. J., & Jackson, S. R. (2022). The oscillatory effects of rhythmic median nerve stimulation. NeuroImage, 251, Article 118990. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.118990

Entrainment of brain oscillations can be achieved using rhythmic non-invasive brain stimulation, and stimulation of the motor cortex at a frequency associated with sensorimotor inhibition can impair motor responses. Despite the potential for therapeu... Read More about The oscillatory effects of rhythmic median nerve stimulation.

Vertex Stimulation as a Control Site for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Concurrent TMS/fMRI Study (2015)
Journal Article

Background
A common control condition for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies is to apply stimulation at the vertex. An assumption of vertex stimulation is that it has relatively little influence over on-going brain processes involved in...
