This study models and investigates whether temporally interfering electric fields (TI EFs) could function as an effective non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) method for deep brain structure targeting in humans, relevant for psychiatric applications. Here, electric fields off- and on-target are modelled and compared with other common NIBS modalities (tACS, TMS). Additionally, local effects of the field strength are modelled on single-compartment neuronal models. While TI EFs are able to effectively reach deep brain targets, the ratio of off- to on-target stimulation remains high and comparable to other NIBS and may result in off-target neural blocks. Clinical Relevance- This study builds on earlier work and demonstrates some of the challenges -such as off-target conduction blocks- of applying TI EFs for targeting deep brain structures important in understanding the potential of treating neuropsychiatric conditions in the future.
本研究旨在探讨时变干扰电场(TI EF)是否可以作为一种有效的非侵入性脑刺激(NIBS)方法,用于人类的深部脑结构靶向,这与精神疾病的应用相关。在此,对离靶和靶区的电场进行建模,并与其他常见的 NIBS 模式(tACS、TMS)进行比较。此外,还对单室神经元模型的场强局部效应进行建模。虽然 TI EF 能够有效地到达深部脑目标,但离靶和靶区刺激的比例仍然很高,与其他 NIBS 相当,可能导致离靶神经阻滞。临床意义——本研究建立在早期工作的基础上,展示了应用 TI EF 靶向深部脑结构所面临的一些挑战,例如离靶传导阻滞,这对于理解未来治疗神经精神疾病的潜力具有重要意义。
