    Summary

    Modeling transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in rodents is challenging due to spatial resolution limits. Electric stimulation in mice offers a more accurate way to approximate human TMS electric field focality and strength for preclinical research.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Preclinical Research

    Background:

    • Rodent models are crucial for preclinical studies of therapies like transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
    • Accurate scaling of the induced electric field in rodents is a significant challenge for comparing TMS effects between species.
    • Technical limitations in creating small, high-current coils restrict the focality of TMS in rodent models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate electric field distributions from various electrode configurations in a high-resolution mouse model.
    • To determine if electric stimulation in mice can accurately approximate human TMS electric field characteristics.
    • To propose an improved method for modeling focal TMS in mice for preclinical research.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an inhomogeneous, high-resolution finite element mouse model.
    • Examined electric field distributions generated by different electrode configurations for electric stimulation.
    • Compared simulated electric field patterns to known human TMS parameters.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated that electric stimulation configurations in mice can approximate the electric field distributions produced by human TMS.
    • Identified specific electrode placements (cortical surface or implanted) as practical and accurate for modeling focal TMS.
    • Showcased the potential for improved focality and strength approximation compared to direct TMS in mice.

    Conclusions:

    • Electric stimulation, particularly with cortical surface or implanted electrodes, is a more accurate method for modeling focal TMS in mice.
    • This approach enhances the preclinical translatability of TMS research by better approximating human therapeutic parameters.
    • Enables more precise targeting of specific cortical regions in mouse models, mirroring human TMS applications.
