While exploring sex differences in neuroimaging requires rigorous scientific standards and often faces criticism [1, 2], such research is essential to enhance representation in science and...

Sleep stages modulate epileptic activity, while epilepsy disrupts sleep architecture. In addition to sleep-stage influences, other cyclic patterns have emerged as key modulators of seizure dynamics. This study aims to (1) characterize the effects of epilepsy on sleep architecture, (2) examine the influence of...

However, its potential to modulate brain networks beyond the stimulation site and optimal sonication parameters required for such modulation remain unclear. In light of this knowledge gap, this study investigates the effects of tFUS targeted...
