  • Flexible modeling of large-scale neural network stimulation: Electrical and optical extensions to The Virtual Electrode Recording Tool for EXtracellular Potentials (VERTEX)

    Authors: Pierce, A.F., Shupe, L., Bloch, J., Fetz, E. and Yazdan-Shahmorad, A. Publication: Journal of Neuroscience Methods Date: June 13, 2025 Abstract: Computational models that predict effects of neural stimulation can serve as a preliminary tool to inform in-vivo research, reducing costs, time, and ethical considerations. However, current models do not support the diverse neural…
