Abstract

Utilising the Hebbian principle of synaptic plasticity, Chiappini et al. developed a protocol for selectively strengthening specific neural connections within the human V5-to-V1 pathway. State-dependent TMS boosted visual sensitivity to specific motion directions, indicative of selective targeting of functionally specific neural pathways.
