Interview and article discussing observations of aquarium sharks interacting with enrichment objects, presenting evidence that sharks engage in play-like behaviors and the implications for welfare and enrichment practices.

National Geographic interview/article covering research on shark enrichment and play, describing experiments with toys and the varied responses across shark species.

This paper investigates the potential of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as a treatment for substance use disorders, reviewing its mechanisms and evidence in addiction treatments.

This research explores the effect of deep brain stimulation of the ventral pallidum on epileptic activity and seizure behavior in a rat model.

This paper assesses whether stimulation of the substantia nigra pars reticulata improves motor function in hemiparkinsonian rats, suggesting it as a plausible deep brain stimulation target for treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

This paper assesses whether stimulation of the substantia nigra pars reticulata improves motor function in hemiparkinsonian rats, suggesting it as a plausible deep brain stimulation target for treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

This study investigates the mechanisms by which high frequency stimulation or elevated extracellular potassium depresses neuronal activity in the rat entopeduncular nucleus, suggesting an explanation for the inhibitory effects of high frequency stimulation.

This paper explores how the introduction of novel objects influences natural behaviors in elasmobranchs, contributing to enrichment in captive environments.
