Fgf6-knockout mice exhibited improved ALI and enhanced liver regeneration, with intramuscular injection of FGF6-neutralizing antibody rescuing the detrimental effects induced by GR knockdown.

This review explores the latest neuromodulation techniques, focusing on the critical role of γ oscillations in various brain disorders.

We investigate how monitoring dynamic features of γ oscillations allows for detailed evaluations of neuromodulation effectiveness. By targeting γ oscillatory patterns and restoring healthy cross-frequency coupling, interventions may alleviate cognitive and behavioral symptoms linked to disrupted communication. This review examines clinical applications of γ neuromodulations, including enhancing cognitive function through 40 Hz multisensory stimulation in Alzheimer's disease, improving motor function in Parkinson's disease, controlling seizures in epilepsy, and modulating emotional dysfunctions in depression. Additionally, these neuromodulation strategies aim to regulate excitatory-inhibitory imbalances and restore γ synchrony across neurological and psychiatric disorders.
