In an example method for increasing synaptic gain in a region of a brain of a subject, a first electromagnetic pulse is applied to a first neural element of a first neuron of the subject using a first electrode. The first neural element includes a first synapse coupled to a second neuron of the subject. Subsequent to applying the first electromagnetic pulse to the first neural element, a second electromagnetic pulse is applied to a second neural element of the second neuron using a second electrode.

Bidirectional spike-timing-dependent brain network gain control

Techniques are described for determining a voltammogram that characterizes a result of a fast-scan cyclic voltammetry process. The FSCV process can be performed using a sensing apparatus at least partially immersed in a volume of blood of a mammal. A system can process the voltammogram to determine a concentration of a neurochemical in the volume of blood of the mammal.
