Abstract
Electrostimulating waveforms offering simultaneous and controllable cell-type-specific entrainment are described. The waveforms selectively entrain excitatory versus inhibitory cortical and hippocampal neurons including pyramidal neurons, parvalbumin neurons, and somatostatin neurons. The embodiment provides targeted electrical stimulation (ES) entrainment of excitatory versus inhibitory neurons. For example, the current disclosure provides methods of selectively entraining excitatory neurons with ES frequencies below 30 Hertz (Hz) and in particular embodiments to frequencies below 15 Hz, such as 8 Hz and 4 Hz. The current disclosure also provides methods of selectively entraining inhibitory neurons to ES frequencies of at least 30 Hz and depending on the type of inhibitory neuron, utilizing a frequency that is 30-60 Hz or a frequency that is greater than 100 Hz.
