Welcome to the Corneil Lab

The lab is headed by Dr. Brian Corneil, and is located at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada.

We study how the brain controls movement

Our lab seeks to understand how the brain transforms vision into action.  Much of our current work is motivated by the desire to understand how cortical and subcortical areas work together to move in a complex and changing world. Such an understanding is needing to appreciate how the brain changes following injury or disease, and how to design better brain therapies.

Continuous Theta-Burst stimulation of the prefrontal cortex in the macaque monkey: no evidence for within-target inhibition or cross-hemisphere disinhibition of neural activity

​

  • Continuous Theta-Burst Stimulation (cTBS) widely used in lab and clinic to rebalance activity across cortex.

  • We tested this in a monkey model, delivering cTBS to the prefrontal cortex.

  • No behavioral evidence for inhibition of brain area targeted by cTBS.

  • No evidence for disinhibition of spiking activity in mirroring, contralateral cortex.

  • Results question key assumptions about how cTBS influences network activity.
