abstract = {In this paper, we computationally generate hypotheses for
dose-finding studies in the context of desynchronizing
neuromodulation techniques. Abnormally strong neuronal
synchronization is a hallmark of several brain disorders.
Coordinated Reset (CR) stimulation is a spatio-temporally
patterned stimulation technique that specifically aims at
disrupting abnormal neuronal synchrony. In networks with
spike-timing-dependent plasticity CR stimulation may
ultimately cause an anti-kindling, i.e., an unlearning of
abnormal synaptic connectivity and neuronal synchrony. This
long-lasting desynchronization was theoretically predicted
and verified in several pre-clinical and clinical studies.
We have shown that CR stimulation with rapidly varying
sequences (RVS) robustly induces an anti-kindling at low
intensities e.g., if the CR stimulation frequency (i.e.,
stimulus pattern repetition rate) is in the range of the
frequency of the neuronal oscillation. In contrast, CR
stimulation with slowly varying sequences (SVS) turned out
to induce an anti-kindling more strongly, but less robustly
with respect to variations of the CR stimulation frequency.
Motivated by clinical constraints and inspired by the
spacing principle of learning theory, in this computational
study we propose a short-term dosage regimen that enables a
robust anti-kindling effect of both RVS and SVS CR
stimulation, also for those parameter values where RVS and
SVS CR stimulation previously turned out to be ineffective.
Intriguingly, for the vast majority of parameter values
tested, spaced multishot CR stimulation with
demand-controlled variation of stimulation frequency and
intensity caused a robust and pronounced anti-kindling. In
contrast, spaced CR stimulation with fixed stimulation
parameters as well as singleshot CR stimulation of equal
integral duration failed to improve the stimulation outcome.
In the model network under consideration, our short-term
dosage regimen enables to robustly induce long-term
desynchronization at comparably short stimulation duration
and low integral stimulation duration. Currently, clinical
proof of concept is available for deep brain CR stimulation
for Parkinson's therapy and acoustic CR stimulation for
tinnitus therapy. Promising first in human data is available
for vibrotactile CR stimulation for Parkinson's treatment.
For the clinical development of these treatments it is
mandatory to perform dose-finding studies to reveal optimal
stimulation parameters and dosage regimens. Our findings can
straightforwardly be tested in human dose-finding studies.},
