Abstract: 

Brain stimulation techniques are increasingly important tools for treating brain disorders and for probing causal structure–function relationships. The seminar presents a unified approach to modeling how electric and magnetic stimulation perturb neuronal membrane potentials, based on the electromagnetic reciprocity principle.

We first summarize recent work where reciprocity is used to efficiently compute how externally applied stimulation currents translate into membrane polarization in biophysically detailed neuron models (Ness et al, PLoS Comp Biol, 2025; Dahle, Einevoll, Ness, bioRxiv, 2025).

The same reciprocity-based approach is then extended to model transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), where coil-generated, time-varying fields modify neuronal membrane potentials.
