“…[44][45][46][47][48] Transcranial magnetic stimulation can normalize excessive gamma oscillations in the prefrontal cortex, and restore cognitive performance in patients with schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, 49,50 and anxiety disorders. 51,52 However, the physiological mechanisms of brain wave modulation are not known, and they are essential to improve its spatiotemporal and spectral performance, both for fundamental and therapeutic purposes. 53 Optogenetics 54,55 has emerged as an alternative to controlling brain waves with electromagnetic fields: photocontrolling the release of ACh, which strongly modulates the transitions between different brain states, 9,12 is possible by overexpressing photosensitive proteins in cholinergic neurons of mice neocortex.…”

Human behavior is driven by specific neuronal activity and can be directly associated to characteristic brain states. The oscillatory activity of neurons contains information about the mental state of an individual, and the transition between different brain states is controlled by the neuromodulatory action of acetylcholine on nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. Manipulating brain waves bears high therapeutic interest in several neurological disorders, and can be achieved by transcranial direct current and magnetic stimulation techniques, and by optogenetics, although the clinical translation of the latter is hampered by the need of gene therapy. Here, we directly modulate brain waves with light using a photoswitchable muscarinic agonist. Synchronous slow wave activity can be disrupted in isolated cortical slices and in anesthetized mice. These results open the way to study the spatiotemporal distribution and the pharmacology of brain states, their transitions, and their links to cognition and behavior, in a diversity of wildtype organisms.

“…In the review in this month's Cochrane Corner, Pompoli et al (2016) used NMA to compare eight different forms of psychological therapy and three forms of a control condition. This review, along with several others, contributes to a wider group of Cochrane reviews on panic disorder (Furukawa 2007; Watanabe 2009; Xiao 2011; Guaiana 2013 a b ; Imai 2014; Bighelli 2016).…”

SUMMARYNetwork meta-analysis (NMA) is a statistical method that allows comparison of multiple treatments against each other. The use of NMA, and its advantages and potential limitations, is discussed here in the context of this issue's Cochrane review of psychological treatments for panic disorder. The review showed benefits for psychological treatment when compared to a waiting list, particularly for cognitive behavioural therapy in both the short and longer term. The findings were limited by the primary studies available, but despite these, this analysis using NMA presents the best evidence to date of the relative benefits of different types of psychological treatments in panic disorder.
