Extracellular neural microstimulation may activate much larger regions than expected by simulations: a combined experimental and modeling study.

Electrical stimulation of the central nervous system has been widely used for decades for either fundamental research purposes or clinical treatment applications. Yet, very little is known regarding the spatial extent of an electrical stimulation. If pioneering experimental studies reported that act...
