Cognitive exergame training and transcranial random noise stimulation effects on executive control in healthy young adults.

Objective: In the present study, we investigated efficacy of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) combined with an exergame training (physical exercise a videogame) chosen as potential techniques to boost brain functioning and promote plastic effects in healthy young adults. The aim was improve motor response speed time when inhibition required. Method: Forty-nine participants were randomly assigned four conditions. protocol consisted eight sessions cognitive (or no training) associated active or sham left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (left-DLPFC). Results: results indicated faster simple reaction times following training, Go trials (while ratio NoGo remained unaltered) tRNS. No interactions between two procedures. Conclusions: These findings reveal better performance both tasks independent techniques. Using noninvasive may be viable strategy increase executive control.
