Perceptual learning is considered a manifestation of neural plasticity in the human brain. We investigated brain plasticity mechanisms in a learning task using noninvasive transcranial electrical stimulation (tES). We hypothesized that different types of tES would have varying actions on the nervous system, which would result in different efficacies of neural plasticity modulation. Thus, the pr...

Promising results in adult neurologic and psychiatric disorders are driving active research into transcranial brain stimulation techniques, particularly transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), in childhood and adolescent syndromes. TMS has realistic utility as an experimental tool tested in a range of pediatric neuropathologies such as perinat...

Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a method of non-invasive and painless brain with an electromagnetic field, which induces changes in the electric field leading to cortical activity modulation neurons. Currently, transcranial increasingly used diagnosis treatment various neuropsychiatric conditions, such as depression, schizophrenia, neurodegenerative diseases, more. TMS ca...

BACKGROUND The red ear syndrome represents a rare symptom complex consisting of auricular erythema associated with painful and burning sensations. It has been described in combination with tinnitus rarely. It has been hypothesized to be etiologically related to altered trigeminal afferent input, temporomandibular disorders, and thalamic dysfunction. OBJECTIVES The initial objective of applyin...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation synchronized with maximal effort to make a target movement in patients with chronic hemiplegia involving the hand. DESIGN Non-randomized double-blinded controlled trial. SUBJECTS Nine chronic patients with hemiplegia who were unable to fully extend the affected fingers following stroke. METHOD...

background: post-stroke dysphagia is common and is associated with the development of pneumonia. to investigate the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) combined with traditional dysphagia therapy (tdt) on swallowing function in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. methods: in this single-subject study, four patients with dysphagia post-stroke included. the patients re...

% ' h i s workshop. sponsored jointly by CSCW '92 and the Centre for Applied Cognitive Science at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), was organized to bring together researchers with interests in the emerging area of Computer Support for Collaborative Learning (CSCL). It was held at OISE on the weekend preceding CSCW '92 and was attended by 27 participants from academia and i...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss recent strategies for boosting the efficacy of noninvasive transcranial brain stimulation to improve human brain function. RECENT FINDINGS Recent research exposed substantial intra- and inter-individual variability in response to plasticity-inducing transcranial brain stimulation. Trait-related and state-related determinants contribute to this variability, challen...

A single pulse of transcranial magnetic stimulation has been shown to be effective for the acute treatment of migraine with and without aura. Here we aimed to investigate the potential mechanisms of action of transcranial magnetic stimulation, using a transcortical approach, in preclinical migraine models. We tested the susceptibility of cortical spreading depression, the experimental correlate...
