A B S T R A C TThe applications of neurophysiological therapy techniques range far and few in the realm of modern day medicine. However, the concept of electromagnetic stimulation, the basis for many noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques today, has been of interest to the scientific community since the late nineteenth century. Recently, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) a...

Several studies on patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to enhance neural excitability in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC). Interindividual differences brain anatomy AD pose a challenge efficiently target lDLPFC using scalp-based coordinates, calling for new and more precise tDCS protocols. The purpose of this study was ...

OBJECTIVE Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a focal neuromodulation technique that suppresses cortical excitability by low-amplitude constant electrical current, and may have an antiepileptic effect. Yet, tDCS has not been tested in status epilepticus (SE). Furthermore, a combined tDCS and pharmacotherapy antiseizure approach is unexplored. We therefore examined in the ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate motor cortex excitability in the human brain. We attempted to demonstrate the cortical stimulation effect of tDCS on the primary motor cortex (M1) using functional MRI (fMRI). An fMRI study was performed for 11 right-handed healthy subjects at 1.5 T. Anodal tDCS was applied to the scalp over the central knob of the M1 in the left hemis...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive stimulation technique that can be applied to modulate cortical activity through induction of cortical plasticity. Since various neuropsychiatric disorders are characterized by fluctuations in cortical activity levels (e.g., schizophrenia), tDCS is increasingly investigated as a treatment tool. Several studies have shown that the i...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect a single session cerebellar anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on timed up and go test (TUG) with foot placement in patients chronic stroke. Methods: Twenty stroke participated clinical trial. TUG carried out four different positions, 1- spontaneous positions (SP), 2- symmetrical (SYP), 3- asymmetrical (PBNP), par...

abstract background and purpose: aging is associated with brain changes and reduction in motor skill acquisi­tion that can limit its functional capacity. one of the effective interventions is using transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs). the aim of this systematic review was to assess the effect of tdcs on learning and motor skill in healthy older adults. materials and methods: a litera...
