objective: obsessive-compulsive disorder (ocd) is one of the greatest and debilitating disorders, which many of its patients do not respond to psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. in this regard, paying attention to new treatments such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs) is important. the purpose of the present research was to examine the effects of tdcs on the obsession-compulsion ...

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...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique inducing prolonged brain excitability changes and promoting cerebral plasticity, is a promising option for neurorehabilitation. Here, we review progress in research on tDCS and language functions and on the potential role of tDCS in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia. Currently available data suggest that...

[Purpose] This study investigated whether inhibition of unilateral vestibular function by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) facilitates center-of-gravity (CoG) displacement. [Participants and Methods] Ten healthy individuals participated in this study. During a CoG displacement task, the subjects received 3 minutes cathodal tDCS applied to right mastoid (tDCS condition) or first 30...

It is an Intensive 1-day course for introducing utilizing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in an applied format. This technique is a noninvasive brain stimulation that uses direct electrical currents over the head to stimulate specific parts of the brain which modulates neuronal activity. It has strong potentiality in the field of medical and neuroscientific research. Anodal stimu...

As important non-invasive techniques in brain stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have been studied and compared in this paper by employing impedance method and a 3D human head model. The quantitative analysis of distributions of current density and electric field by tDCS and TMS have been presented. Results are compared and po...

Abstract Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) interventions are promising for the treatment of psychiatry disorders. Notwithstanding, mechanisms action NIBS over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a hub that modulates affective and cognitive processes, have not been completely mapped. We aimed to investigate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) changes DLPFC interconnected subgenual anteri...
