Cerebellar and Spinal Direct Current Stimulation in Children: Computational Modeling of the Induced Electric Field
Recent studies have shown that the specific application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the cerebellum can modulate cerebellar activity. In parallel, transcutaneous spinal DC stimulation (tsDCS) was found to be able to modulate conduction along the spinal cord and spinal cord functions. Of particular interest is the possible use of these techniques in pediatric age, since...
متن کاملDeterminants of the electric field during transcranial direct current stimulation
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) causes a complex spatial distribution of the electric current flow in the head which hampers the accurate localization of the stimulated brain areas. In this study we show how various anatomical features systematically shape the electric field distribution in the brain during tDCS. We constructed anatomically realistic finite element (FEM) models o...
متن کاملTranscutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation
In the past 10 years renewed interest has centered on non-invasive transcutaneous weak direct currents applied over the scalp to modulate cortical excitability ("brain polarization" or transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS). Extensive literature shows that tDCS induces marked changes in cortical excitability that outlast stimulation. Aiming at developing a new, non-invasive, approach to...
متن کاملInforming dose design by modeling transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation.
See Article, pages xxx–xxx Computational modeling of neuromodulation by electrical stimulation is necessary to inform clinical trial design and to describe the underlying mechanism of action These models characterize the relationship between stimulation dose (the parameters controlled by the operator; Peterchev et al., 2012) and the resulting current flow and neuromodulation in order to advise ...
متن کاملDosage Considerations for Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children: A Computational Modeling Study
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is being widely investigated in adults as a therapeutic modality for brain disorders involving abnormal cortical excitability or disordered network activity. Interest is also growing in studying tDCS in children. Limited empirical studies in children suggest that tDCS is well tolerated and may have a similar safety profile as in adults. However, in...
