W6: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Workshop
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...
متن کاملCerebellar Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Effects on Saccade Adaptation
Saccade adaptation is a cerebellar-mediated type of motor learning in which the oculomotor system is exposed to repetitive errors. Different types of saccade adaptations are thought to involve distinct underlying cerebellar mechanisms. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) induces changes in neuronal excitability in a polarity-specific manner and offers a modulatory, noninvasive, funct...
متن کاملPolarizing cerebellar neurons with transcranial Direct Current Stimulation.
In this issue, Parazzini and colleagues (Parazzini et al., 2014), present computational models of brain current flow using transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) designed for cerebellum stimulation. Using MRI-derived models of three subjects, they predict that a montage with one 5 ! 9 cm sponge electrode placed roughly over the cerebellum area and an extra-cephalic electrode on the righ...
متن کاملCerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation modulates verbal working memory.
BACKGROUND Neuroimaging studies show cerebellar activations in a wide range of cognitive tasks and patients with cerebellar lesions often present cognitive deficits suggesting a cerebellar role in higher-order cognition. OBJECTIVE We used cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), known to inhibit neuronal excitability, over the cerebellum to investigate if cathodal tDCS impairs...
متن کاملTranscranial Direct-Current Stimulation
Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation similar to transcranial magnetic stimulation, but instead of using magnets, it uses a lowintensity, constant current applied through scalp electrodes. Generally, anodal stimulation induces an increase of cortical excitability, whereas cathodal stimulation decreases cortical excitability, with effects that...
