Methodological Dimensions of Transcranial Brain Stimulation with the Electrical Current in Human
Transcranial current stimulation (TCS) is a neuromodulation method in which the patient is exposed to a mild electric current (direct or alternating) at 1-2 mA, resulting in an increase or a decrease in the brain excitability. This modi.cation in neural activities can be used as a method for functional human brain mapping with causal inferences. This method might also facilitate the treatments ...

متن کاملAwake Craniotomy and Coaching
Background: The importance of monitoring cognition during awake craniotomy has been well described in previous studies. The relevance of being coached during such a procedure has received less attention and questions still remain unanswered about what factors are the most important herein. Objective: The aim of this study was to qualitatively analyze what factors were, according to our patients...
متن کاملAwake Craniotomy: Lessons Learned
Awake craniotomy is still in its evolutionary stage and is generally successful in a highly motivated patient. The attending anesthesiologist must ensure that patient is optimally sedated and pain free yet readily arousable. In addition, it is essential to have a Plan B and C ready in case the first one fails. We adopted awake craniotomy technique in a 33 yr old male patient undergoing excision...
