Modeling studies for designing transcranial direct current stimulation protocol in Alzheimer's disease

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed as a technique for brain activity modulation. In this technique, a weak current (usually 1–2mA) is delivered to scalp through two sponge electrodes. There are two types of tDCS stimulation: cathodal and anodal, which inhibit and facilitate neuronal activity, respectively (Hansen, 2012). tDCS has been shown to be effective in Alzhe...

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...

Transcranial 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...
