Modulation of Total Sleep Time by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Enhancement of Visuospatial Working Memory by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Prefrontal and Parietal Cortices

Objective: Previous studies have reported dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and posterior parietal (PPC) activation during the performance of spatial working memory (SWM), so we decided to investigate the comparison of Transcranial Direct current stimulation (tDCS) effect between these two areas. Methods: Fifty-four healthy right-handed students (27 female, 27 male; age= 24.3±.2 years) w...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and language

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...

Skin lesions induced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

For several years, at the Institute Guttmann Neurorehabilitation Hospital (Barcelona, Spain), we have been applying Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the management of Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. TDCS has been established as useful therapeutic option for patients with neuropathic pain [1]. Several recent studies demonstrate its efficacy, good tolerance and minima...

Induction of Neuroplasticity by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

P153: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for the Treatment of PTSD: A Brief Review of Effectiveness

Cognitive neuroscience prefers a reductionist approach to normal and abnormal brain functions. So, it tries to reducing causes and indices of cognitive and neural processes, in order to increases the accuracy in investigation and manipulation of variables. As a comparison, common diagnostic criteria for mental disorders utilize multidimensional global criteria that existence of some non-overlap...
