Transcranial Electrical Stimulation Accelerates Human Sleep Homeostasis
The sleeping brain exhibits characteristic slow-wave activity which decays over the course of the night. This decay is thought to result from homeostatic synaptic downscaling. Transcranial electrical stimulation can entrain slow-wave oscillations (SWO) in the human electro-encephalogram (EEG). A computational model of the underlying mechanism predicts that firing rates are predominantly increas...
متن کاملTranscranial Electrical Stimulation
In recent years, there has been remarkable progress in the understanding and practical use of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques. Nevertheless, to date, this experimental effort has not been accompanied by substantial reflections on the models and mechanisms that could explain the stimulation effects. Given these premises, the aim of this article is to provide an updated pictu...
متن کاملCorticospinal potentials after transcranial stimulation in humans.
The descending volley evoked in humans by transcranial electrical stimulation of the scalp was recorded with epidural and spinal electrodes. It consisted of an early wave, which increased in amplitude and decreased in latency when the strength of the stimulus was increased. The mean conduction velocity of the early wave was 66, SD 2.5 m/s. At high stimulus intensity this wave was followed by la...
متن کاملTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation in Sleep Medicine
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is both a diagnostic and a therapeutic tool for neurological diseases. Sleep disorders can be either a primary disease or the consequence of a different primary disease that disturbs sleep. Recent evidence indicates that TMS has a promising therapeutic effect in insomnia, restless legs syndrome and in sleep disturbances associated to epilepsy, depression ...
متن کاملTranscranial Electrical Currents to Probe EEG Brain Rhythms and Memory Consolidation during Sleep in Humans
Previously the application of a weak electric anodal current oscillating with a frequency of the sleep slow oscillation (∼0.75 Hz) during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NonREM) sleep boosted endogenous slow oscillation activity and enhanced sleep-associated memory consolidation. The slow oscillations occurring during NonREM sleep and theta oscillations present during REM sleep have been consider...
