The Homeostatic Interaction Between Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Motor Learning in Humans is Related to GABAA Activity
BACKGROUND The relative timing of plasticity-induction protocols is known to be crucial. For example, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which increases cortical excitability and typically enhances plasticity, can impair performance if it is applied before a motor learning task. Such timing-dependent effects have been ascribed to homeostatic plasticity, but the specific syna...
متن کاملTime course of the induction of homeostatic plasticity generated by repeated transcranial direct current stimulation of the human motor cortex.
Several mechanisms have been proposed that control the amount of plasticity in neuronal circuits and guarantee dynamic stability of neuronal networks. Homeostatic plasticity suggests that the ease with which a synaptic connection is facilitated/suppressed depends on the previous amount of network activity. We describe how such homeostatic-like interactions depend on the time interval between tw...
متن کاملReply to Hoy and Fitzgerald: Considering homeostatic mechanisms in long-term treatments.
We welcome the intent of the letter by Hoy and Fitzgerald (1) in response to our paper (2), linking basic research to clinical findings, but we also recommend caution when doing this. Hoy and Fitzgerald (1) wish to explain the discrepancy they see when using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the healthy population versus patients with schizophrenia and, in addition, highlight th...
متن کاملPreconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex.
Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy human subjects. The experiments combined two techniques that can produce long-term effects on the excitability of corticospinal output neurons...
متن کاملTiming-dependent modulation of associative plasticity by general network excitability in the human motor cortex.
Associative neuroplasticity, which encompasses the modification of synaptic strength by coactivation of two synaptic inputs, has been linked to learning processes. Because unlimited plasticity destabilizes neuronal networks, homeostatic rules were proposed and experimentally proven that control for the amount and direction of plasticity dependent on background network activity. Accordingly, low...
