Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Neurodegenerative Disorders
نویسنده
چکیده
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique developed more than fifty years ago [1]. tDCS acts modulating the excitability of a targeted brain area by altering neuronal membrane potentials, consequently modifying the brain circuitries related to the targeted areas [2,3]. tDCS has been recently considered as a potential non-invasive tool for neuromodulation due to its ability to promote cortical changes, reflecting on changes in motor and cognitive functions [3-7].
