abstract

aim of this research was exploring effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs) on working memory (wm) in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlpfc) region in healthy people.the method used in this research was experimental with random assignment and control group. the population was male students of kharazmi university in range of 18 to 23 years old. thirty participant undertook three experimental sessions in which they received 15 minutes of  2 ma anodal tdcs or sham tdcs. after and before stimulation participant performed n-back task to measure reaction time and correct answers. after analysis of covariance there was significant  statistically changing in reaction time and correct answers.the results shows that anodal stimulation reduced reaction time and increased correct answers and it seems made enhance on working memory

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...

Effect of Motor Cortex Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)on the Strength and Endurance performance of Healthy Collegiate Subjects

Introduction: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique used to modify the activity of the cortex of the brain. This form of current is capable of inducing changes in the electrical activity inside and outside of the neurons, which leads to a change in the resting membrane potential and thus improves the efficiency of the neural synapse. Therefore, the aim of th...

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...
