W6: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Workshop

w6: transcranial direct current stimulation workshop

it is an intensive 1-day course for introducing utilizing transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs) in an applied format. this technique is a noninvasive brain stimulation that uses direct electrical currents over the head to stimulate specific parts of the brain which modulates neuronal activity. it has strong potentiality in the field of medical and neuroscientific research. anodal stimu...

Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation

Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive form of brain stimulation similar to transcranial magnetic stimulation, but instead of using magnets, it uses a lowintensity, constant current applied through scalp electrodes. Generally, anodal stimulation induces an increase of cortical excitability, whereas cathodal stimulation decreases cortical excitability, with effects that...

Induction of Neuroplasticity by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Neurodegenerative Disorders

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 t...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Epilepsy.

BACKGROUND Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging non-invasive neuromodulation therapy in epilepsy with conflicting results in terms of efficacy and safety. OBJECTIVE Review the literature about the efficacy and safety of tDCS in epilepsy in humans and animals. METHODS We searched studies in PubMed, MedLine, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar (January 1969 to O...

Transcranial direct current stimulation modulates pattern separation.

Maintaining similar memories in a distinct and nonoverlapping manner, known as pattern separation, is an important mnemonic process. The medial temporal lobe, especially the hippocampus, has been implicated in this crucial memory function. The present study thus examines whether it is possible to modulate pattern separation using bilateral transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the...
