OBJECTIVE Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a focal neuromodulation technique that suppresses cortical excitability by low-amplitude constant electrical current, and may have an antiepileptic effect. Yet, tDCS has not been tested in status epilepticus (SE). Furthermore, a combined tDCS and pharmacotherapy antiseizure approach is unexplored. We therefore examined in the ...

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) has been proposed as a possible therapeutic rehabilitation technique for motor impairment. However, despite extensive investigation into the effects of anodal tDCS on motor output, there is little information on how anodal tDCS affects response processes. In this study, we used a cued go/nogo task with both...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) has been shown to induce changes in motor performance and learning. Recent studies indicate that tDCS is capable of modulating widespread neural network properties within the brain. However the temporal evolution of online- and after-effects of tDCS on functional connectivity (FC) within and across the stimulated ...

Most forms of tinnitus are attributable to reorganization and hyperactivity in the auditory central nervous system with coactivation of nonauditory brain structures. One such nonauditory brain area is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), which is important for the integration of sensory and emotional aspects of tinnitus. Based on extensive evidence that transcranial direct current stimul...

26 Transcranial oscillatory current stimulation has recently emerged as a non-invasive 27 technique that can interact with ongoing endogenous rhythms of the human brain. 28 Yet, there is still little knowledge on how time-varied exogenous currents acutely 29 modulate cortical excitability. In ten healthy individuals we used online single-pulse 30 transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to searc...

OBJECTIVE Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to improve pain symptoms in fibromyalgia (FM), a central pain syndrome whose underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study was undertaken to explore the neurochemical action of tDCS in the brain of patients with FM, using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). METHODS Twelve patients with FM underwen...
