Multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation to the intact hemisphere improves visual function after unilateral ablation of visual cortex [PDF]
Damage to cerebral systems is frequently followed by the emergence of compensatory mechanisms, which serve to reduce the effects of brain damage and allow recovery of function. Intrinsic recovery, however, is rarely complete.

Brain Electrical Stimulation for Animal Navigation [PDF]
The brain stimulation and its widespread use is one of the most important subjects in studies of neurophysiology. In brain electrical stimulation methods, following the surgery and electrode implantation, electrodes send electrical impulses to the specific targets in the brain.

Band power modulation through intracranial EEG stimulation and its cross-session consistency [PDF]
Background: Direct electrical stimulation of the brain through intracranial electrodes is currently used to probe the epileptic brain as part of pre-surgical evaluation, and it is also being considered for therapeutic treatments through neuromodulation.

Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques can modulate cognitive processing [PDF]
Recent methods that allow a noninvasive modulation of brain activity are able to modulate human cognitive behavior. Among these methods are transcranial electric stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation that both come in multiple variants.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for the treatment of neurologic diseases has markedly increased in popularity over the past 15 years. This review primarily focuses on movement disorder applications and efficacy of DBS, but also briefly reviews other promising new and old uses of DBS.A multidisciplinary team consisting of a movement disorders neurologist ...

Brain stimulation and memory [PDF]
This scientific commentary refers to ‘Visual-spatial memory may be enhanced with theta burst deep brain stimulation of the fornix: a preliminary investigation with four cases’, by Miller et al. (doi:10.1093/brain/awv095). Loss of memory is one of the most devastating afflictions of the human condition.

Effects of electrical and optogenetic deep brain stimulation on synchronized oscillatory activity in Parkinsonian basal ganglia [PDF]
Conventional deep brain stimulation (DBS) of basal ganglia uses high-frequency regular electrical pulses to treat Parkinsonian motor symptoms and has a series of limitations. Relatively new and not yet clinically tested optogenetic stimulation is an effective experimental stimulation technique to affect pathological network dynamics.

Effect of neurostimulation on cognition and mood in refractory epilepsy. [PDF]
Epilepsy is a common, debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures. Mood disorders and cognitive deficits are common comorbidities in epilepsy that, like seizures, profoundly influence quality of life and can be difficult to ...
