Cortical stimulation in pharmacoresistant focal epilepsies
Pharmacoresistance and adverse drug events designate a considerable group of patients with focal epilepsies that require alternative treatments such as neurosurgical intervention and neurostimulation. Electrical or magnetic stimulations of cortical brain

Direct Measurement of the Electric Field Induced by a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator
This work proposes a simple method to carry out in the laboratory a direct measurement of the primary solenoidal electric field that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils generate in the brain. This method avoids indirect estimation of this electric field from measurements of magnetic fields and, at the same time, overcomes the difficulty posed

Effects of Ocular Direct Current Stimulation on Full Field Electroretinogram
Studies on weak current stimulation (1–2 mA) examine effects on neuronal cells for the treatment of neurological diseases, like depression. Ocular current stimulation showed positive effects on retinal nerve cells which indicate that neurodegenerative ...
