Direct electrical stimulation for epilepsy: The laboratory evidence [PDF]
SummaryStudies of deep brain stimulation in laboratory models of seizures and epilepsy are invaluable for understanding of mechanisms of stimulation and for identifying best targets and parameters of stimulation. Recent successes of clinical trials may give more impetus to laboratory studies, which in turn will further our clinical practice.

Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Auditory-Verbal Memory in Healthy Elderly
Background and purpose: Auditory-verbal memory decreases with age. One method to compensate this weakness is transcranial direct current stimulation. The current study investigated the effect of Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on auditory ...

Improved Functional Outcome After Peripheral Nerve Stimulation of the Impaired Forelimb Post-stroke
Lack of blood flow to the brain, i.e., ischemic stroke, results in loss of nerve cells and therefore loss of function in the effected brain regions. There is no effective treatment to improve lost function except restoring blood flow within the first ...

Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex [PDF]
Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy
