Variability in non-invasive brain stimulation studies: reasons and results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (NIBS), such as Theta Burst Stimulation (TBS), Paired Associative Stimulation (PAS) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), are widely used to probe plasticity in the human motor cortex (M1). Although

Gamma‐induction in frontotemporal dementia (GIFTeD) randomized placebo‐controlled trial: Rationale, noninvasive brain stimulation protocol, and study design

open access: yesAlzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, 2021
Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no effective pharmacological treatment. Recently, interneuron activity responsible for fast oscillatory brain activity has been found to be impaired in a mouse ...

Multiple sessions of transcranial direct current stimulation to the intact hemisphere improves visual function after unilateral ablation of visual cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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.

Cerebellum: an explanation for dystonia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Dystonia is a movement disorder that is characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, abnormal movements and postures, as well as by non-motor symptoms, and is due to abnormalities in different brain areas.

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation does not affect verbal memory performance in healthy volunteers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Introduction: Invasive vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) improves word recognition memory in patients with epilepsy. Recent studies with transcutaneous VNS (tVNS) have also shown positive effects on various subdomains of cognitive functioning in healthy ...

Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Neglect Rehabilitation: An Update [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Here, we review the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in the rehabilitation of neglect. We found 12 studies including 172 patients (10 TMS studies and 2 tDCS studies) fulfilling our search criteria.

A step toward restoring hand functions in patients with multiple sclerosis—a study protocol

open access: yesFrontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2023
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, demyelination of axons, and oligodendrocyte loss in the central nervous system.

Local and Distributed fMRI Changes Induced by 40 Hz Gamma tACS of the Bilateral Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex: A Pilot Study

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2022
Over the past few years, the possibility of modulating fast brain oscillatory activity in the gamma (γ) band through transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has been discussed in the context of both cognitive enhancement and therapeutic ...

Causative role of left aIPS in coding shared goals during human-avatar complementary joint actions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Successful motor interactions require agents to anticipate what a partner is doing in order to predictively adjust their own movements. Although the neural underpinnings of the ability to predict others' action goals have been well explored during ...

Non‐invasive brain stimulation for dystonia: therapeutic implications [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, 2017
Dystonia is characterized by excessive muscle contractions giving rise to abnormal posture and involuntary twisting movements. Although dystonia syndromes are a heterogeneous group of disorders, certain pathophysiological mechanisms have been consistently identified across different forms.
