Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex

, 2004
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

Characterizing human vestibular sensory epithelia for experimental studies: new hair bundles on old tissue and implications for therapeutic interventions in ageing.

, 2015
Balance disequilibrium is a significant contributor to falls in the elderly. The most common cause of balance dysfunction is loss of sensory cells from the vestibular sensory epithelia of the inner ear.

Imperceptible gamma-band sensory stimulation enhances episodic memory retrieval

, 2023
Enhanced gamma activity (30-100Hz) coincides with the successful recall of episodic memories, but it remains unknown whether this oscillatory activity is a cause or a consequence of the retrieval process.

Cutaneous sensory perception training using electrical stimulation: three case studies

, 2001
It has been demonstrated that sensory ability can be changed by training and that this can cause neuroplastic changes within the brain. This paper describes a device and its use for the training sensory perception by means of electrical stimulation ...
