Transcranial direct current stimulation of the motor cortex in the treatment of chronic non-specific low back pain. A randomised, double-blind exploratory study [PDF]
, 2011 This exploratory study aimed to test the proof of principle that active anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the motor cortex reduces pain significantly more than sham stimulation in a group of participants with chronic non ...

Transcranial Direct Corrent stimulation (tDCS) of the anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC) modulates reinforcement learning and decision-making under uncertainty: A doubleblind crossover study [PDF]
, 2017 Reinforcement learning refers to the ability to acquire information from the outcomes of prior choices (i.e. positive and negative) in order to make predictions on the effect of future decision and adapt the behaviour basing on past experiences.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Stroke Recovery [PDF]
Archives of Neurology, 2008 Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) is an emerging technique of noninvasive brain stimulation that has been found useful in examining cortical function in healthy subjects and in facilitating treatments of various neurologic disorders. A better understanding of adaptive and maladaptive poststroke neuroplasticity and its modulation through ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Laser ultrasound super‐resolution imaging (LUSSI) leverages laser‐generated ultrasound for functional 3D transcranial imaging of brain tumor vasculature. Combined with optoacoustic tomography, it is demonstrated in a glioblastoma model, revealing structural abnormalities, compressed vessels, hemorrhages, and hypoxic regions.

Transcranial direct current stimulation and the visual cortex
Brain Research Bulletin, 2006 Neuroplastic changes are defined as enduring changes in the organization of the central nervous system, such as the strength of connections, representational patterns, or neuronal properties, either morphological or functional. In recent years, new tools have emerged to induce and manipulate ongoing neuroplastic changes by external stimulation, either ...

Potentiating Cerebral Perfusion Normalizes Glymphatic Dynamics in Systemic Inflammation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.LPS‐induced systemic inflammation increases glymphatic influx but delays cervical lymphatic drainage, accompanied by AQP4 depolarization and impaired glymphatic clearance. Enhancing cerebral blood flow via the inotropic agent levosimendan effectively restored AQP4 polarization, improving glymphatic flux and amyloid‐β clearance.

Brain-state determines learning improvements after transcranial alternating-current stimulation to frontal cortex [PDF]
, 2018 Published in final edited form as: Brain Stimul. 2018 ; 11(4): 723–726. doi:10.1016/j.brs.2018.02.008BACKGROUND Theories of executive control propose that communication between medial frontal cortex (MFC) and lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) is ...

Modulation of creativity by transcranial direct current stimulation
Brain Stimulation, 2019 Creativity is the use of original ideas to accomplish something innovative. Previous research supports the notion that creativity is facilitated by an activation of the right and/or a deactivation of the left prefrontal cortex. In contrast, recent brain imaging studies suggest that creativity improves with left frontal activation.The present study was ...
