A double-blinded randomised controlled trial exploring the effect of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation and uni-lateral robot therapy for the impaired upper limb in sub-acute and chronic stroke [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND:Neurorehabilitation technologies such as robot therapy (RT) and transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) can promote upper limb (UL) motor recovery after stroke.

Wearable Metamaterials with Embodied Intelligence for Programmable Control of Human Limbs Tremor

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Resulting from alternating muscle contractions, tremors can severely limit human ability to perform everyday tasks like walking or talking, due to their disruptive nature. Medication and surgery may not always effectively address tremor control. A wearable device embodying programmable smart metamaterials with adaptable intelligence to meet the demand ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation for depression in Alzheimer’s disease: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Trials, 2017
Background Patients with Alzheimer’s disease frequently elicit neuropsychiatric symptoms as well as cognitive deficits. Above all, depression is one of the most common neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease but antidepressant drugs have not ...

Transcranial electric stimulation for the investigation of speech perception and comprehension. [PDF]

, 2016
Transcranial electric stimulation (tES), comprising transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), involves applying weak electrical current to the scalp, which can be used to modulate membrane ...

Differential roles of EA‐TRAPed cells in the anterior cingulate cortex across various intervention times in inflammatory pain

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The cumulative effect of EA analgesia is partially attributed to the activation of EA‐TRAPed cells in ACC. Multiple EA sessions and single EA sessions activated different neuronal populations in the ACC. The enhanced analgesic effect of multiple EA sessions may be attributed to an increase in the proportion of GABAergic neurons within the ACC. Abstract

Cerebellum to motor cortex paired associative stimulation induces bidirectional STDP-like plasticity in human motor cortex [PDF]

, 2012
The cerebellum is crucially important for motor control and adaptation. Recent non-invasive brain stimulation studies have indicated the possibility to alter the excitability of the cerebellum and its projections to the contralateral motor cortex, with ...
