Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and language [PDF]
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique inducing prolonged brain excitability changes and promoting cerebral plasticity, is a promising option for neurorehabilitation. Here, we review progress in research on tDCS and language functions and on the potential role of tDCS in the treatment of post-stroke ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Anxiety Disorders
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a well-established noninvasive brain stimulation tool that allows to stimulate the cerebral cortex. In the current chapter, we examined all available research using this neurostimulation technique for the treatment of specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, and ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in depression induces structural plasticity [PDF]
AbstractTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique involving administration of well-tolerated electrical current to the brain through scalp electrodes. TDCS may improve symptoms in neuropsychiatric disorders, but mixed results from recent clinical trials underscore the need to demonstrate that tDCS can ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Memory Enhancement [PDF]
Memory enhancement is one of the great challenges in cognitive neuroscience and neurorehabilitation. Among various techniques used for memory enhancement, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is emerging as an especially promising tool for improvement of memory functions in a non-invasive manner.

Augmentation of Fear Extinction by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) [PDF]
Although posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD; DSM-V 309.82) and anxiety disorders (DSM-V 300.xx) are widely spread mental disorders, the effectiveness of their therapy is still unsatisfying. Non-invasive brain-stimulation techniques like transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) might be an option to improve extinction learning, which is a main ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Mice
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique proposed as an alternative or complementary treatment for several neuropsychiatric diseases. The biological effects of tDCS are not fully understood, which is in part explained due to the difficulty in obtaining human brain tissue.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for fatigue in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
Background: The debilitating fatigue that patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) commonly experience during day-to-day living activities responds poorly to current therapeutic options. Direct currents (DC) delivered through the scalp (transcranial DC stimulation or tDCS) at weak intensities induce changes in motor cortical excitability that persist for ...
