Learning, memory and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2012
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been the subject of many studies concerning its possible cognitive effects. One of the proposed mechanisms of action for neuromodulatory techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and ...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Memory Enhancement [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2021
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.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and language [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2012
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 ...

Augmentation of Fear Extinction by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) [PDF]

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2018
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 ...

Impact of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Neuronal Functions [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, modulates neuronal excitability by the application of a small electrical current. The low cost and ease of the technique has driven interest in potential clinical applications.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Mice

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2018
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) – Application in neuropsychology

Neuropsychologia, 2015
Non-invasive brain stimulation is a versatile tool to modulate psychological processes via alterations of brain activity, and excitability. It is applied to explore the physiological basis of cognition and behavior, as well as to reduce clinical symptoms in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Neuromodulatory brain stimulation via transcranial direct

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for fatigue in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

NeuroRehabilitation, 2014
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 ...

THE TRANSCRANIAL STIMULATION WITH DIRECT CURRENTS (TDCS): AN HISTORICAL AND CONCEPTUAL MINIREVIEW [PDF]

Acta Medica Mediterranea, 2018
<p>Transcranial Stimulation with Direct Currents (tDCS) is a method for non invasive brain stimulation created to induce func- tional changes in cerebral cortex. tDCS consists of application on the scalp of electrodes providing a low intensity direct current influencing neuronal functions.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for idiopathic Parkinson's disease [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2016
Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, with the severity of the disability usually increasing with disease duration. IPD affects patients' health-related quality of life, disability, and impairment. Current rehabilitation approaches have limited effectiveness in improving outcomes in patients with IPD, but a possible ...
