The efficacy of transcranial current stimulation techniques to modulate resting-state EEG, to affect vigilance and to promote sleepiness [PDF]
, 2018 Transcranial Current Stimulations (tCSs) are non-invasive brain stimulation techniques which modulate cortical excitability and spontaneous brain activity by the application of weak electric currents through the scalp, in a safe, economic, and well ...

Effect of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive function in stroke patients
The Egyptian Journal of Neurology, Psychiatry and Neurosurgery, 2018 Background Cognitive impairment after stroke is common and can cause disability with major impacts on quality of life and independence. Transcranial direct current stimulation may represent a promising tool for reconstitution of cognitive functions in ...

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

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in depression induces structural plasticity [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 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 ...

Surface EEG-Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Closed-Loop System [PDF]
International Journal of Neural Systems, 2017 Conventional transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocols rely on applying electrical current at a fixed intensity and duration without using surrogate markers to direct the interventions. This has led to some mixed results; especially because tDCS induced effects may vary depending on the ongoing level of brain activity.

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 (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 ...

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 ...
