Despite compelling phenomenological evidence that small electric fields (< 5 mV/mm) can
affect brain function, a quantitative and experimentally verified theory is currently lacking …

The sensitivity of brain tissue to weak extracellular electric fields is important in assessing
potential public health risks of extremely low frequency (ELF) fields, and potential roles of …

Clinical effects of transcranial electrical stimulation with weak currents are remarkable
considering the low amplitude of the electric fields acting on the brain. Elucidating the …

Synchronized neuronal activity in the cortex generates weak electric fields that are routinely
measured in humans and animal models by electroencephalography and local field …

Transcranial electric stimulation aims to stimulate the brain by applying weak electrical
currents at the scalp. However, the magnitude and spatial distribution of electric fields in the …

Low intensity electric fields have been suggested to affect the ongoing neuronal activity in
vitro and in human studies. However, the physiological mechanism of how weak electrical …

Background Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is a non-invasive brain
stimulation modality that may modulate cognition by enhancing endogenous neocortical …

The cooperative action of neurons and glia generates electrical fields, but their effect on
individual neurons via ephaptic interactions is mostly unknown. Here, we analyze the impact …
