Attempts to enhance human memory and learning ability have a long tradition in science.
This topic has recently gained substantial attention because of the increasing percentage of …

The degenerative ataxias comprise a heterogeneous group of inherited and acquired
disorders that are characterized by a progressive cerebellar syndrome, frequently in …

Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a neuromodulatory non-invasive
brain stimulation technique, has shown promising results in basic and clinical studies. The …

Background Cognitive, and motor performance are reduced in aging, especially with respect
to acquisition of new knowledge, which is associated with a neural plasticity decline. Animal …

Key points The present study showed that anodal and cathodal transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS) can respectively increase and decrease the amplitude of visually evoked …

Background Electric fields generated during direct current stimulation (DCS) are known to
modulate activity-dependent synaptic plasticity in-vitro. This provides a mechanistic …

Background High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) holds promise
for therapeutic use in psychiatric disorders. One obstacle for the implementation into clinical …

The primary motor cortex (M1) is broadly acknowledged for its crucial role in executing
voluntary movements. Yet, its contributions to cognitive and sensory functions remain largely …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been used for over twenty years to
modulate cortical (particularly motor corticospinal) excitability both during (online) and …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) induces polarity-dependent neuroplasticity:
with conventional protocols, anodal tDCS results in excitability enhancement while cathodal …
