Background Transcranial direct current stimulation has shown promising clinical results,
leading to increased demand for an evidence-based review on its clinical effects. Objective …

Stroke induces a plastic state in the brain. This period of enhanced plasticity leads to the
sprouting of new axons, the formation of new synapses and the remapping of sensory-motor …

The analysis of neural dynamics in several brain cortices has consistently uncovered low-
dimensional manifolds that capture a significant fraction of neural variability. These neural …

Motor cortex is widely believed to underlie the acquisition and execution of motor skills, but
its contributions to these processes are not fully understood. One reason is that studies on …

The combination of pharmacology and transcranial magnetic stimulation to study the effects
of drugs on TMS-evoked EMG responses (pharmaco-TMS-EMG) has considerably improved …

Recent years have seen significant progress in our understanding of the neural substrates of
motor skill learning. Advances in neuroimaging provide new insight into functional …

The past 20 years have represented an important period in the development of principles
underlying neuroplasticity, especially as they apply to recovery from neurological injury. It is …

Since the rediscovery of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) about 10 years ago,
interest in tDCS has grown exponentially. A noninvasive stimulation technique that induces …

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive brain stimulation enables the induction of neuroplasticity in
humans, however, with so far restricted duration of the respective cortical excitability …

Key points• The diversity of cellular targets of direct current stimulation (DCS), including
somas, dendrites and axon terminals, determine the modulation of synaptic efficacy.• Axon …
