TL;DR: A relationship was found between MRS‐assessed GABA and a TMS protocol with less clearly understood physiological underpinnings that may reflect extrasynaptic GABA tone, suggesting that MRS measures of glutamate do reflect glutamatergic activity.
Trans-cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): A promising new tool to facilitate rehabilitation of manual dexterity after stroke
TL;DR: There is hope that repeated tDCS sessions applied early after stroke could reduce the maladaptive neuroplasiticy and aid hand dexterity rehabilitation.
