TL;DR: The results indicate that left prefrontal anodal stimulation leads to an enhancement of working memory performance, which depends on the stimulation polarity and is specific to the site of stimulation.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that this new approach of cortical stimulation can be effective to control pain in patients with spinal cord lesion, and potential mechanisms for pain amelioration after tDCS, such as a secondary modulation of thalamic nuclei activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is associated with a change in a working memory task performance in patients with Parkinson's disease, and the results showed a significant improvement in working memory as indexed by task accuracy.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the appropriate modulation of bihemispheric brain structures can promote motor function recovery, and reduce the excitability in the unaffected hemisphere by cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation could result in motor performance improvement in stroke patients.

TL;DR: Patients showed a significant decrease in simple and choice reaction time and improved performance of the Purdue Pegboard test with their affected hand after rTMS of the motor cortex in the intact hemisphere as compared with sham rT MS.
