Journal ArticleDOI
Excitability Changes Induced in the Human Primary Visual Cortex by Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Direct Electrophysiological Evidence
TL;DR: In this article, anodal and cathodal tDCS were used to induce reversible excitability changes in a polarity-specific way, not only in the motor but also in the primary visual cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
The restless legs syndrome
TL;DR: Dopaminergic treatment with levodopa and dopamine agonists is the first choice in idiopathic restless legs syndrome, but augmentation and rebound should be monitored in long-term treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preconditioning with transcranial direct current stimulation sensitizes the motor cortex to rapid-rate transcranial magnetic stimulation and controls the direction of after-effects
Nicolas Lang,Hartwig R. Siebner,Hartwig R. Siebner,Diana Ernst,Michael A. Nitsche,Walter Paulus,Roger N. Lemon,John C. Rothwell +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that magnitude and direction of after-effects induced by rapid-rate rTMS depend on the state of cortical excitability before stimulation and can be tuned by preconditioning with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Consolidation of human motor cortical neuroplasticity by D-cycloserine.
TL;DR: The potency of this drug to consolidate neuronal excitability enhancements, most probably by stabilizing the strengthening of NMDA receptors, which is a probable neurophysiological derivate of learning processes, makes it an interesting substance to improve cognitive functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
GABAergic modulation of DC stimulation-induced motor cortex excitability shifts in humans
Michael A. Nitsche,David Liebetanz,Anett Schlitterlau,Undine Henschke,K. Fricke,Kai Frommann,Nicolas Lang,Stefan Henning,Walter Paulus,Frithjof Tergau +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that pharmacological strengthening of GABAergic inhibition modulates selectively the after‐effects elicited by anodal tDCS, which results in late‐occurring excitability enhancement in the human motor cortex.
