Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation in Idiopathic Restless Legs Patients

TL;DR: The first tsDCS study in idiopathic RLS resulted in short-lasting clinical improvement and support the pathophysiological concept of spinal cord hyperexcitability in primary RLS and provide the basis for a new non-pharmacological treatment tool.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opposite optimal current flow directions for induction of neuroplasticity and excitation threshold in the human motor cortex.

TL;DR: The anisotropy of the human primary motor cortex is relevant for induction of plasticity by subtreshold rTMS, with a current flow opposite to that providing lowest excitability thresholds, consistent with the idea of TMS primarily targeting cortical columns of the phylogenetically new M1 in the anterior bank of the central sulcus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcranial direct current stimulation effects on I-wave activity in humans

TL;DR: Recordings of corticospinal volleys evoked by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation of the primary motor cortex before and after a 5-min period of anodal or cathodal tDCS deliver additional evidence that tDCS changes the excitability of cortical neurons.
