Home-Based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Enhance Cognition in Stroke: Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: RS-tDCS is effective in patients with moderate cognitive decline and has the potential to enhance home-based cognitive training, although significant differences were not consistently found in between-group comparisons; therefore, further larger studies are needed.

Could Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Join the Therapeutic Armamentarium in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?

TL;DR: A large number of people diagnosed with Obsessive-compulsive disorder have a history of substance abuse, particularly in the context of a youth-services agency.

DUAL-tDCS Treatment over the Temporo-Parietal Cortex Enhances Writing Skills: First Evidence from Chronic Post-Stroke Aphasia.

TL;DR: The results confirm the critical role of the temporo-parietal cortex in writing skills and suggest, for the first time, that dual tDCS associated with training is efficacious for severe agraphia.

Recent innovations in non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for the treatment of unipolar and bipolar depression: a narrative review

TL;DR: In this article , the authors provide a brief, updated compendium of the latest innovative acquisition for the use of NIBS in the treatment of depression, either unipolar or bipolar, as well as treatment-resistant depression (TRD), with a specific focus on innovative set-up, devices, target areas, and parameters that may affect the outcome.

Excitability changes induced in the human motor cortex by weak transcranial direct current stimulation.

TL;DR: Transcranial electrical stimulation using weak current may be a promising tool to modulate cerebral excitability in a non‐invasive, painless, reversible, selective and focal way.

Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease

Michael T. Heneka, +41 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis suggests that several genes that increase the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease encode factors that regulate glial clearance of misfolded proteins and the inflammatory reaction.

Publication bias in clinical research

TL;DR: The presence of publication bias in a cohort of clinical research studies is confirmed and it is suggested that conclusions based only on a review of published data should be interpreted cautiously, especially for observational studies.

Theory for the development of neuron selectivity: orientation specificity and binocular interaction in visual cortex

TL;DR: The development of stimulus selectivity in the primary sensory cortex of higher vertebrates is considered in a general mathematical framework and a synaptic evolution scheme of a new kind is proposed in which incoming patterns rather than converging afferents compete.

Drug Addiction and Its Underlying Neurobiological Basis: Neuroimaging Evidence for the Involvement of the Frontal Cortex

TL;DR: An integrated model of drug addiction that encompasses intoxication, bingeing, withdrawal, and craving is proposed, and results imply that addiction connotes cortically regulated cognitive and emotional processes, which result in the overvaluing of drug reinforcers, the undervalued of alternative rein forcers, and deficits in inhibitory control for drug responses.
