TL;DR: Fourteen consecutive days tDCS significantly decreased SFs in patients with refractory focal epilepsy, with 2 × 20-min daily stimulation protocol being superior to 20-mindaily stimulation protocol.

Methods and strategies of tDCS for the treatment of pain: current status and future directions.
Kevin Pacheco-Barrios,Alejandra Cardenas-Rojas,Aurore Thibaut,Aurore Thibaut,Beatriz Teixeira Costa,Isadora Santos Ferreira,Wolnei Caumo,Felipe Fregni +7 more
TL;DR: Conventional tDCS approaches demonstrated promising effects to manage pain and new strategies are under development to enhance tDCS effects and make this approach more easily available by using, for instance, home-based devices.

TL;DR: Short-term anodal tDCS of the left DLPFC did not have an immediate effect on ad libitum food intake or thereby weight change, relative to sham tDCS.

Brain Modulation by Electric Currents in Fibromyalgia: A Structured Review on Non-invasive Approach With Transcranial Electrical Stimulation.
Filippo Brighina,Massimiliano Curatolo,Giuseppe Cosentino,Marina de Tommaso,Giuseppe Battaglia,Piercarlo Sarzi-Puttini,Giuliana Guggino,Brigida Fierro +7 more
TL;DR: The great majority of reports, based on direct currents (transcranial direct currents stimulation: tDCS) and targeting M1, showed efficacy on pain measures and less on cognitive and affective symptoms, even if several aspects as maintenance of therapeutical effects and optimal stimulation parameters remain to be established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Literature Review on the Effects of tDCS Coupled with Robotic Therapy in Post Stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation.
Davide Simonetti,Loredana Zollo,Stefano Milighetti,Sandra Miccinilli,Marco Bravi,Federico Ranieri,Giovanni Magrone,Eugenio Guglielmelli,Vincenzo Di Lazzaro,Silvia Sterzi +9 more
TL;DR: The literature analysis seems to demonstrate that the association of tDCS with robotic training has the same clinical gain derived from robotic therapy alone, so future studies should investigate combined approach tailored to the individual patient's characteristics.

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.

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
Rita Z. Goldstein,Nora D. Volkow +1 more
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.
