Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Dementia: A Complex Network Story.

TL;DR: This review will summarize NIBS results in the context of brain imaging studies of functional connectivity and metabolites to gain insight into the possible mechanisms underlying recovery and review studies combining magnetic resonance spectroscopy and NIBS to investigate how microscale changes are related to modifications of large-scale networks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-invasive brain stimulation for fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the efficacy and safety of non-invasive brain stimulation for fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients were investigated by searching MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases up to October 25, 2018.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioural and electrophysiological modulations induced by transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy elderly and Alzheimer's disease patients: A pilot study.

TL;DR: Functional neural modulations were promoted by anodal tDCS in healthy elderly and by cathodaltDCS in AD patients, suggesting that appropriate tDCS parameters (in terms of tDCS polarity) to induce behavioural improvements should be chosen based on the participant's characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effect of Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) on Attention and Memory Function in Stroke Rehabilitation Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness and safety of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for cognitive impairment after a stroke to obtain new insights.

A Role for the Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Enhancing Regulation of Both Craving and Negative Emotions in Internet Gaming Disorder: A Randomized Trial

TL;DR: Findings provide the first experimental evidence confirming that tDCS of the right dlPFC enhances both craving- and negative-emotion-regulation, and suggests a promising approach for concurrently enhancing executive control over two central motivational drives underlying addictions.

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.
