The potential effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on language functioning: Combining neuromodulation and behavioral intervention in aphasia.

TL;DR: The recent application of transcranial direct current stimulation to language rehabilitation has already provided promising results and an overview of the most important results achieved and discusses how the application of this treatment might potentiate aphasia recovery.

Traumatic axonal injury influences the cognitive effect of non-invasive brain stimulation.

TL;DR: It is shown that the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on cognitive function after traumatic brain injury are heavily influenced by white matter damage within the stimulated network.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation on Unilateral Neglect After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Evidence is found for the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the remediation of poststroke UN, but the effectiveness of transcrania direct current stimulation and continuous theta burst stimulation was uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The peripheral effect of direct current stimulation on brain circuits involving memory

TL;DR: In a series of studies, it is reported that noninvasive direct current stimulation indirectly affects neural circuits via peripheral nerves and can cause activation of the greater occipital nerve and augments memory via the ascending fibers of the occipitals to the locus coeruleus, promoting noradrenaline release.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Impact of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Bipolar Depression, Mania, and Euthymia: a Systematic Review of Preliminary Data.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggests that tDCS holds promise as a treatment for BD, especially during depressive episodes, and emerging data suggesting tDCS may impact neurocognition and sleep quality in euthymia and be useful for relapse prevention are emerging.

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.
