Sham tDCS: A hidden source of variability? Reflections for further blinded, controlled trials.

TL;DR: A multiplicity of sham stimulation protocols is being used in the tDCS research field and might have different biological effects beyond the intended transient sensations and it is sought to enlighten the scientific community to this possible confounding factor in order to increase reproducibility of neurophysiological, cognitive and clinical tDCS studies.

Towards unravelling task-related modulations of neuroplastic changes induced in the human motor cortex

TL;DR: The results show that transcranial direct current stimulation-induced plasticity is highly dependent on the state of the subject during stimulation, which was lower after both anodal and cathodal stimulation, compared with the passive condition.

Fatigue in multiple sclerosis – Insights into evaluation and management

TL;DR: The definition of MS fatigue is revisited, an overview of its pathophysiology is provided, and its clinical, structural and functional correlates are reappraised, along with a "road map" to facilitate the diagnosis and guide the therapeutic regimens of this multifactorial and multidimensional construct.

Revolution of Alzheimer Precision Neurology. Passageway of Systems Biology and Neurophysiology

TL;DR: The goals are to identify common biological denominators or differentiating classifiers across the continuum of ND during detectable stages of pathophysiological progression, characterize systems-based intermediate endophenotypes, validate multi-modal novel diagnostic systems biomarkers, and advance clinical intervention trial designs by utilizing systems- based intermediate end phenotypes and candidate surrogate markers.

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.
