Transcranial alternating current stimulation over the prefrontal cortex enhances episodic memory recognition.

TL;DR: It is suggested that tACS over the left PFC enhances recognition of episodic memory in healthy young adults.

Embodied Semantics in a Second Language: Critical Review and Clinical Implications.

TL;DR: An overview of the issues at stake in this under-investigated field of second language (L2) semantic processing is offered, presenting the theoretical and clinical relevance of studying L2 embodiment and reviewing the few studies on this topic.

Contribution of the right temporoparietal junction and ventromedial prefrontal cortex to theory of mind in autism: A randomized, sham-controlled tDCS study.

TL;DR: Theory of mind (ToM) is the ability to attribute subjective mental states to oneself and others and is significantly impaired in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). as mentioned in this paper investigated contribution of the vmPFC and right TPJ in ToM abilities of ASD children via tDCS in a pilot study.

The role of electrical stimulation for rehabilitation and regeneration after spinal cord injury

TL;DR: In this paper , electrical stimulation is used to elicit muscle contraction and can be utilized for neurorehabilitation following spinal cord injury when paired with voluntary motor training, which results in improvement in motor function in patients with spinal cord injuries.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gait and Functional Mobility in Multiple Sclerosis: Immediate Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Paired With Aerobic Exercise.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a single session of anodal tDCS over M1 is not sufficient to affect walking and functional mobility in those with MS, and behavioral motor response of tDCS is likely to be cumulative, and the effects of multiple tDCS sessions require further study.

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.
