Non-invasive Brain Stimulation for Chronic Pain: State of the Art and Future Directions

TL;DR: The underlying principles behind commonly used NIBS techniques are described; the results of randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses are summarized; and evidence on its effectiveness regarding pain relief in other CP conditions is conflicting.

Modulating Inhibitory Control Processes Using Individualized High Definition Theta Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (HD θ-tACS) of the Anterior Cingulate and Medial Prefrontal Cortex

TL;DR: In this paper, an individualized electrode montage of high definition θ-tACS with the current flow targeted to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC-ACC) compared with a fixed montage (non-individualized) induces a higher post-modulatory effect on inhibitory control.

Preoperative Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Glioma Patients: A Proof of Concept Pilot Study.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that tDCS appears to be feasible in glioma patients and it is shown preoperative motor training combined with tDCS may alter sensorimotor network connectivity.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Among Technologies for Low-Intensity Transcranial Electrical Stimulation: Classification, History, and Terminology

TL;DR: Modern tDCS was developed following rigorous neuro-physiological testing in animals and humans, with behavioral and clinical trials based on specific, mechanistic hypotheses derived from this canonical work facilitated in serving as a scientific anchor for the broader (re)discovery of non-invasive electrical stimulation.

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.
