Changes in motor cortical excitability in schizophrenia following transcranial direct current stimulation.

TL;DR: Investigating whether a previously published tDCS protocol associated with symptomatic improvement in schizophrenia would induce changes in motor cortical excitability, assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation paradigms found a significant increase in intracortical inhibition in subjects with schizophrenia.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Associated With Functional Exercise Program for Treating Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) associated with functional exercise on pain, functional performance, psychological symptoms, and quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia (FM) were investigated.

The Effects of Transcranial Electrical Stimulation of the Brain on Sleep: A Systematic Review.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review of studies that explored the impact of tES on neurophysiological sleep oscillations, sleep patterns measured objectively with polysomnography, and subjective psychometric assessments of sleep in both healthy and clinical samples was conducted.

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.
