International Parkinson and movement disorder society evidence‐based medicine review: Update on treatments for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The objective of this review was to update evidence‐based medicine recommendations for treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease with new recommendations for treatment of central nervous system symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Safety and recommendations for TMS use in healthy subjects and patient populations, with updates on training, ethical and regulatory issues: Expert Guidelines

TL;DR: New operational guidelines are provided for safety in planning future trials based on traditional and patterned TMS protocols, as well as a summary of the minimal training requirements for operators, and a note on ethics of neuroenhancement.

Improved naming after transcranial direct current stimulation in aphasia. Commentaries

TL;DR: Whereas anodal and sham tDCS failed to induce any changes, cathodal tDCS significantly improved the accuracy of the picture naming task by a mean of 33.6% (SEM 13.8%).

Effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation and visual illusion on neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation and visual illusion can be effective in the management of neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury, with minimal side effects and with good tolerability.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Naming Reaction Time in Fluent Aphasia A Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled Study

TL;DR: A-tDCS administered during language treatment decreased processing time during picture naming by fluent aphasic participants, an inexpensive method with no reported serious side effects, with behavioral language therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of large-scale brain networks by transcranial direct current stimulation evidenced by resting-state functional MRI.

TL;DR: This study reveals a reconfiguration of intrinsic brain activity networks after active tDCS, which may help to explain earlier reports of improvements in cognitive functions after anodal-tDCS, where increasing cortical excitability may have facilitated reconfigurations of functional brain networks to address upcoming cognitive demands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational Models of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

TL;DR: Though the tDCS electrode montage often follows basic rules of thumb, computational forward models of brain current flow provide more accurate insight into detailed current flow patterns and, in some cases, can even challenge simplified electrode-placement assumptions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prefrontal direct current stimulation modulates resting EEG and event-related potentials in healthy subjects: A standardized low resolution tomography (sLORETA) study

TL;DR: It is suggested that anodal tDCS of the left DLPFC and/or cathode of the contralateral supraorbital region may modulate regional electrical activity in the prefrontal and anterior cingulate cortex in addition to improving working memory performance.
