Studying and modifying brain function with non-invasive brain stimulation.

TL;DR: The state of non-invasive brain stimulation research in humans is summarized, some current debates about properties and limitations of these methods are discussed, and recommendations for how these challenges may be addressed are given.

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%).

Effect of transcranial DC sensorimotor cortex stimulation on somatosensory evoked potentials in humans

TL;DR: Anodal tDCS over the sensorimotor cortex can induce a long-lasting increase in the size of ipsilateral cortical components of SEPs, and might be a useful tool to induce plasticity in cortical sensory processing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Fronto-Temporal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Auditory Verbal Hallucinations and Resting-State Functional Connectivity of the Left Temporo-Parietal Junction in Patients With Schizophrenia

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the reduction of AVH induced by tDCS is associated with a modulation of the rs-FC within an AVH-related brain network, including brain areas involved in inner speech production and monitoring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for improving activities of daily living, and physical and cognitive functioning, in people after stroke

TL;DR: This update broadened the inclusion criteria to compare any kind of active tDCS for improving ADLs, function, muscle strength and cognitive abilities (including spatial neglect) versus anykind of placebo or control intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of risk-taking in marijuana users by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)

TL;DR: It is observed that right anodal/left cathodal tDCS of DLPFC is significantly associated with a diminished craving for marijuana and alterations in the decision-making neural networks among chronic marijuana users are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Task-specific facilitation of cognition by cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the cerebellum

TL;DR: These findings suggest that DC stimulation over the right cerebellum affects working memory and attention differently depending on task difficulty, and support a role for the Cerebellum in cognitive aspects of behaviour, whereby activity in the prefrontal cortex is likely dis-inhibited by cathodal tDCS stimulating over theright cerebellar cortex.
