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%).

Treatment of chronic tinnitus with repeated sessions of prefrontal transcranial direct current stimulation: outcomes from an open-label pilot study

TL;DR: An open-label pilot study suggests some beneficial effect of bifrontal tDCS (anode right and cathode left) in the treatment of severe tinnitus, warranting further controlled studies.

Endogenous Cortical Oscillations Constrain Neuromodulation by Weak Electric Fields

TL;DR: The results suggest that stimulation precisely adjusted in frequency to the endogenous oscillations is key to rational design of non-invasive brain stimulation paradigms and suggest that the key mechanism of tACS may be enhancing, but not overriding, intrinsic network dynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

tDCS possibly stimulates glial cells.

TL;DR: Theoretical calculations indicated that tDCS can affect the glial transmembrane potential, which is similar to what is physiologically observed in astrocytes during neuronal activation.
