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%).

Neural correlates of motor recovery after stroke: a longitudinal fMRI study.

TL;DR: The results further the understanding of the recovery process by demonstrating for the first time a clear temporal relationship between recovery and task-related activation of the motor system after stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic review on reporting and assessment of adverse effects associated with transcranial direct current stimulation

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of tDCS clinical trials suggested that some AEs such as itching and tingling were more frequent in the tDCS active group, although this was not statistically significant and a revised adverse effects questionnaire is proposed to be applied in tDCS studies in order to improve systematic reporting of tCS-related AEs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The action of brief polarizing currents on the cerebral cortex of the rat (1) during current flow and (2) in the production of long-lasting after-effects.

TL;DR: The after-action of transcortical polarizing current upon the activity evoked by stimulating the forepaw and upon spontaneous firing in cortical neurones is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Partially non‐linear stimulation intensity‐dependent effects of direct current stimulation on motor cortex excitability in humans

TL;DR: I‐waves, input–output curves and cortical silent period are unaffected immediately after 2 mA stimulation and short intracortical inhibition and facilitation are shifted towards excitability enhancement after both anodal and cathodal stimulation.
