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%).

Polarity-sensitive modulation of cortical neurotransmitters by transcranial stimulation.

TL;DR: MRS provides evidence that excitatory tDCS causes locally reduced GABA while inhibitory stimulation causes reduced glutamatergic neuronal activity with a highly correlated reduction in GABA, presumably due to the close biochemical relationship between the two neurotransmitters.

The functional neuroanatomy of depression: Distinct roles for ventromedial and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: Evidence is described from studies employing various experimental approaches in humans that converge to implicate the ventromedial and dorsolateral sectors of prefrontal cortex as critical neural substrates for depression, albeit with distinct functional contributions.

The role of ipsilateral premotor cortex in hand movement after stroke

TL;DR: Slowing of reaction time after premotor cortex TMS in the patients correlated inversely with the relative hemispheric lateralization of functional magnetic resonance imaging activation in PMd, suggesting that the increased activation in ipsilateral cortical motor areas during movements of a paretic hand represents a functionally relevant, adaptive response to the associated brain injury.
